It was the heat of the moment. It's easy for us fans to watch a fight and talk about how the fighters feel after 30 minutes of a gruelling fight whilst sat on our arses, drinking some beer. That sort of thing happens in boxing. I don't think he really knew what the situation was or what to do, so he did the only thing he knows which is throw punches. You can't expect a fighter to immediately become rational when a fighter goes to the floor, which is why so many fighters have hit downed opponents. It happens. It doesn't prove that Abraham had already admitted defeat.
What I actually hope happens is 1) Ward's handspeed & fouling frustrate and anger AA to a never-before-seen level, 2) AA ends up testing Ward's chin with monster hooks - possible KD, and 3) Ward puts his in-fighter's ego aside and fights AA on the outside for a UD win. In that order, obviously.
just because butes glass jaw was horrifically exposed v andrade, don't come into a team elite thread talking your vile nonesense :deal
Bute gassed. Welcome to 2008. Had he really had a glass jaw, he would have gotten KD well before the 12th.
butes resume is like a piece of revolting dog dirt :dead andrade had bute on ***** street because bute has a repulsive glass mandible that will be exposed the 1st time he steps up in class :deal you also have zero vcash the vcash barrometer states that a total of 0 = a cum guzzling tranny queen deepthroater with zero boxing knowledge :-(
Bold prediction. We'll see in about 4-5 months. You know, The Ring ranks Andrade ahead of both Johnson & Abraham at SMW, and oddly enough behind Stieglitz who Andrade whooped. Froch's dominating win over an demotivated AA < Bute's KO of Andrade who had only been KD once in 30 fights (incl fights vs Kessler, Mack & Tsypko) After that, what's up with Froch's resume? An SD over Dirrell? A hail mary against a shot Taylor who was a natural MW? Just playing the devil's advocate. Bute-Kessler or Bute-Dirrell is happening this summer, chincheckers could end up eating good portions of rotten crow.
Bute is happy to stay in his back yard defending his IBF against fringe world level guys (although Brinkley and Magee are no where near world level). That's fine. Lots of fighters have done it, lots still do, especially in Germany. The problem is his deluded fan boys come on here saying he is the #1 168lber and glamorizing his paper thin resume. Bute is a Glass Jawed fraud. End of.
Wrong, and wrong. Prove it by linking A) an interview that reflects the first part, and by B) quoting anyone on ESB beside Farmboxer and naldo marshal who posted he was clearly #1 at SMW. Good luck.
I would be happy if AA last the whole 12 rounds, he propably will but it will not look pretty. Ward will be all over him. AA got some minor punchers chance which he is not able to use being the terrible plodder he is. I will support AA to very end but the guy has been exposed.
