It ain't a different story till he actually fights at SMW against a natural SMW,he might not be the same fighter here.And I don't count Abraham out that easy.
Abraham is really good at what he does, and he does have the biggest one punch in the boxing world. But, he is short, he relies on getting people up on them ropes or countering with his lefthook/uppercut, and he fights in spurts, he takes rest-minutes almost every round. I am sorry, but th excellence of Kessler and Bute would prevail 10/10 times against that kind of fighter. Unless they stick their chin out for Abraham to crack em', they win, and win comfortably.:good
this fight could be a top 10 of 2008.... Bute is razor sharp. his ability to cross 3 meters in a split second is enjoyable to watch, but i think andrade will take that away from him with andrades relentless margarito style pressure and impenetrable jaw (not impenetrable defense, which bute should be able to get into without too much trouble). watch for bute having a seeming lack of power against andrade, as kessler did. andrade will look excellent, but will get slower as the fight progresses as Bute's jab gets more and more effective. but...strong possibility of andrade capitalizing on a bute mistake (rare), and throwing hard combos to get bute in trouble. as for bute vs. kessler - kessler is slightly more powerful than bute, about as fast, and perhaps slightly more skilled and experienced. kessler last year would have beaten bute right now, but kessler's last showings have not been great since JC, while bute's showings have been great. but, Kessler KO 11.
andrade totally reminded me of margarito when I saw him destroy this guy on an undercard...just pure straight ahead rock chin non stop fighting
You haven't seen him either?Man get some tapes and less ESB .Anyway Froch is a wild,agggrsive fighter.He can box as much as Pavlik(if you know what I mean).Taylor didn't wanna fight him(to not say duck) for the title.Taylor vs Lacy eliminator for Froch vs Pascal title fight.Taylor is gonna chicken out I bet like the chicken he is.Froch is a good fighter and still unproven tough,Pascal will be a big test
I'm taking andrade late ko with him way down on the card's. i think this is a bad style match-up bute. I consider bute the 2nd best smw but styles make fight's. It should be a compelling match-up.
Froch almost knocked Tatevosyan through the ropes... in 2 rounds. ...Bute struggles for 12 rounds against Tatevosyan.
Tatevosyan was coming in shape and after a win with Bute,he didn't train and was completely shot with Froch.And anyway if that's how you judge fighters you don't know ****:bart

I have looked for the Bute v Tatevosyan fight but i suppose its too dull and make him look bad ? Plus it would be in 4 or 5 parts....
It's not dull and it didn't make him look bad,Bute totally outclassed him and outboxed him,it was a shoutout,Tatevosyan won a round max:tong
