    Froch "behind's" slowppercut woldn't be that sharp and well executed. Bute's uppercut combines power speed and accuracy. Got it now my slow minded friend ?

    I'm not hating on Bute I just think that Miranda is irrelevant in the SMW division. I was sad to see Kessler loose to Ward, but these things happen in sports. Ward was the better man on the night:

    I'm not very confident in Kessler going into the Froch fight mainly because of the lack of information there is on Kessler's preparation, but also because I fear he might be done for.

    As for a Kessler Bute fight I'm actually leaning towards Bute at the moment unless Kessler really has changed his game.

    Most people would still pick a prime, peak Kessler against the best Froch we've seen so far. But Kessler hasn't looked that great in his last two fights. Still, if he performs as well as ever, I will give Froch a hell of a lot of praise for beating him, and I hope you will as well. Similarly, if Froch performs very well and Kessler beats him, the latter deserves a lot of praise!

    Sorry to repeat myself, but the way I judge wins is not by the name that you fought and the W/L/D on boxrec, but by the level of performance of the two fighters on the night and by how dominant the winner was.

    Miranda always gets beside himself and gets destroyed. He's not even a gate keeper anymore.

    Agreed, maybe he should have allowed Miranda to tee off on him a little too. Bute didn't display any recovery prowess at all, I surprised the IBF don't strip him- he's a disgrace.

    Well you shouldn't judge of the names, but of the ability of the person behind the name of course.
    The reason why I don't rate Kessler as highly as of now is not because he lost to Ward, but because his footwork looked sloppy and he seemed unable to pull the trigger. This of course has something to do with Ward's performance, but it was clear as day that Kessler had slipped a bit as well. For the record I think that Ward would have won over a prime Kessler as well.

    As for Froch he's an enigma to me. He's sloppy with his defence, he's slow on his feet, but he just keeps on coming and punching and has a long reach. I really think that his confidence is what is fueling his winning streak. I would like to pick Kessler in their fight, but I'm just not sure.

    I'm not rooting for any boxer out of blind faith.

    People are impressed because they for some elusive reason still think Miranda is world class fighter. However, once you discount that Miranda lost every single time he faced any amount of opposition you quickly come to the conclusion that Miranda has become a mediocre journeyman.

    Bute's win is not overly impressive. He disposed of a bum, but did so in style. Solid win, but he just did his job.

    That was a hell of a well-timed uppercut. Bute will have trouble with a fighter with good movement, like Ward or Dirrell, but with his range of punches, most of which can put a fighter to sleep, he'd destroy Froch, Kessler or Abraham.
