Lucian Bute

[Kev]

The first Andrade fight was tough and physically taxing...I just don't think Bute was prepared for it...I mean who is prepared for a guy who you hit hit hit and keeps coming?......

Bute is not Glass jawed and I agree the big question on him is stamina...But Stamina is easily fixable...Just more cardio in the gym

You reckon? Jermain Taylor, Cory Spinks, and even Oscar De La Hoya never solved that problem.

I think he's a good fighter, I just don't think he's physically able to hang with the most durable guys. Maybe in this modern age of 12 rounders, he will be less likely to get found out. But can you imagine him going 15 rounds with the likes of Ward, Froch and Abraham if the heat got turned up?

His best chances of winning fights against top fighters will always be early, I think the last three rounds or so could test him.

You never heard of them bringing in conditioning coaches either?....I mean there have been guys in the past who have had similar problems and overcame them...Especially Hwts....

You could be right he may not be able to get that stamina...But not as if he just slumps either...Think about the first Andrade fight that was taxing....

I don't see Froch as being a problem for him in that dept...AA yes due to the fact the guy gets stronger as fights go on....Ward though he beat Kessler handily is not confirmed to be all he is made out yet....He beat Miranda handily but he had some issues....inexperience mostly..

I think this guy is legit...Like you said in your other post if you turn out right then you post with Glee....Your not the only one who has that strategy

Indeed we all do it, but I think we should be honest about it. When Nonito and Bute lose I will spam the boards with 'I told you!!!' type thread, meanwhile every win they have no matter the opposition will be meaningless to me.

Basically, for the true internet warrior, unless a figher retires undefeated he was a bum. Of course if he does retire with his 0 intact, it's just becuase he never fought anybody.
