I'm not being sarcastic,I genuinely haven't heard this.Can you elaborate on this please? I certainly don't underrate Bute,I just believe Froch on top form can find a way past almost anyone.I wasn't aware of the IBF eliminator though,was it before the Pascal fight?
tho i am a bute fan i have to defend froch here.he didn't want that fight but he offered a fight to bute before super6.in fact he is the only one who send an offer to butes team,you can't really say froch is a coward,like fraud for example...
You can't use Johnson as a measuring stick at all. Clearly there was something wrong with him in the Bute fight. That was a shadow of the Johnson we saw even six months ago. Either he was truly hurt (his hand?) or he just, finally, got old. It happens.
Jonhson said yesterday that Bute will win a fight agains't Froch , he said that Froch wasn't a really good boxer.
so rather than admitting bute is that good that made johnson look amateurish you say the guy grew old in 6 months and lost his power,speed and reflexes in 6 months.or like your yesterday topic,maybe bute has loaded gloves.i think is more likely that you are just a ****** who has no clue
I think Johnson fought not to be KO'd. He took no risk. He didn't want to receive Bute's left uppercut and did all he can do to avoid it. The only way to keep his right hand on his ribs. With that strategy, its best weapon was out of business. I also think that he thought that if he made Bute fight forward, he would get more opportunities. Bute is very dangerous when countering.
What about the beat down he issued to Kessler? And dont mind whining about headbutts. Ward boxed Kessler from one side of the ring to the other.
laffie you are barking at the wrong tree.this guy made a topic insinuating bute has loaded gloves.he is just an idiot,don't bother explain boxing to the guy
a good performance ruined by fraud.just like his buddy dirrell pissed on all his work with abraham when he faked that ko.well...expected from american new generation of boxers..those guy grew up having the likes of hopkins as a roll model so cheating only comes natural....
Umm, those 2 frauds won those 2 fights. His performance wasnt "ruined" by anything. Anyone who saw the fight,saw Ward beat Kessler up. Even Kessler said after the fight, the better man won.
Kessler struggled with Andrade... Must be joke of the month... Welcome to boxing... Now go watch some fights.:nut
after that "Bute would slap the **** out of Froch and Ward" thread fiasco i understand where this guy comes from. Personally i think Bute is the most complete fighter at 168 and would beat anyone at that weight and possibly at 172 too. Only time would tell if i'm right and wrong, but needless to say "Bute is not in the same league as the other 2" or "he will slap the **** out of both of them" is exaggerated.
