Bute Camp " We Will Beat Kessler Easier Then We Beat Andrade"

[Jim Jeffries]

Outbox Kessler? True, he did outbox Andrade, but then so has everybody else. Kessler fights from the outside, has very fast hands, exceptional skill and defense, and good to excellant power. Bute is probably slicker than Kessler, but his inside work is poor or non-existant, his power is nothing stellar, and he depends too much on mobility to stay out of trouble. If Andrade had been better at cutting off he ring and cornering Bute, I think he could've gotten his KO a litte earlier.

Don't get me wrong, Bute shows lots of promise, but much of what he has right now is speed and mobility. He needs to more fully develop himself before he takes on someone like Kessler.


I agree that Dirrell/Bute would be an excellant fight, though.

Yeah maybe not. Bute and Arreola are two guys that surprise me in that they have extensive amateur experience, but seem like they still need a lot of work. I was thinking the speed and stance would bother Kessler for a bit, forgetting that Mikkel is a pretty decent starter and was pretty competitive with Calzaghe for the first 4 rounds or so. If Bute thinks he can keep his hands low like that and rely on reflexes against Kessler's jab, he's going to be in for a surprise. Kessler KO, maybe a little earlier than originally thought.

What if Bute beat Kessler easier than Kessler beat Andrade?

Then you'd better get a big ****ing coat, and dust off your bible, 'cause Hell has just frozen over, and Jesus Christ is coming to town.

Yeah, Arreola....I really like the guy, he's exciting to watch, isn't afraid to trade, and packs a decent wallop, but his skill is peaked. I don't think he'll get any better than he is. I firmly believe he'll get a shot at a title soon, but I believe just as firmly that he'll either lose the shot at it, or his first or second defense, get bumped back down the ranks, and become one of the better gatekeepers for the division. Nothing wrong with that, and it should keep him in the ring for several more years, but I honestly don't expect him to amount to much more than a likable and entertaining fighter that we don't have to pay $50 to see fight 4 times a year.

With a bit more stamina Bute can do to Kessler what Joe Calzaghe did to him. He has all the tools to outbox Kessler if he wants to.

If this fight happen i'm betting that KESSLER doesn't stop BUTE at all...

[Dambala]

I wish that fight happens. I like Kessler to beat Bute by late T.K.O. For me the big question is who is going to have the home advantage, Bute seems to stay in Canada forever, and Kessler is not exactly a road warrior.

[Addition]

Bute outbox Kessler? No way. Kessler would KO Bute.

Strangely enough I was just thinking the exact opposite.

[Silencers]

I think Kessler would knock Bute out, would be an interesting fight though.

[AndyShitHot]

Bute won't be getting in the ring with Kessler anytime soon. This is as likely as Berto agreeing to fight Cotto.
