*Mikkel Kessler vs Lucian Bute*

Maybe the winner of a Bute vs Pavlik fight could face the winner of the super six.

 

at this poll.

I'd take Bute at those odds, even though I would favour Kessler by a comfortable margin.

 

I have always been impressed with Kessler. He dominated prior to the Calzaghe fight. In the fight against Joe i had it close or even midway through before a Joe takeover. I do remember him breaking a hand though. That's if I remember properly and he was landing bombs early. Bute is a surprise to me. Gets better and better. They have similar results against andrade. Bute is fast like Calzaghe but he is not the same. I think Kessler wins but it would be interesting for a while.

 

It's funny, considering the fact there are more people thinking Ward could win against Kessler. Bute-Kessler would not be an easy fight for Kessler. A fast southpaw, moving well and abel to adjust in the ring is bad for Kessler. Hopefully, we'll see in two years.

 

Kessler by KO or wide UD.

 

What if Andrade beats Bute? :deal

 

Kessler by decision, but Bute is an excellent fighter with a highly skilled, slick style, LHW size, one-punch knockout power and great finishing skills, he'd be a nightmare for most of the Super Six fighters.

I'd only pick Kessler for sure over him, Dirrell and Ward still have to prove they are world class fighters, Abraham would be at a huge size disadvantage and Bute would break down Froch, ignore what others say. Easy fight for him. But Lucian may trouble Mikkel too, he's one of the best body punchers in the game and Kessler was clearly hurt by Calzaghe body shots. Due to Bute's style and speed, I think he's capable of landing some blows there, how effective he'd be is the big question.

 

I think Kessler is the best in the division.I know he comes in at straight lines,but he's a very good boxer with a good jab and power and an iron jaw.Bute dominated a boxer with less talent in Andrade until he came back and almost knocked him out.I believe Mikkel knocks him out.
