wow...he dominated both fights...andrade has power!..he cought him late and he got up showed heart and finished,,,then he showed more heart by destroying a guy who just had him out the fight before...he has never lost, has a ton of skill, yet he is a clown
Would Bute be able to take the shot that made Taylor unconscious? Would he be able to take the right hands that KTFO Gevor and knocked down Miranda? The answer is simple, I guess you know it...
I think Bute could do well, how well im not sure. He should have a KO loss against him from his 1st fight with Andrade as the rules state a fighter has to be upright and not using the ropes or corner for support which Bute didnt do, he was leaning against the corner post whilst the ref counted. But Bute does appear to be a good fighter, but I think he might still be learning on the job. He never looked to call out Calzaghe and even though probably more gifted then say Froch his title fights havent been against as tough as opposition as Froch has fought, in my opinion. But yes it would make the super six alot better if Bute and his title were in the mix
In the closing seconds of the 12th and final round Arthur would be in no shape to throw that punch, or anything remotely like it.
Andrade is like a stiff robot. Besides, he was brought to CA to lose. Bottom line, Ward KO's him. Hell Allan Green's would KO him. Unfortunately, we'll never know because the powers that be feel he's not good enough. Even though he has the entire nation of Canada backing him, they still don't want him because he's NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Sorry:verysad
IMO he'd lose to Kessler, Ward and Abraham. I'm not really sold on Bute. Keeps his hands way too low for my liking.
Andrade had a reputation of being unknockable. Ward has a reputation of being the less powerful fighter of the super six. He has good power but at this level, his power is his weakness. Pavlik and Abraham knocked Miranda out, Ward did not. He threw anything he had on Kessler, including his head and was not able to knock him out. But he would be able to knock Andrade or Bute? :rofl You're just showing thread after thread your ignorance of boxing.
I was answering to another post. I was not saying Bute is Superman. Anybody can be hurt by a perfect shot. Who has the best chance to land the perfect shot is the question to ask. I personnally think Bute is fast enough to avoid Abraham's big shots.
Bute should be in the super 6 so we can say this tournament is about finding who the true 168lb king is. For some reasons he's not in but I can't wait for it to be over so we can find out who's who in the super middleweight category. All we can hope for is that once the tournament over, Bute fights the winner or/and the runner up.
