Who wins? Abraham vs bute

**Dropanuke** · 07-30-2012 11:00 PM

I reckon Abraham would bust bute up, trouble is like most fighters that open up bute just hits them with an uppercut and it's over.
I think there was a moment where bute uppercut froch hard in the chest/stomach flush and froch grinned and put his hands down wanting another but harder

Yeah Bute has the tools hes a talented fighter, but I really do believe Froch has shown any fighter that they can hurt Bute and put him down. For Bute he is going to have to adjust if he wants to succeed at the top, hes like Amir Khan, has bags of talent but at the highest level he can get caught, and if he dont have a chin you might be a good fighter, but you will never be an elite fighter.

I don't think butes chin is bad and is good enough to be an elite fighter I mean its not like froch landed one and bute was gone, he ate some solid punches over five rounds. He needs to adjust his style tho to not take so many, and to adjust when someone is just walking thru his like froch did...

You could tell he was really hurting though when he was taking the punches , he really did slow down and by the 5th round he was taking far too much leather. You can say the same for Khan though, because he did get back up and fought on after that big left hook. But as soon as a big punch landed like the Bute-Froch fight, it was pretty clear who the victor was going to be in both fights.

Agreed and both have a ton of heart especially khand, and I hope they adjust and come back strong, but I do think khans chin is more shakey.

That pretty much nail is. Froch deserves full credit for the win but Bute really lost the plot. He even looked weird for the ring walk and completely overwhelmed by the moment and the boxing crazy Brits. That is his biggest problem imo and if he hopes to regain lost glory then its imperative that he learns to cope with fighting outside Quebec. No way did they train to fight Carl in a phone booth. Froch owns that land and yet that's exactly what he did. I just hope he learned something from it like a true champion should.
