Now that this fight is almost a done deal, most people are inclined to believe that Bute is going to beat KP some even go as far to say he will get stopped. However if this bout had taken place a few years ago, would bute be able to cope with an onslaught from the ghost? I for one think this would have been a very competitive and even fight, not to sure now though i get the feeling team pavlik are trying to cash in.
It may be that Top Rank has thrown in the towel on Pavlik and are prepared to throwing him to the digs without a reasonable tune up or two since the rehab. Couple this with Pavlik's "management and trainer" who are not the brightest lightbulbs in the drawer and Kelly is a goner.
True. Pavlik was the man but after losing two fights the way he did... its no wonder they would sacrifice him. Its a win win. Arum makes money if Pavlik loses and Arum will make more money if he wins.
i'll take Bute UD win. with the awkord punches of Bute, he can also KO Pav , but chanses are slim as Pav used to be very durable.
Does Pavlik has a good.......liver ? Because against Bute you need a good liver. Who actually has a good liver......????
kelly pavlik put knockouts on guys who had never been stopped on his way to a title shot with the legit kingpin of the division...then he had to fight miranda despite already fighting a title eliminator, knocked him out despite edison never having been stopped prior and then left the champion in a corner for dead. bute is a very talented guy and has the tools to be special but he's never done anything like that. you are a hater and you can go **** yourself.
Bute would be the favorite even in Kelly's prime decision or KO. But Pavlik can always knock someone out with one punch. And Bute doesn't have the best chin in the business. I think that's his main flaw. With a chin like Andrade, Bute would be a hard to beat mother****er.
Bute stinks. Pavlik ko's him within 7, probably within 5. Bute lost to Andrade, nothing more needs to be said.
Except the fact that you don't know anything about boxing A left uppercut of Bute to your liver would help your knowledge
naaahhh... Bute will never be as careles again...that almost defeat tought him a lesson. He became a better fighter after that---->> Bute vs Andrade 2
