Is Bute Overrated?

[-Boxzilla-]

He might be able to beat Kessler one day, but right now he is still learning on the job. I don't get this topic, can someone please tell me who has overrated Bute?

at ur sig ... ya its true theres no one overrating him, everyone knows he still has a lot to prove ... i really like his balance hand/foot speed that all i gotta say ...

I have watched lucian bute and it seems he does well against averge to mediocre competition, but against good quailty to elite opposition he struggles?...is it just me or is he a bit overrated?

I dont get it. Who is overrating Bute? i dont see anyone talking him up at all. He hardly gets a mention on NSB imo. Overrated is what Williams and Kessler are, not so much Bute.

He was almost knocked out by a guy Mikkel Kessler virtually shut out, so yeah he is a little overrated

Bute pretty much did a re-hash on what Kessler did until the final round where he got sparked on his ass. Bute is still young though, he has had less fights then Kessler which means Kessler had the experience level when going against Andrade. Bute did not...

Bute is underrated

He has a good resume, dominant wins over Sakio Bika, Fulgencio Zuniga, Librado Andrade, Alejandro Berrio, etc..

His last fight was very impressive. Zuniga had never been knocked down in his career. Kelly Pavlik couldn't even put him down....Bute destroyed Zuniga in just 4 rounds!!

I hope Bute gets the rematch against Andrade. People seem to forget that Bute was completely dominating Andrade until he ran out of gas....he won't make the same mistake again, he will easily beat Andrade in the rematch, it will be a shutout UD 120-108.

Bute looks good, but that last fight was a joke. The guy may have been a good fighter(Zuniga) but he obviously can't handle a fighter who attacks with speed and angles which is not what Kelly does.

That being said, Bute definitely was tagging Andrade up pretty badly the entire fight; however I must say that the end of that fight was kinda questionable...I mean he had till like the count of 20 or so to get up as the ref walked Andrade back to the corner. That's not Bute's fault of course but the fight was in Montreal his backyard; just makes me wonder if that kinda thing has ever happened in any of his other fights as well.

I hope he fights Kessler, should be good...I got Kessler though!

Kessler fought Librado Andrade on his 39th professional bout(experience)

Bute fought Andrade on his 23rd.

I don't want bute to fight kessler right now, because Kessler would win. Bute needs more experience still.

[MELLY-MEL...]

good fighter, not as good as some claim, but i feel he is far to protected, and will not be happy with him till he rematches andrade. which btw, should have been his very next fight after the bs win he got.

Andrade was also more experienced against Bute than when he fought Kessler. If only Bute had put his knee down when he gassed out, nobody would be talking about that now and Bute would be nearly as good as Kessler in everyone's opinion.

Anyway, I hoe Andrade beats Tsypko on April 4th

Bute looked great in his last fight,but,he only fights at home and the win over Andrade was clearly a home town decision!!Some fighters need to get that 1 L,so they can get on with their march to greatness,against Andrade he won 11 rounds but at the same time,Andrade lost 11 rounds and should have gotten a fair shake when he did produce offence!!Can anyone imagine being clobbered for 11 rounds straight,then not getting an appropriate decision,if the ref played it fair bute may have still won and it wouldnt look so bad!!

Tsypko is a good fighter, he looked technically sound against lacy. He can outbox Andrade and win a decision. This fight is important for both careers. Who ever loses this fight will suffer badly...
