Will he get his chin shattered tonight or will his mandible stay intact until next time? Hopefully he wins by KO as I have some change on him to do just that.
Anything other than a win by stoppage tonight will be a MAJOR downer for his and his career. He needs a great showing to get back on the map. That being said, he looks in absolute top shape and I think he wins by TKO around round 6.
Should be a KO win for the Butemeister, but you never know, Pinoy should have added it to the lineup tonight.
Bute doesn't have a bad chin. He just doesn't have the mental toughness to keep on going when he gets hit.
Bute was always packing glass, as the Andrade fight showed. If not for his hometown ref Marlon Wright, Bute would have gotten the KO loss he deserved then. Froch just finished the job exposing those fragile whiskers that Andrade started.
1 st round was fairly even , Bute looking to find his groove . De Luisa looked ok 2nd round - Bute finding his groove a bit , he took that round 3rd - Bute effectively doubling up with the left hand . Fight is heating up a bit
4 th - Di Luisa landed a decent shot , Bute took it ok but it was a pretty good shot about a minute later Bute drops DiLuisa pretty hard with a left but he got up , Bute closed in and had Di Luisa covering up , corner stops the fight. So Bute is back it seems , after 18 months this is a good comeback appearance. He looked ok but to me he stays in the pocket too long after throwing his shots when he should be out of range ... it's just his style , he is pretty good at landing the left and doubling up with it .
