All boxers that Bute have faced have landed flush on him and Bute never got to the floor exept agains't Andrade and it was Bute was dead tired. I don't say Bute have the best chin in the division but i'm sure it isn't as bad as people think
It won't be a walk in the park. Some people are saying this is almost a mismatch, and it could be in the end... I don't personally think so. Johnson did fairly good vs Froch, and just came out and said 'I know I can do so much better, Froch didn't see my best'. That fukkin surprised me, especially with all the respect due to Froch. You're right, jabbing & moving wouldn't be a good plan A, and it won't be either... Bute says he's got surprises for Glen. I doubt he'd surprise him with an evening of sticking & moving... I think the hail mary's are coming Johnson's way at some point, and it's gonna be make or break time for Bute. :bbb
in red, do you mean regarding bute or boxing in general this past few months? in blue, you dont seam to think the same way when it come to bashing the guy.
I really need to make a comment! I voted 50-60%... guess what the average is around 50% This fight will be full of ups and downs for both fighters! if it goes to decision it will be 9-3 or 8-4 in favor of bute. If it's a KO/TKO it will happen later in the fight... round 8-12... 1.) Do not underestimate Bute's will to impress... he will be on his A game.... anybody counting on Andrade 1 happening again... FORGET IT!!! not happening. 2.) Johnson will have sparring flashbacks... ideas and visions of how he won those 30% of sparring rounds... he will apply tactics he tried before ... and yeah... he will succeed. But!!! not for long, Bute is a sharp knife... he will have flashbacks as well and hear his trainer's voice in the back of his head. I know it sounds deep and psychological.... but ppl... this fight is all about that! La force du mental! Bute will have to prove he is over Andrade 1 ... who helped him to get over Andrade 1... Glen did! I agree he is over the boxer Andrade, but is he over that thought that continuous pressure could hurt him... don't know yet... Bute KO 8-12
13Black, you have an unfair advantage which helps you making this prediction: "La dureté du mental!". P.S. It's a line in a Quebec movie, a voluntary bad translation of "mental toughness".
I'm surprised that about half of the voters give Bute a 50% or bigger chance to stop Johnson... That's incredibly high for such a matchup. :think I still think it's Bute by UD, but that's me..
we already now to much about your toughts on bute. you hate, but there is worst than you on esb. like in the game ''trou du cul'' i would rate you as secratery of the hate club. be proud for now, your hating days are comming to an end... but then again....probably not:hi:
I mean based on this particular ref and commision's past history and my expectation about boxing in general. Please feel free to point out where I've bashed Bute in this thread.
