Kelly never has the best of times with slick boxers. Martinez outboxed him, as did Hopkins, and Southpaw Bronco Mckart even dropped him early on.
Bute is just as slick as Martinez, but bigger and punchers harder. This is just a hoirrible style match up for Kelly imo.
After he beats Vera, if he wants to stay at 168lb he should look for fight with the likes of Librado Andrade, Carl Froch, Arthur Abraham, Robert Stieglitz & Allan Green.
Fighters who aren't slick boxers, and are fairly easy to hit. A defeat by Bute would just lower his confidence even more.
They should keep Pavlik away from him imo. Unless they want Kelly to have another loss on his record.
