You can't be serious? Green will KO Bute and he won't wait till the end of the fight like Andrade did. I pity the fool..... Good to see him back, this divison should watch out!
Bute KO 10 Green will probably be one of the skilliest fighter Bute face in his career but we can say the same thing around! Green had trouble in the past with southpaw (Linton and Daniels) and their nothing like Bute.
Very dangerous fight for both guy. Green is a hard puncher and have a good accuracy but he's a little bit wide with his shot and seem to have a fragile chin and got a poor defensive skill. Bute is a good puncher with a great accuracy and is very sharp with his punches. He also got a very tight defense and his chin is questionnable but has been floored only once and it was more a stamina issue. Green have been floored at least 3 or 4 times by different level of opposition like McRary and Miranda. I reallly think Bute work rate and counter-punching skill will be enough to outbox Green or maybe TKO him late in the fight, Green will be dangerous all night long but will probably fade. Green has more than a punchers chance but his lack of ring control and work rate is what will make the difference, he has gone the distance with guy like Ted Muller, the same Ted has been knocked in 9 by Manfredo and in 2 by Andrade. If Bute can survive the inital storm, Green, who dont seem at his ease with southpaw, will be in trouble. This will be a very good fight for the fans.
I always felt that Green was the most skilled and dangerous Supermiddleweight. But when he fought Miranda, he seem scared to death. I understand that he had stomach surgery, but that didn't seem like his problem. Hope its not true, but I'm thinking that he doesn't have the heart to take him to the top and remain there.
Bute's gonna school him but I like Green better so I'm cheering for green KO. but truly I think late tko for Bute or wide UD.
Like I said in another tread. Even tho I'm not sure Green would beat Andrade or Bika. It's obvious he will be the most talented and skilled fighter Bute has ever fought. Bute fought some really tough fighters in Andrade, Bika and Berrio. They brought some really hard stuff to deal with in the ring. Punching power, pressure, awkwardness, great chins (Andrade/Bika). All 3 of them also fought and beat much better opposition then Green has so far in his career. But Green brings something entirely different to the table. Which is excellent for Bute's developpement. He has good technique, speed and power. He has a good jab and an excellent left hook. Should be a good fight and I'm already looking forward to the trash talking leading up to the fight.
Green footwork is not good enough to keep him out of trouble. Green is not very difficult to read so Bute will adapt very rapidly to his style. Green has trouble with southpaws and doesn't have the greatest chin. His workrate is not beyond average. Bute is too fast for Green and is very hungry since the 12th round against Andrade. Bute's footwork is improving a little at each fight and his head movement too. Green nearly wont touch Bute of the fight. Bute before the end of the 6th.
