Just wanna see your cards, I saw a lot of funky looking cards in IB's RBR thread so I wanna hear your cards, Johnson was more active at times but had trouble landing. But throughout Bute outskilled him 100%. I had it 119-109 Bute.
119-109. Not flexible. Not negotiable. (unless you make it a shutout instead). Johnson never wins as many rounds as he or most fans think he did. People had Froch-Johnson a draw or Johnson winning. atsch (the official IB score - and therefore correct score - was 116-112 Froch...)
If you have more then 1 even round you likely cannot score a fight is a good rule of thumb. I think this bout confirms Bute is a solid top 2 and some like myself may believe one. But he but Johnson more impressively then Froch. So top 2 now.
I gave Johnson the first and second rounds. Thats all. People acting like Johnson didn't do enough to win those rounds seemed to not notice that Bute barely threw ANY punches in those rounds.
True. Bute threw barely anything in the first several minutes. A couple of right jabs, though. They grazed Johnson. In turn, Glen threw some jabs and some rights to the body. They all missed. Literally. Every single one. Didn't even graze. Missed, outright.
I believe the one round I stretched to give to Johnson was the fifth. Otherwise, he just didn't connect anywhere near enough to even make a CASE for any other round.
i was giving the 1 to jonhson till Bute connect hard in the last 30sec. and Jonhson didn't look solid on his legs when he got back to his corner so i gave Bute the first.
Close but no cigar. Bute was circling away and keeping his gut sucked in. Johnson touched air, nothing else.
