I think Mundine would beat Bute. I think Bute's punches wouldn't trouble Mundine's defence much, and this would enable Mundine to open up enough to win most of the rounds. If you look at the speed, and accuracy of the punches thrown by bute when he has someone against the ropes, and compare it to Kessler's, I think you'll see a fair difference, and thats where I see Mundine getting enough confidence to go on and win a rather comfortable win, probably by 3 or so rounds.
Yeah, very possible. I haven't watched Choc lately either, so I cannot really comment. I am waiting for him to be in a more competitive fight...then, we'll see how much he's improved. Would love to see Bute v. Mundine though!:good
It's not worth the megs to see any of his recent fights because it's been against guys who should be mall security guards. The Soliman, and Green fights are the only ones worth watching, and the Green fight was almost 2 years ago. Admittedly, I haven't seen much of Bute's recent fights either, the last full one was the James Obede Toney one. I should really check out his fight with Bika.
Saw Soliman, Green and Kessler. You should definitely watch Bika and Berrio. http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Lucian%2BBute%2Bbika http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/Lucian%2BBute%2Bberrio
The irony of a Calzaghe fan coming on here tearing into Mundine when his hero was guilty of the very same thing for most of his career. This article was from only 3 years ago when he was about to fight that monster Viet for a second time after taking him out in 1 round in their first showdown lol. http://www.britishboxing.net/news_674-Calzaghe-contest-could-leave-a-bad-taste.html
True dat Carlton. I think Calzaghe's stocks were at an all toime low when he fought Ashira, and after the fight paraded his busted hand around to the camera's to let them know that the Lacy fight would be put off. His last 2 years have been good though, but before the Lacy fight, he was copping a fair bit of stick.
Viet was his mandatory thats why he fought Him again , thats what REAL CAHMPS do , dont worry about Choc the WBA will glady keep excepting the sanctioning fees off him to fight cans , Veit was something like 45-1 before the fight also and and had still to lose to anyone not named Calzaghe . now enjoy your lads win tonight and try not to gush too much if he happens to look your way .
Pecks fair comment but why did he fight Evans Ashire ? we all know it was a money fight he squeezed in to pay off his Mrs lol ok he messed up but still schooled LACY before unifying v Kessler ..
How many mandatories has Joe fought since capturing the WBO belt? The longest title reign in boxing let's remember... Not the best point for a Calzaghe fan to be making...:yep
