    Who wins this one? I was very impressed with Bute tonight,but I was also impressed with Ward,I think these guys are the 2 best SM even have them above Abraham. This is a pretty even matchup in my opinion but Im leaning towards Ward:think What are your thoughts?

    Bute by knockout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ward will have a very difficult landing his head on Bute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, Ward will only fight within his home town and would never allow Bute to fight in the tournament!

    I was impressed by Bute's victory, but beating Andrade via KO is nowhere in the same realm as Andre Ward completely dominating Mikel Kessler. From what I have seen out of both of them I believe Ward would outbox Bute and avoid serious punches. I dont think Ward would dominate Bute, it would be a very good fight to watch but I see Ward getting the W in the end. I voted for a Ward decision but there is a huge possibility he would win by stoppage.

    However, I will say Bute is the real deal. He just needs to start fighting ranked Americans now so we can see truly how good he is.

    Knocking out Andrade was very impressive many people thought he had the best Chin in boxing. I know he isnt the most talented guy but hes got Heart,Power,and a great Chin. Even though he was stopped it was the body shot that got him,the punch was on the button and he didnt see it coming but he wasnt that hurt from the head shot.

    The hook to the chin was also right on the button. He dropped right away. His knees gave out from under him.

    But Andrade has a great chin so he got right up.

    There was no coming back from the body shot tho.

    :think

    The majority of the best SMW are europeans like Abraham , Kessler, Froch Balsay, Inkin or Stieglitz.

    I think Ward would bamboozle most supermiddles, i dont think he would be there to get hit by Butes body shots

    Huh... Librado Andrade is American and he is ranked top5 by The Ring (Top3 when they fought the first time).

    I know you meant he should fight guys like Ward and Dirrell. :D ;)
