Kessler vs bute??

I'm all for Bute for that fight.

Still, Bute never fought a puncher like Kessler, it'll be interesting to see if Kessler will be able to land something big.

But I think Kessler will have hard time dealing with a out-boxing specialist like Bute. I honestly believe Lucian got the strongest straight of the super-middleweight, and his liver blow is devastating. I wonder how Kessler will deal with this if the fight last for more than 5 round.

Go check Bute-Andrade II. Kessler is to slow for Bute. Bute UD 120-108! - TKO - ko. anything you want. Kessler can't move is feet, Bute will dominate him, that's what i think.

Right and remember Kessler had a tough time dealing with Calzaghe's body shot in the 6th round, I believe.

I was soo convinced that Kess would dominate the SMW div and he would beat Joe and Ward. Something happend to him it was like he lost hunger/desire to fight.

At this stage and the way he has last performed, it kills me to say it but I think "Booty" sparks him out. :(

Are we talking about that Andrades that took the beating of his live from that Kessler? :P (if you didn't check that one, it's almost painful to watch)

I agree. I was pretty sure Kessler would dominate the SMW division before he fought again Calzaghe. I still believe that lost devastated him and his confidence.

Kessler would be his toughest opponent to date. Who compared Kesslers speed to Andrade? Thats ridiculous, you must not have seen Kessler completely dominated Andrade. I'd still favor Bute slightly for his power. As far as speed and boxing ability, I dont think they are that far apart.
