3 matches for Bute in 2011

Bute/Pavlik is not close to done, and I do not think it will happen. Just yesterday Cameron Dunkin told Dan Rafeal that Pavlik's first choice after Vera is Sergio Martinez. It does not matter what you or I think, and what Bute wants is irrelevant. Kelly Pavlik believes he lost to Martinez for all the wrong reasons, and he wants revenge. Of course, everything depends on the weight. Pavlik started camp lighter than he has in years, and was already down to 168 a couple weeks ago. I personally would not want to be in the ring with a focused, determined, healthy, revenge hunting Pavlik! I really have no idea how this will all turn out. I guess we'll have to "weight" and see.

Brinkley was defense minded and was moving his head, that's why anyway, Bute knocked him out 3 times in one fight he knocked him down 3 times anyway brinkley got up two times which is more often than miranda or andrade were getting up... the kid was fighting on pure heart

Pavlik aint that much better an opponent. He just has name value

I wouldn't say Miranda is shot. He's just a very limited fighter who's lost against every top opponent he's faced. That doesn't mean he isn't a dangerous guy though. As for Andrade, yes I agree he's no great shakes, but due to the controversy of the first fight it was a rematch Bute had to take, to silence the critics. Many people thought he wouldn't take it, but he did, and won in emphatic fashion. It was a great performance. I don't know much about Brinkley, so I won't comment on that. miranda at middleweight was a beast man...a freakin beast unreal punching power and effective pressure were his traits...he is definitely not the same fighter that broke abraham's jaw dont remember many people thinking andrade could take it...some felt he had a punchers chance but then again no one expected him to go down let alone knocked out by bute.. its suprising brinkley actually did better than miranda and andrade against bute, two fighters who were at some time regarded as major prospects with big promotional companies behind them. brinkley actually won a couple of rounds against bute by using his jab...miranda and andrade didnt win a single round IMO. brinkley also hasnt faced nearly as good opposition

miranda is shot to bits...everybody was picking bute to KO him in the first 5 rounds including me...and what happens...miranda taunts bute to hit him flush suggesting he cant hurt him and gets kayoed 30 secs after that...:pat: andrade lost every round against bute in their first fight but had him seriously hurt in the last...that was a win for andrade...KOing andrade is admirable sure but andrade isnt a good fighter by any means. his best win was stieglitz who should praise heaven and jesus for ever winning a world title theres simply no one for bute to fight until the super six ends so moving up really isnt a bad idea I wouldn't say Miranda is shot.

Neither Andrade nor Miranda were lousy opponents. Miranda is always a very tough and dangerous guy and people were screaming for the Andrade rematch after the controvery of the first fight, which Bute erased with the first stoppage of Andrade's career. You can say he should have challenged Pascal after the Dawson fight but, meh, I think that fights definitely going to happen sometime down the line. The demand for it is simply too big. miranda is shot to bits...everybody was picking bute to KO him in the first 5 rounds including me...and what happens...miranda taunts bute to hit him flush suggesting he cant hurt him and gets kayoed 30 secs after that...:pat: andrade lost every round against bute in their first fight but had him seriously hurt in the last...that was a win for andrade...KOing andrade is admirable sure but andrade isnt a good fighter by any means. his best win was stieglitz who should praise heaven and jesus for ever winning a world title theres simply no one for bute to fight until the super six ends so moving up really isnt a bad idea

man bute had some lousy opponents this year (not entirely his fault though) andrade, miranda and brinkley... if he secures pavlik for next year bute will finally get the chance to prove himself
