Please explain. I see alot of weakness in bute that martinez can exploit, that and he moves alot making him tired in later rounds So who you got
I think there is no choice on the weight...it would be 168...it is already hard for Bute to make 168, so I wouldn't consider 160, he just CAN'T do it....but I see Bute winning on counter punching...Martinez has gained WAY to much confidence and is now too bold...Bute would catch him all night with his right upjab and his left hook to the body... And when martinez will realize it's time to change plans, it will be to late, his right ribs will hurt him as hell and he would probably be swollen under the left eyes.... There is also a power issue...Martinez is a strong puncher at 154...but not a heavy one at 160, so let alone 168, he can't hurt Bute at that weight...Bute is a strong puncher at 168 and 175, he can hurt almost anyone at these weight, so a natural 154lbs fighter ? I think the questions awnsers itself... Still, it would be a great fight, with both fighters dispalying great stuff and champions hearts !!!
You must have missed his last 2 fights at mw lol. I think you giving Bute way too much credit. Imo even though Bute is a bigger, stronger fighter, he doesn't have the slick skills that Martinez brings. Martinez confident is way to high in which he's improving more of his punching power in which now he's throwing those punches with full force. At 168 pounds will be small for Martinez but i really could see him beating Bute. Bute is very good and got good skills but he's still gets hit alot and has proven he got a weak chin and his stamina is bad in the late rounds (Watch his first fight vs Andrade)
Bute KO. He'll eventually catch Martinez coming in all wild with that vicious upper cut of his. Bute will probably have a 10 lb advantage come fight night.
