Bute vs the Super 6

He will for sure. Ward may also want to change stance from time to time, in order to get Kessler mixed up. I'm not sure Ward is experienced enough and his power won't keep Kessler from coming. I expect Kessler to win this one but Ward could win his other matches.

 

You see, for me, I think that Froch-Dirrell( UD DIrrell) and Abraham-Taylor(Abraham TKO) are easier to predict but for Ward-Kessler, I have some doubt about the Dane...I wouldn't be surprise to see Ward get a SD or UD. But out of the six boxers in Showtime's tournament, Kessler is, on paper, the best boxer.

 

Dirrell gonna win it!!

 

I think Bute has the skillset to give Kessler a lot of problems. He fights quite a bit like Calzaghe, and that herky jerky, speedy, southpaw style left Kessler with no answers and his only career loss. Froch would have a puncher's chance, but that's about it. Andre Ward seems to lack the firepower to keep Bute honest, and I don't think Dirrell or Abraham would be able to overcome his speed. His toughest fight would be Jermaine Taylor imo. He has all of the skills and athletic ability to be able to put rounds in the bank and squeak out a decision, and I don't think Bute could hurt him. Bute isn't a bigtime puncher like Pavlik or Froch.
