Gave that one to Brinkley as well
67-65 Bute
One thing I've noticed about Bute is that he becomes too focused on landing a perfect body-shot.
For a minute I actually thought Bute might get Brinkley out of there even quicker than Joey Spina.
Bute boxing beautifully. I haven't seen Brinkley lose rounds like this since he faced Anthony Bonsante.
ya i can see that. he's not looking great this fight that's for sure. but it looks more like he's just coasting.Quote:

There's bloody mess................
77-73 Bute
Brinkley looking a bit of a mess here, face covered in blood.
Bute is either carrying Brinkley and just taking his time or his training regime consisted of either HoHo's and watching reruns of Darkwing Duck.
Brinkley's face pretty much sums up the Vancouver Canucks season so far too.
He's coasting and carrying Brinkley. he barely threw a punch till the 3rd and lets off when Brinkley gets hurt. Not making excuses, he shoulda fought hard from the first bell.
And for sure respect to Brinkley for carryin on.
Well Brinkley did better than I expected, even though the result was inevitable
Nice uppercut, maybe people should start looking to nuetralize that. Over to the Tarver fight for me.
Well done Lucian Bute, journeyman fighters two weight classes below you are no match for you.
About as surprising as Balboa v Drago!
Oh well, couldn't go the distance. Hopefully Bute goes for a meaningful bout after this gimme.
Get off your soap box.Quote:

It's hardly a meaningful fight though and Bute is hardly going to find a meaningful fight seeing as all the meaningful fighters are in the super 6. In that regard Bilbo is right, Bute did an okay job against another contender guy. The size difference was ridiculous. I don't know why Brinkley fights at SMW really. Calzaghe got stick for Manfredo, so Bute deserves his stick for not having meaningful fights too.
Bute is possibly very good, but it's hard to tell against these kind of mandatories and Kessler and Pavlik leftovers.
How so? Xadu's posts were a homily to his favourite fighter. Mine are venting about my second most loathed fighter, completely opposite direction, you see?Quote:

Both are one-dimensional trolling. If a new poster came here and did that shit, they would end up banned pretty quickly. I come here to read about and discuss boxing and fighters, not read through a thread which is half made up of trolling.Quote:

Thing is, Brinkley fought his way to earn this title shot, it was his time, his payday. Bute is simply staying busy fighting a mandatory. Bute's options are out of his control right now.Quote:

wtf? I've made a couple of clearly light hearted remarks about him dominating a smaller journeyman fighter who did 'ok' in a reality show.
Are we operating a non criticism of any fighters policy now or is it just because he's the most significant Canadian export since William Shatner?
Tarver is just teeing off on this heavyweight. Damn good shots!
That's the problem with a multiple-year tournament like the Super 6. Bute needs to start fighting the guys who have dropped out though if they become available. I'd also like to see him fight Pascal.Quote:

I've not read through all the threads today, so have a feeling Bilbo might have been winding up people elsewhere, but I haven't seen much trolling in this particular instance.Quote:

Aside from posting how great the Kindle is I've not made any other contributions to the forum this week. I expect Josh has run out of Newcastle Brown Ale.Quote:

Him being Canadian (he's from Romania originally) has nothing to do with anything. All you're doing is posting the same regurgitated garbage which contributes nothing to any conversation about the fight or the fighters involved in order to get a rise out of people. That is the definition of trolling.
Me too, Pascal would be a good fight. Nobody would have any complaints about that.Quote:

I'm just trying to have a laugh with you guys is all. Damn, tough crowd tonight.
Anyways, I'm out, it's nearly 6am here and I want to have a quick tug before I go to bed.
Later my grumpy Canuck friend.
Pascal has really grown on me. I absolutely loathed him after the Miranda fiasco, but he showed a ton of heart vs. Froch and, like Froch, seems willing to fight anyone. At this point I think Pascal-Bute might even be a 50/50 fight.Quote:

Yeah, I wonder why he's even fighting really, he's a decent commentator, but he looks like he's gonna have a heart attack.Quote:

Damn only saw the last 4 rounds. Tarver looked good for 3 of them, but a bit rubbish in that last round.
