How well do you think Bute does in these matches?

vs Ward - probably drops a close decision
vs Kessler - wins a clear decision
vs Froch - wins an early KO
vs Abraham - wins a wide decision, possible stoppage if AA takes liberties (but then he could get caught himself)
vs Green - wins a clear decision

 

Here's what we know so far about him:

Nice jab
Uses reach and distance effectively
Good footwork
VICIOUS Left uppercut to the body/head combined with
Great timing catching opponents coming in

One thing I wonder about with Bute, however, is how he'll fare against a slick boxer type like Ward or Dirrell, where he is the aggressor. Most of the fights we've seen him in, he times the opponents coming in and times his counters effectively. Yes, he was the aggressor in his fight against Zuniga, but you can't compare a guy like that to Ward or Dirrell. The others, like Kessler and Abraham, I believe he has the tools to work over. I will say this, though, he does get hit. Both Miranda and Andrade were landing quite effectively on him before they got stopped.

 

vs Ward - wins via late TKO

vs Kessler - if Kessler looks as bad as in his last Fights Bute wins via late Ko by a bodypunch

vs Froch - wins clearly on point

vs Abraham - wins by TKo round 10 ( stylistically Bute is one of the worst opponents for Abraham)

vs Direll - Wins by late Tko or U.D

vs Green - wins by Ko in the round 1-4

 

when the smoke has cleared it wouldnt surprise me to see bute as the 168 pd champ. i can see ward giving him the most problems of the above mentioned fighters.

 

vs Ward L UD
vs Kessler W UD
vs Froch L tko 12
vs Abraham L 7 rd ko
vs Dirrell W UD 12
vs Green W UD 12

 

Vs Ward - I Agree, but could go either way, especially with the crowd in montreal, Ward could get intimidated, as could the judges, with every punch Bute throws being cheered.
Vs Kessler - i think this one is closer than u've got it, But i agree, Bute has it
Vs Froch - I know skills are pants at the best of times, and he'l be out of his depth against bute, but Froch has the heart of a lion, and i think he takes it 12 rounds, and then has a punchers chance, but nothing more, i ahve Bute UD.
Vs Abrahams a right miserable so and so,he never drops his guard, i cant see him getting tagged badly, and i think he's in wtih a chance of a late KO win against a tiring Bute, so i'll go Abraham on this one.
Vs Green - Green is pants, i've never seen anybody hyped upso much, to turn out as **** as he was when i saw him against Tarvis Simms,a dn he was outboxed by Miranda. I say early KO.

 

I only see bute beating green nobody else on this list...IMO

 

:smoke

 

I'm sure you're underestimating Green

 

loses to ward and dirrell. Even money against kessler and beats the rest.

 

Bootay would lose to 'em all with the possible exception of AA.

 

I could see him going 6-0 at best or 3-3 at worst. He'd beat the **** outta Green. That's the easiest fight to pick for me. Green's got nothing on these guys.
