~ Lucian BUTE v. Mads LARSEN ~ THOUGHTS and PREDICTIONS ~

They have been negociating for weeks if not months for this fight. So Im guessing bute's team is trying to get a big ring with neutral judges and ref, etc...

 

I've got a bad feeling about this one. It just doesn't seem like a wise option here for Bute.

Will be interesting to see though.

 

Larsen isn't half bad - he is levels above anything Bute has faced so far - so it might become interesting.

As for Bute-Miranda versus Bute-Larsen

Larsen would beat Miranda easy - Miranda is pictureferfect for a slick southpaw counterpuncher like Larsen.

I find it hard to believe that it would be in Copenhagen thou - makes no sense and little money - unless of course Kessler is put on the card...

 

Great fight for Bute, Decebal. The other Golden Boy, Mads Larsen lost to Ottke by very narrow margin ( 115-113 twice, 115-115) and despite having another loss ( stoppage on cuts to Trevor Ambrose in 96), he came back to the picture with a clear win over previously undefeated Danilo Haussler ( 120-108, 116-112 twice) and won 4 eight round decisions since... I saw the fight against Vasily Andryianov ( 80-72 scores) and Larsen seems strong but faded, too heavy on his feet and too stationary with his head and body, he doesn't use the 77'' southpaw jab that often... Ross Thompson was the guy Vargas spit on after knocking him down - incredible he's still around. I believe Larsen has very bad chances to pull the upset against another lefty Bute like he did against 5'10'' tall, orthodox Haussler.

 

Robbed??
I honestly thought he lost that fight.. Instead of firing away he was dancing with Ottke. Horrible fight to watch.

 

I was very disappointed with Larsens performance(which is probably due to the fact that Ottke was excellent at ruining peoples offence) - Larsen won the fight. It wasn't a robbery, but it was a theft.

 

That's a good fight... Larsen was very good a few years ago and almost pulled it off vs. Ottke.

However 5 years later, at 35, it seems he doesn't have the power and the same focus anymore... it's a shame he had to stay out of the ring for so long... but it's still a good and a very legitimate fight, Larsen is a good top10 contender.

I think it's gonna be an UD win for Bute, but if after those ring-rust-off fights Larsen can bring his A-game, Lucian better get prepared...

I like both guys and it's a good fight!

 

I'm surprised that there's not more of you thinking Bute can win by KO. He has 18 kos in 22 fights, but still people see him winning by UD.

 

From what I heard Interbox have not even been contacted by Miranda promoter. So no, there are no talks or negotiations between the two camps.

 

I think if Bute is fighting Larsen in Europe it because he have too for a reason...Otherwise, it does'nt make sense that he is not fighting Miranda in Montreal or in the States on Showtime or HBO...

 

sorry only read this page.
i thought you were josey wales decebal with that avatar

is this fight actually in the works then ?

if so good fight, bute will get no credit if this is the case, but that would be wrong.

even at 34 larson is a good solid technician and nobodys fool.

 

oh i see.

surprised this will take place in denmark, would make more sense in canada.

i see reading the first page that american posters are saying who /what/is a larson.

i suppose when i read the next 5 pages many more similar remarks.
