Ive been there too buddy. Every damn time i make my pic (usually who i want to win, not necessarily think they will) it always goes wrong.
You're a hater and a clown. Excessive grabbing? wtf you're an idiot. Somehow i suspect that you're a huge Ward fan thought and his holding is 'skillful' correct lol Not even a week ago they admitted that they didn't invite Bute.
No, I hate Ward's style too. If they didn't invite Bute, then I stand corrected. Bute deserves credit for stopping a guy who had him out in their first fight. But keep things in perspective, Andrade got easily outboxed by Kessler, a guy who just got owned by Ward. But yes, I can't stand Ward's style either, although like Bute, he's very good at that style and wins fights with it. Both Ward and Bute are winners. That doesn't mean I have to enjoy watching them every time. Not hating. Just being honest. This was a very good win for Bute. I just don't like guys that move around and grab when you get close. I prefer to see actual legitimate defense like blocking and moving of the head, kind of what was exhibited by Ali Funeka tonight. I have more respect for Funeka in a draw than I would for someone who grabs a lot in a win. I admit I was soured to Bute by the first Andrade fight, but I am willing to reconsider my opinion after tonight's performance and will continue to watch Bute with an eye towards his willingness to fight and not run and grab. A guy who can punch like that doesn't need to run and grab.
yep. bute should have been in this tournament. no excuses really. he's the michael spinks of the division right now. :yep as long as he beats some decent contenders from now to the end of the tournament he'll probably become the no1 challenger for the winner. in some ways his approach could pay off nicely. :deal
What a shot Bute shows his superior and **** all that negative shti saying andrade's a bum Bute just knocked out a top 5 contenderAndrade would cause problems to anyone like abraham,froch,direll.Nice win champion whos next ?
Andrade is crude but he has several solid wins. Stieglitz (WBO Champ) Mack (Top10 at 175lbs) Tsypko (Skillful southpaw!)
