The Middleweight Sandwich; More than Meats the Eye

[D-NOTE]

well Heartattack,.. I hear ya,.. but I think Bute is the weakest link at 168,.. not that I'm a Lacy fan,.. but I'm sure he could stop Andrade,.. Bute either has stamina issues or difficulty making weight. he literally died after 11 and a half rounds of fighting a mediocre guy who hardly touched him untill the end.

IMHO Andrade beats Lacy easy. Bute-Lacy may be interesting. Lacy tends to start faster than Andrade and I think the problem with Bute may be his heart. He has the skills but i'm not sure how much he wants to fight when things get tough. Lacy is a persistent SOB he never stops fighting. Could give Bute problems.

Bute is by no means the weak link talent-wise. The weak link there is Edison Miranda, Peter Mandfredo Jr, and Danilo Haussler. When that is yout "weak-link" in talent. Then your division is doing pretty good. Those guys are on the same level as Khoren Gevor, and he is the 4th best middleweight out there.

Gennady Golovkin is one of the most talented middleweights, but he's being poorly managed by Universum.

Heartattack,.. when Bute get's in with some real competition,.. then you'll know how good he is,.. I believe he'll fail the test,.. Bute won't get within 50 yards of Kessler, Taylor, Ward or even Carl Froch.. Watch and see who they dig up for his next fight !!

There's some good fighters in the MW divisions, just not a lotta names. If they're matched right there can be some good fights. I think 168 is hotter than 160 or 154 for now. There's some excitin brawls that can come outta SMW. I wanna see Andrade get anotha crack at Bute most of all cuz that **** was wrong. Kessler is probably the most talented guy there, but he's a ****in waste.

Gennady Golovkin is one of the most talented middleweights, but he's being poorly managed by Universum.

I have heard his name several times but have yet to see any video on him. By chance do you know where I could find some?

I can't get the Dirrell Curtis Stevens fight out of my head. I think a lot of people can't.

Just thought I'd say that.


Pretty good article, but the title and analogy could've been better but you know your stuff for sure.

i think the mw divison is the most exciting, its a combination of speed and power. maybe it doesnt have the biggest names right now but give it a few years and itll be the talk of the industry. i also feel like bute needs to give andrade a rematch, that fight was bulls**t, that s**t wouldnt of happened over here in the us, andrade is a beast, so is his bro, i actually work with his bro and hes from my gym, we share the same trainer, him and andrade are both class acts. in fact i think rubio should give enrique a rematch as well, maybe im biased but i though ornales won that fight as well, guess october was a bad month for that family

bute has some skill. he probably won't beat taylor or dirrell though.

Not only he doesn't know where Calzaghe lives, he's clearly never seen Froch fight.
