Will Lucian Bute be the 2nd guy to knock Johnson out?

[erics44]

I can surely see a KO for Bute here. I put a few $$ on it also. Johnson is getting older and Bute is a big puncher . Altough a UD seems more probable , I wouldnt count a Ko out for Bute.

Hey, if Johnson catches Bute with a big shot, he can get the KO

but, i'm saying Bute UD

that isnt a great bet mate

there is more chance of johnson winning the fight than bute winning by KO

in order of chances of stuff happening in this fight i would say

1st Bute on points
2nd Johnson by KO
3rd Johnson on points
4th Bute by KO

id say 1st is a long distance from 2nd and 4th is a long distance from 3rd

in fact these two could fight 100 times and 70 of them Bute would win on points, 20 of them Johnson by KO and 10 of them johnson on points, Bute by KO is never gonna happen

Bute won't stop Johnson and I agree as has been suggested that Bute is well overrated. He hasn't really beaten anyone who wasn't mediocre or is decent but hasn't been duffed up already.

[Mctaggert]

agreed we'll see what he's made of, I don't think he's as good as people think.

Ward would probably school Bute.

Dirrell would as well, if he'd ever fight again.

Bute is pretty good, I don't know who would win between him and Froch. Carl seems to have a bit more guts and stamina though. Not quite as talented as Bute.

I think Johnson is a live underdog, but not as live as I felt he was against Froch or others in recent years.

There is no doubt Johnson is hurt a bit by the weight and age is catching up to the gladiator.

Hulk, why do you think dirrell and ward woulf beat up on bute but froch wouldnt?


Is it a styles thing?

SPEED.

They are faster than Bute.

But, Froch is not.

Bute thrives when he is faster than the opponent, I think he would be befuddled by the movement of Ward or Dirrell.

[erics44]

Maybe maybe not


I agree in a way bute might have more success with froch

Personally i think his best chance out of the three would be ward, i think ward is easier to catch than dirrell and not as tough as froch
