Grachev won that fight. I knew they were going to rob him if he didn't get a KO when I heard the biased announcers and saw that phony tv scorecard that kept giving rounds to Bute that Grachev had clearly won.
All the middle rounds they were awarding to Bute, when Grachev was pounding him against the ropes, was more than a bit strange. Hey, a bull**** hometown boxing decision. I'm so surprised.
Bute squeezed it out,in my opinion.I scored it 115-113-but Anbers card was pathetic as were 2 of the 3 score cards by the "judges". Bute better be more prepared for the March fights or it will be an early nite for him.
I disagree. I had Grachev well ahead. I like your sign on name, though. "Fat City" was, I think, the best boxing movie ever made.
I am a bute fan and I scored it a draw. But if there had to be a winner I felt Bute was closest to winning.
well you know **** about boxing! It was a close Bute victory , i had it 116-112 with a couple of close rounds, Bute won it in the championship rounds. 118-110 was ridiculous though!
bute should just forget about froch and focus on money fights like chavez jr, arthur abraham, he'll get annihilated again
Bute 116-113 IMO. Anbers card was insane though. Early rounds for Grachaev and then all the middle for Bute?!
I had it 115-113 for Bute. I am troubled by his reactions in the ring last night, however. I expected yet did not see any improvement on the types of mistakes he made against Froch (moving straight back after getting hit, and thus remaining in the target sights of Grachev; lingering on the ropes ect.).
