Lucian Bute vs. Andre Ward

[dc6112]

These guys are pretty much at the top of 168 right now. I don't know enough about either to make a choice, although I have been thoroughly impressed by Bute's speed and power. Ward shut out Kessler, so he must be pretty good too.
Explain your pick if you know enough about both guys, please. I'm curious.

I got Ward by decision. They're both quick, Bute is the bigger hitter but I think Ward is the better boxer. Ward is more technical sound IMO.

[Mighty_Windir]

Ward KO or decision.

Ward beats him. Butes claim to fame is beating the Margarito of the 168 Pound division by lucky body shot. Ward is a whole different beast. He can time and counter Bute and even beat him to the punch at times.

I dont see Bute beating a guy that physical , with that kind of speed. It would be a GREAT fight for fans of the SWEET SCIENCE though they both have great skills.
