Lucian Bute - hand speed (video inside)

Not particularly high. Horrible visual aid.

 

is lucian wearing concrete gloves in that clip...:huh:huh
he looks so ssssssssssssssssssssssslow...

 

ive been converted....:good

 

Pretty nice, though he is throwing a wild combination where he is naturally going to look fast. I would like to see a gif of a typical combo to better assess his speed.

 

LIGHTNING LUCIAN BUTE....:yep

 

Loooooove that onslaught. Bute has a good future. Bute Froch in the future.

 

The hand speed is great, but not impressive.
What is impressive is where most of these punches land at this speed

 

Probably not and certainly not anywhere other than Quebec.

 

Dirrell - really? Shaw-hi will give him the go-ahead?
Kessler - he might be retiring for all we know..!
Stieglitz - has ducked Bute in the past, will duck him again.
Dawson/Pascal - will not come down to 168 for now, vice versa for Bute.
Martinez - maybe, and that'd be huge... but I'd be overly surprised.

So you're probably right, unless Bute-Dirrell happens in March... lots of boxing fans i.e. money in Mtl/Qc, and not enough Americans care enough about Dirrell -Flint, Detroit, Vegas, name it- for his promoter to make a higher purse bid than Interbox IMO.

Who else would you say qualifies for top 10 SMW and is avail to fight Bute? He already beat Bika & Andrade, and Green is out of the top 10 picture.
