So does Bute have the power to keep legitimate 175lbrs from pressuring him? We all saw what a 168 Andrade did. Would he have enough snap to have kept Diacanu/Dawson or even Adamek (back when he was 175?) from pressuring him for a whole 12 rounds? :huh
Pascal didn't have enough "snap" to keep Diaconu from pressuring...BUt he had enough "skills" to beat him. BUte would do that too. Dawson is more of a boxer-puncher. That would be a good fight. Dawson may be too much. Is Adamek a pressure fighter? I dont really know about him.
Wait a minute.. it"s hard to imagine a fight between Dawson and Bute. First Bute is under 35 years old and he's not a club fighter. And Dawson only fights these two types of fighters.
Wait a minute!! 175 is plenty of young marquee names! Wait a minute!! Tarver was not a champion! Wait a minute! Johnson is so easy to beat! He always looks so bad! Wait a minute! Adamek is a bum! Wait a minute! Dawson is so old! (27) WHat a failure has his career been!
His good win is Dawson. He lost to Johnson and bored to death against an ancient Tarver. And he's fought a couple of cans in between. What are you trying to prove?
bassettt newbie atsch Bute can make this weight and can surely have some sucess with this class. Boxers in this weight (not all but...) tend to be a little bit slower and Bute can maybe capitalize on this if he can keep his speed at this weight. Dawson would be a very tough fight but Adamek, Pascal, Henry, Brahmer are winnable fights. I would like to see him vs a big, young and agressive guy like Tavoris Cloud....:bbb
I should not been talking yet But Im pretty sure Young gun Beibut Shumenov would already knock Bute the **** out at 175. Lets first see how he does against Campillo.
Shumenov seems to be getting overrated already, same with Cloud. Dawson and Pascal are the main men at LHW and I think both would beat Bute at 175. By close UD only (Dawson beating him slightly wider than Pascal).
Pascal is piece of crap(=Yeah Im exxagerating), he was out boxed by Carl Froch. get the f%¤k out with that Diaconu win:rofl
Err Pascal only just lost in a SHOOT OUT to Froch who has great power and a granite chin. He rocked him several times despite fighting injured and not fighting his fight and not fighting to his game plan (and he didnt too badly, I had it 115-133 Froch). Pascal could outbox Froch with ease, I'm a Froch fan aswell. If they rematched and Pascal actually did what he was good out he beat Froch with ease.
Most people in Montreal (and they know both men) think Bute has an edge on Pascal. 175 won't make a difference, as Pascal is not so big on fightnights. Pascal is improving fastly though. Very entertaining fight. No one in that division is like Andrade. Dawson is very good, and bigger, I don't know. Bute is not ready to change anyway. Dawson may go down to 168 before Bute goes to 175.
pensioners...:huh.... Depend on who you think are in the light heavy....Johnson, Erdei,...maybe even Green.
