Whats with the Lucian Bute hype? I dont get it at all.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

He beat Andrade.

So what.

He's beaten more than just Andrade.

a Hype? don't think he's a hype (haven't seen too much about him on this forum).

He's a very good fighter one of the top SMW.

Bika? Joppy?


I need to see more of him before I crown him as this elite fighter.

[Zerwas1]

He's good but absolutely overhyped.

It's the fact he knocked out Andrade, although I think there was controversy in their first fight.

Either way, he's a decent fighter but until he's fought a fighter in the Super 6, he's an unknown quantity.

[Siggy]

its a little bit of hype. i just think it has more to do with his attributes as a fighter. hes skilled, crafty, good footwork and can ****.
i dont think hes the best in the division though.
hes fighting guys that are somewhat dangerous, but are just below contender status and are relatively unskilled.
theres a distinct pattern in his opposition: bika, berrio, andrade, zuniga, miranda

[The Gambler1981]

Bika is a pretty good win he is in the mix at the top.

[johncods]

He's no hype at all. He kinda fights like calzaghe fast, clever and has good power and not to mention a southpaw. Easily one of the best SMW today.

Berrio was a decent fighter too. Though you could say he's fighting opponents with the same attributes.

The point is, he's beaten more than just Andrade. I think he's a good offensive southpaw, but I think he has some holes defensively.
