I have studied Bute and.....

your wrong about the punching and clinching I will bet money Bute will hit Ward with a uppercut to the body everytime he tries to clinch uhnlike most fights, Bute has the handspeed and power advandage he isnh't here to laydown and accept **** p.s Kessler's been done and would get stopped against Bute and no he really cant outbox him Kessler gets massively overrated for LOSING to a certain fighter and another loss is all he has to look forward to if he want's to continue his ...I guess you could call it a career.

 

Putting bums like Andrade and middleweight Miranda down doesn't mean it can put down elite fighters.

Bute needs to step it up and stop feasting on bums of the month opponents.

 

I don't get why people regard andrade as some top notch fighter... mikkel kessler literally shut him out 12-0 and bute the first time he beat him won that fight by like 6-7 rounds bute just broke from the pressure.... name me 1 elite fighter who ever got closed out 12-0

 

Andrade isn't a master at boxing but his still a though warrior.What's impressive it's that Bute have been the first one to stop him!

 

Miranda yes. Andrade though is as solid as they come and he got put down multiple times. If he can put down Andrade you can bet your ass he can put down anyone at 168 down with that uppercut.

 

I think you did a good thing in trying to put emotion aside. Others might think to do the same.

As for your conclusion, I agree that his main weapon is his uppercut. But in his career he used other way to stop or beat other fighters. Of course he didnt do it with the elite of SMW and everyone (including Bute's fan) said he need to step up.

 

+1

He uses his uppercut too much when he doesn't fear his opponent. Against the elite, he won't be able to set a so easy trap and will have to be more versatile. He has the tools to do it, he used many other weapons before, he has to bring them back. Bute's main assets are timing, reflexes and accuray. That will be tough for anyone to beat. Since he hasn't faced elite yet, he has to prove he can do it.

 

The thing with guys like Andrade though is that getting hit over and over and over and over by monster punchers eventually erodes the granite a little bit. He absorbed every shot flush, and there comes a point where it adds up, so I don't put too much credence in suddenly him being unable to take it after the horrific beatings some elite guys dished out on him. He should have gotten his victory in their first fight, though.

 

bute cant handle pressure as seen in his fight with andrade

 

i like andrade you hating mother ****er

 

He beat Andrade, Miranda, Bika, all pressure fighters. Some posters hate him because he only faces pressure fighters, and you think he cannot handle them. Bute is one of the best counter punchers. That means he loves the pressure.

Have you watched the rematch against Andrade?

 

jmm

 

I see Ward's style vulnerable of uppercuts. when he tryes to clinch, Bute will time him with upercuts to the body. Kessler moves in str8 lines back and forward so Bute will know where Kessler will be. Bute is a thinker and he will figure MK and outclass him. Ward/Froch vs Bute is 50/50 and Kessler vs Bute is 40/60 to me.

AND for those that say Bute doesn't like pressure, NEWSFLASH : Bute loves pressure. He is also a counter puncher and is efective when pressed.
