I was only kidding about Wales, but a neutral location is not a bad idea. I agree though that both fighters need to increase their profiles, particularly in the US.
Easy pick...Bute by late K.O. Kessler have a better jab but everything else is in favour of Bute. This fight will happen in 2009 on HBO. The next fights of Bute (vs Andrade) and kessler (vs ?) are going to be on HBO so they will fight for sure in 2009 on HBO.
The difference between this two will be immediately obvious when Bute faces Andrade. He's gonna really struggle, I'm telling you now. I hope he comes through, and I think he will, but it will be a real problem for him.
Kessler - Andrade II is more likely since he will have the belt at that time! I truely believe that Andrade will TKO Bute in the 10.:bbb
I'll be waiting and seeing, don't you worry. I'm very interested in that fight, and I studied these two a lot recently. Bute has got all he can handle. I like Andrade, but I'll be rooting for Bute, because I think he makes a great fight with Kessler and I don't want his stock to fall.
Kessler is the better boxer, has faster hands, has better defence and is more accurate. Kessler UD 117-111
Bute has WAY faster hands and his more accurate than Kessler while they are both good boxers. Kessler does gave better D tho...
Bute fights like a kitten, he just isn't going to upset Kessler's flow at all. He had Joppy's ass whooped for ages, and he still stands off. I don't know what his corner tells him, he would be a far better fighter if he was more aggressive, rather than trying to be a southpaw Kessler He doesn't have the same fundamentals.
