this arguement has been brought up for every decent foreigner above bantamweight the last 30 years i have followed boxing. 12,000 packed house and you want him to fight in where vegas ? in front of one man and his dog on ppv with 50,000 tv viewer`s .
Nice fight, did you like it, laffie? I was very impressed with your analysis...you called it to a T...headmovement, bodyshots...you called it, mon ami!:good:happy
Bute is nothing like Calzaghe...except in that he's a SP. Doesn't fight like Calzaghe, doesn't have the same style. I think Bute v. Taylor says more than Bute v. Froch, to be honest...
He'll get stopped again. Very overrated. Kessler never even came close to folding against Andrade and Bute gets KTFO by Andrade who has no defence and one good arm.
After Taylor disposes of Froch I hope Bute will fight JT. He will think he's fast until Taylor blitzes him.
:verysad :verysad Maybe coz Zuniga was more effective at lower weights? :roll: He won a vacant belt and has defended against Joppy, Andrade and Zuniga. He is NOT borderline world class. Makes no sense...Kessler has fought in the US, UK, Australia and Germany. He puts most fighters to shame in terms of travelling to fight.
He didn't dominate Andrade more than Kessler did. That's a very big stretch. Still Zuniga is a decent opponent who Bute took care of in impressive fashion. He's likely to rematch Andrade before the year ends so...what's the problem?
Andrade is underrated most of the time because of his speed , but this guy just dosnt know how to back up , i dont see a lot of fighter who could beat him at 168 . im pretty sure Bute learning more between his fight then Andrade . The Andrade rematch will look just like the first fight without the twelvth round question mark!
The thing is Andrade had moments outside of that round where he hurt Bute. I know it's hindsight hyperbole to say that Bute won every round except the 12th but he had more than a few moments where he was dazed/stunned/on the ropes. It's not like he completely shut him out like Kessler did. I think Bute will win again and hopefully clear up the contreversy but I won't count out a terminator like Andrade.
