Lucian Bute(BOO-TAY) vs Andre ward in OAKLAND, who takes it???

[Bhopreign]

You people will never learn, for 6 years now Ive been saying Ward will be a superstar, he wont/will not lose to a Lucian Bute. It just aint gonna happen. Get used to Andre Ward.

[1 on 1]

I need to see more of both before I make a decision. But, I'm leaning towards Bute, simply because he's the bigger/taller/powerful guy who is not a statue like some of the bigger guys Ward has fought.

Also, Ward may have difficulty with the southpaw stance, eventhough Ward's kind of a switch hitter, but he's best at being a righty.

You clearly said that the butting didn't occur before round 8. No two ways about it.

Facts are facts and idiots are idiots as you so elegantly put it.

you're just being ****** now
stop embarrassing yourself
I have been talking about the butts that caused the cuts all along and you know it
head contact happen all the time, most of the time to no effect
find something intelligent and worthwhile if you want to nail me that bad

you're still soooooooooo bitter over Kessler's last loss, get over it

your idol will give you a great ko win this saturday maybe you will let go a bit

i've got a feeling i may be a believer in ward after this tourny, but not just yet. i was never sold on kessler personally and that's ward's best win.

LOL

You have yet to come up with an opinion above D+.

Man, you are pathetic. You've gone and got offended because I don't think your favourite fighter has proved that much yet. This is a discussion board and people are not always going to agree with you. If you disagree with what I say, why not try and debate with me instead of being a ****ing child?

Who on Bute's resume is above C-level?

Bika? A tough gatekeeper at best.
Berrio? A solid beltholder and no more.
Joppy? B-level in his prime, far past it when he faced Bute.
Andrade? A tough contender at best and a tough contender at best who can justifiably claim he was robbed of a knockout in the first fight.
Zuniga? A tough and wild gatekeeper at best.
Miranda? A tough and wild gatekeeper at best.

Bute is a real talent and I think he'd have an extremely good chance of beating anyone else at super-middleweight, but he hasn't proven very much yet.
