Bute - Berrio Analysis

Not if he should risk falling short. Remember his team is not the richest of guys out there, and therefore does easy money sound pretty good. Remember if he should aim for the big fights he would end up fighting a lot as an away boxer (because the other promoters have the money), which enhances the risk of losing a lot, and then we are back at the risk of falling short and thereby no money. Why not chose the risk free decent paydays? I'm saying this from a manager and even more a promoters viewpoint. As a boxing fan I would of course wish for him to take the biggest fights.

I hope it makes sense.

 

Berrio has that typical puncher's syndrome. He fell in love with his firepower and never really learned his trade. Bute gave him a boxing lesson, and made it look easy. There isn't really much that can be said inasmuch as Berrio made every mistake in the book. He was trying to fight but had no idea how to get the job done. Wisely Bute gave Berrio's firepower a lot of respect and that is why it took so longer for him to get the knockout. Could have finished off Berrio sooner, but then would have risked getting himself KO'd. Bute planned his work and worked his plan like a true profesional. Impressive performance.

 

Beyer is/was better than Berrio, but he has been inactive for a very long period now which would have done him no good.

 

Bute also showed a leaky defence:huh :huh

Wow, come on mate! The air degree went down by 10 in Montreal, that how much Berrio hit the air. Berrio attack and threw shot all night and touched very little and never got Bute in any form of trouble.

The only thing is Bute did seem a little out on conditioning, perhaps he should already think about moving up in weight. But it did not affect is punching. Being to prudend allowed Berrio to hang around this much, keep in mind this guy does not have as many fight under the belt as the other two champs.

 

:good Yes, you are right, as usual...but I would still steer a middle course between your view of what Interbox should do, and my previous view...if I wer eInterbox...

...it is important for Lucian not to take his foot of the pedal now that he has fought 2 hard fights against decent opposition. He should certainly not start fighting NAMES or guys outside the top 15...yes, he needs to learn more and develop, and he shouldn't take unnecessary risks before he's ready, but he should still take challenging fights against live opponents that could beat him, I think. It's also good for business, I think, especially in the medium-long-term. No? What are your thoughts?:think

 

Why was Bute getting so tired in there tonight? I thought he would be very fit for this fight!

Maxime, do you think he put on too much weight after the weigh-in? :think

​

 

I totally agree, he should take challenging fights that help him develop further, and with time, the right management and luck (an injury can spoil a lot for instance) the big money will follow. Until now he has been brought forward perfectly and hopefully Interbox will keep doing this (not too fast and not too slow).

A problem could be whether or not he will be able to keep the weight down?

 

I was at the fight and Im pretty tired now for an in depth analysis :tired.

Berrio may be better than most people think. Great workrate, great stamina, more than 100 punches per round and strong enough to KO his opponent with one punch. I'd like to see more of him in the future. :good That way, we will be able to put Bute's performance in perspective. :think But he lost to Henry Porras F****.atsch

Bute was good enough to win. :deal

His next opponent his going to be Beyer. People know him in mtl, I heard that Beyer camp have options on Bute's next fight (however, Im not 100% sure about that). Beyer is next. I'm going to sleep hehe :tired.

Thanks you all for all the posts ! :happy

 

Yes! But we have to be careful not to overrate Bika and Berrio just because they did well against Bute...but I felt both of them were good and up for it on the day! I am looking forward to see both of them in action. Had Bute not had as good a chin, Berrio would have KD/KOed him, with all the advantages that Bute was supposed to have over him! And Bute might not be the best, but he is a Top fighter...maybe Berrio has improved...why not admit that this possibility exists...?

 

I didnt noticed Bute getting tired bt then again I was sitting 50m from the ring. :rofl

 

Nice avatar, Maxime!:good

 

I highly dought Sauerland hs any kind of options on Bute's fights.

 

Bute was clearly tired in the middle rounds. That was the first time I saw him tired so soon in a fight. Is it possible that he was overtrained? I am not an expert and don't have any comparatives, but is 143 rounds of training a bit too much in term of preparation?
