Grachev won at least 8 rounds, how the F did Bute get the W?

8 rounds? Crazy talk, sir. I must respectfully disagree, and I am NO Bute fan. I think I gave Grachev 4. Grachev did well. His pressure was more than Bute was comfortable with, and despite all that movement from Bute, he was still getting hit. In many of the rounds Grachev landed some good punches, but he didn't throw or land enough to take the rounds. No way. Especially in the championship rounds, where he was way more tentative about trying to keep Lucian on the ropes when he got him there. Grachev's face was fine but Butes punches made him think twice in the second half of the fight. I think a lot of peoples scoring was influenced by Lucian going back and having his face beat up, but far more often than not he was landing more and better punches. I feel even a draw would have been a robbery, Bute clearly won the fight. Grachev jsut busted him up and made him look like **** in the process. I disagree. I felt Grachev won it. Bute didnt win a lot of rounds, thats just how I saw it. If you tell me which rounds you scored for Bute, I will re-watch them and re-score them.

I had Bute by 2rnds in the end... Grachev was coming forward but hitting air and arms in the latter part of the fight. Bute had the cleaner work..

I had Bute 9-3. Grachev's work was mostly ineffective, sans those reaching rights he landed. Bute's straight left and uppercut were landing crisp

both fighters looked second rate, it was a close fight but i think the cleaner snappier punching of Bute probably edged it for him. Not sure where Grachev learned to punch but he looked weak in there, maybe weightdrained?

I had Bute up 2 rounds...

I agree. I also thought Grachev won most of the rounds. when you look at the last 5 rounds, Bute only won the last one really. other than that Grachev edged the rounds in my opinion. I remember I saw in the last rounds that the dude scoring from the commentator team was giving all the last rounds to Bute while I thought Grachev won all of them, except the last round

i wouldn't say grachev won it easily. it was close and sloppy. got no problem with either fighter winning it although the cards were stupid. i personally have it a draw.
