good chin + punching power = natural boxer

Bute is good, but he lacks the chin.

What a pathetic excuse of a fight.

Bootay, you're a disgrace to this sport.

WealthTV is becoming quite the player when it comes to televised boxing. It's too bad I don't get their channel.

I disagree with this. Bute is coming off his first professional loss. And one that he lost by (pretty brutal) TKO at that. He immediately took the rematch, but wants a tune-up fight beforehand. For his tune-up, he takes on a young, undefeated fighter, rough around the edges yes, but coming off of the biggest win of his career against a prospect we all knew and held in fairly high regard around here. Grachev has youth, confidence, and an undefeated record. To me, this is a very respectable tuneup. I think Bute deserves some credit for trying to redeem himself. I don't see how you can call his latest career moves a disgrace, whatsoever.

Bute is a good fighter, he has a neat uppercut but his chin is glassy. Froch had the perfect strategy in that fight. I remember how Froch was the underdog, almost everyone thought Bute would win, the bets were in favor for Bute and i remember how angry Froch was for that. Froch just stepped in the ring and destroyed him. Bute is good, Froch is just better.
