Bute vs. Brinkley & Sheika vs. Diaconu: RBR and discussion thread

[MACAQUEINBLACK]

look, if ward had all these skills that he's supposed to have, why a decision with miranda, why hasn't he made come forward fighters look silly.

he's whipped them but not by any dazzling skillset, by strength and a little boxing skill

He did make Miranda look silly.

Who are the come-forward guys you're thinking of?


You already answered your own question re. why a guy like Miranda took him the distance. He lacks power (no featherfist, but no puncher).

Ward is an extremely rounded and versatile fighter, skills-wise, and athletically very good, mentally very good. If you're not convinced of him by now, you will be in due course.

Difficult to tell. Maybe from another angle we could see it land more clearly.

Anyway, good to see Jo Jo Dan come back with a KO win after being robbed in Turkey.

i heard he got robbed but i never saw it

i love these early knockouts, bring on diaconu

i think he's a solid fighter with good skills, AND I like that he's rough.

i'm not sold on him being ranked pfp over bute yet.....i feel that bute has displayed the equalizer, BUT he hasn't fought anyone with speed. through no fault of his own- the only ones with speed and comparable skills are in the super six.

how do you see bute v kessler playing out?

[Walt Liquor]

ward v dirrel would have answered a lot of questions for me....and so will ward vs abe. too bad there's no one out there to ask the right questions of bute for awhile

[The Hammer]

Diaconu-Sheika fight will be on after this one.

Soto owned this guy.

he takes shot like zappivinga

[starjammer]

It's possible it is Kostya. He may be infiltrating his way back into the ranks, adopting a style that will throw people off...and then just when nobody is paying attention...he strikes.
