I was very saddened by Bute's apprehension last night. He also seems to have LOST confidence in his power. I could find no way to score the fight for Grachev, although I will say that he did land many shots, and the early HB which drew blood, may have been a confidence builder for him.

Can't say exactly why Bute so badly under performed. I mean Grachev is not an elite fighter. He's a solid fighter. He's got a strong chin. Good defense and good power, but he doesnt shorten his punches all that well, he essentially throws NO jabs. Does he even know how too? He almost forces himself to lean forward as some measure of balance. He's the prototypical B level guy. And he'll never be or beat an elite or even spoil an A level fighter. He has one speed. Steady. And while it might rack up rounds against some types of fighters, he's going to need to be KOing guys if he gonna hang around as a contender.

I don't want to make this a criticism of Grachev. He performed better than anyone might have expected. But it why he was allowed to which sickens me.

It's like from the first rd, Bute was only throwing when he had too. Just enough to be in a round. Perhaps knowing, that all close rds go to the hometown fighter. But he was pulling his punches. He almost refused to commit to anything. His combinations were so few and far between, and his body attack was nonexistent.

Bute wastes these Blevel fighters. I mean he absolutely wastes these guys. Yet for whatever reason, last night, he completely underachieved for 11 rds. I mean don't get me wrong, there were times it looked as if Bute was gonna turn back the clock to May 4th, but just as soon as the shots were throw, he'd pitter patter a jab, put his high guard up and back up against the rope where Grachev would land that R hand. :rofl:rofl

Where the hell was that vicious attack to the body? Where was the spinning of his opponent after a flurry? Hell, where were the flurries?:huh

I don't know if Bute was trying to test himself and was purposefully letting Grachev get off, or if he's so completely lost his confidence that he has become shot overnight.

I'm hoping beyond hope that he was simply allowing himself to go rounds and allowing himself to take shots. Using this fight as a real time sparring session for the Froch fight, but not wanting to give away his hole cards. It aint the most popular idea, but he may have purposefully under-performed on the night, simply because he knows that Carl Froch would be watching. Knowing that a closer fight and showing vulnerability may cause Froch to make less than 100% preparation.
Perhaps the Bute of the 12th rd is the Bute who will show up in rd 1 of the Froch fight? That's Bute's ONLY hope really, because if the Lucian Bute of Rd 1-2 show up against Froch, that's the only Bute we will see, because that's how long he'll last. :-(

Good post, but I think you're much too generous in your appraisal of Bute's "strategy". Maybe at times he did want to clock rounds in, but most of the time, he was just trying to survive and stay in the fight, or just to do enough to win the round, as you described.

There is no doubt in my mind that we've seen the best of Bute already.

Grachev was a though opponent, he put a lot of pressure on me. Overall I'm happy of how I've performed, after the fight against Froch. I feel liberated, this is the real Bute. I want the rematch, I hope he wins his next fight so we can face each other again.

Grachev: I want Bute again, in San Francisco. I can fight against anybody even those from SuperSix.

The rest is down in Romanian. Use google translation.

Funny how fickle "fans" are on here. Half of these same pricks slating Bute now were lineing up for a place on Silkah's nuts a year ago.

That's the funny thing about sports fans, especially fight fans, people often look like total bi-polars, setting their perspectives from one spectrum of deduction to the complete opposite side, and in a flash I must say...

Bute against Andrade (II) and against Glen Johnson was twice better than against Bika. This guy is blocked. He isn't finish at all.

Joe Calzaghe tweeted that he thought Bute lost - and that Froch would destroy him in a rematch.
