Rumors say Showtime might want Taylor or Dirrell as Bute next opponent.

Bute - Froch would be great.

Bute - Dirrell I really like too - a lot because of styles.

Bute - Taylor? What?... nooooooooooooooo

 

Yes ,and I said that Dirrell could give to Bute some tough moments in the ring due his speed and technique but Bute has better attributes and boxing inteligence , which would provide him (Bute) a victory by decision against Dirrell.

Don't forget that Bute has good speed too.

 

Andre Dirrell had a close fight with Froch . Froch is a slow-opened fighter ; he's like a moving target. I gave that fight to Dirrell but it was a close one.
Q for people who think that Dirrell can beat Bute : What will make you to belive that Andre Dirrell could beat Bute ( which is a qiuck-slick-powerful-smart-southpaw boxer ) ??!

No disrespect for Froch ( he's a great fighter ) & as I said a Bute-Froch fight would have been awesome in every way !

 

First punch. Mark my words. Dre will crumble. If Showtime has ANY, ANY sense at all they'll send Tony in there since he at least has heart.:deal

 

I also worry for Andre's heart, but Bute would have to pressure him to shatter it.

 

They had 8 fighters participate, hence super 8. Green and Johnson were both a part of the tournament.

And yes, he did beat Froch, albeit not clearly. And he was doing amazingly against AA until that exaggerated foul took place.

If you can't see just how good Direll is technically, how gifted he is physically, then it's your problem. He just lacked mental toughness and experience. If he was babied like Ward, he would have won the tournament.

 

Green and Johnson were not super 6.

Neither of them beat an original super 6 fighter.

 

OK, let's put it this way.....two southpaws ALWAYS come together in a fight. ALWAYS. Bute has shown since the first Andrade fight that he is an agrssive fighter. Dirrel has shown since his first and second to last fight that he is a runner......but, SPs cancel each other out. Their jabs would essentially bring them together and into distance.

Dirrel could not so much as flick a jab out there without getting into Lucians range. It's a mismatch if I ever seen one. It is however a fight I want to see b/c I now dislike Dre since he acted like he was the GOAT after Cunningham, while his brother, who is equally talented, but with MASS heart stood there like WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?

We all know Bute is the complete package. He is top 90% speed, top 90% power, top 75% chin,top 90% slickness, top 90% heart, top 80% with the jab, top 100% bodypuncher, and top 100% inside fighter.
Dirrel is the fastest, slickest fighter and in the top 50% in power, and top 100% with his jab. I'm not questioning his abilities whatsoever, but his chin is bottom 30%, and his heart is bottom 10%.
Dirrel does not get up after being exhausted and KD'd vs Andrade after 12 grueling rounds, and I think we all know that one.

Bute would hit him, Bute would hurt him, and Bute WILL KO him.:deal

 

Dirrell doesn't deserve to fight Bute and has no heart. Taylor fought some of the best.

 

I know that. It just seems unfair that they were in that tourney and yet will be discarded by history and fans. I thought Johnson put up a valiant effort.

 

Chitown, you do realize that dirrell can switch from orthodox to southpaw at will and effortlessly, right?

 

Also, Bute isn't very comfortable inside. Rounds 7-10 first Andrade fight.

 

Drozzy,when I asked in a thread for gameplans for your guy to beat Ward,yours was one of the ones I really looked forward to reading.Surely you have a blueprint?:think:good

 

Check. :smoke

 

Got it mate.:good
