    No, but I think Andre would have gotten Bute out of there later in the fight, but for different reasons.

    Bute would have been exhausted against Ward, missing often and getting physically roughed up (rather than brutally beat up). Ward has underrated power, and that power would be amplified when Bute tired.

    Ward, I think, probably would have stopped Bute in around 10 or so rounds. It is also possible that Ward may not have stopped Bute at all, but I think Andre would have gotten him out of there eventually.

    No, but he clearly would've exposed Bute inside, handcuffed him and beat him with relative ease.

    Styles make fights. Bute's power would be more jarring to Ward than it would Frochy IMO.

    Froch isn't a big puncher, but Ward has no power whatsoever.

    Yes because Bute would not be able take the punishment Ward would dish out.

    No because that's not how ward fights. It would be as one sided as the froch v ward fight tho.

    Nope, If it was Ward fighting Bute it would have gone 12 rounds with him picking up a comprehensive points victory.
