Bute deserved to win......the KO could have been called but it wasn't and up to that point Bute was dominating so with that.....Bute is clearly the better boxer and Andrade is a tough fighter who lacks fundementals in boxing. He's got a warroirs heart though.
Do you think the punch that opened up jones eye was limp wristed, do you think the jabs he kept repeatedly backing jones up with were slaps?? Well up until now if your logic is true and calzaghe slaps with limp wrists then no one so far has walked through them and knocked him out have they??? Watch calzaghe box without your bias hat on and watch the angles he finds look at the fight to see how accurate his shots were and how many punches landed. His movement around the ring the was he can adapt mid fight and work out the other guy and find the weaknesses and exploit them. There is no finer boxer at the moment
Check out Glenn Johnson's record at SupermiddleWeight, then claim Calzaghe was ducking him. Please, go ahead. V http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=007361&cat=boxer For whatever reason Johnson was good at MW, couldn't win at SMW, then was good again at LHW again. Johnson W-L record at SMW was subpar. If Calzaghe would of fought Johnson at the time people would be pissed as **** for Calzaghe fighting a guy losing so many fights. Johnson lost these fights at 168. Merqui Sosa Joseph Kiwanuka Syd Vanderpool Silvio Branco Omar Sheika Sven Ottke
i agree i thought glen won landed the more meaningful blows and took a lot of dawsons shots on the gloves and arms...glen didnt have a mark on him afterwards
Bute deserved to win, sure, but he didn't clearly show he was better by any means. It doesn't matter whether he outboxed Andrade for 11 rounds or not, if he was almost stopped in the dieing seconds. There needs to be a rematch to show us all who is the better fighter. If Andrade stops him in the rematch late on, after getting outboxed, Andrade would be the better fighter.
chad dawson won 8 rounds vs glen...i was at the bell centre the night bute got knocked out by andrade...or as you french say...centre bell
BUt you could argue that Johnson and Tarver were past their best! Tarver only looked good against Woods, I was screaming at the t.v for Woods to show something at least make the journey over to the u.s worthwhile! I dont think those two victories make dawson a top contender
2 months ago a lot of people would have said the same about pavlik. Calzaghe's ducking him running scared etc.
8??????????????You are blind mister....he didn't win no 8 rounds on anybody's card but the bling judges cards.He really won 6 clearly and maybe 7.PLease name those 8. And you really are blind....Bute won UD,you should have seen that from any seat
Dawson is a consensus to 3 LHW. His last two wins were against guys who destroyed a younger, better version of the Roy Jones that Calzaghe just beat. If you don't think Dawson is worthy enough to fight Joe, then you obviously must believe that Cazlaghe should fight Hopkinsa again or retire.
I don't know about that Thunder, I gave Dawson 7 rounds. I gave Johnson the 11th round despite Dawson winning most of the round before getting stunned near the end of the round. That round could've arguably gone to Dawson. Giving 7 or 8 rounds to Dawson is fair.
You asked how Mayweather would've done with hand problems like Calzaghe. He's been dealing with bad hands since the beginning of his career. Despite this he's still remained undefeated, and he's still been able to record legit stoppages over multiple divisons despite being the smaller man most of the time.
