Comments Thread For: Carl Froch: Lucian Bute Will Decision Glen Johnson

[bakunin]

Why do they say Froch win relativly easy ? maybe if we compare it to his win to Dirrell... Cause what i remember was a pretty even fight until the 9th round.

IDK

Bute for all his offensive prowess isn't much cop defensively

Johnson landed some bombs on Froch, if he lands any of those on Bute I think he'll stretch him

[Pullcounter]

I like Glen, but Johnson never had what it took to beat the elite, he just has enough to make it competitive. With his age, I don't think he'll be able to even beat A- or B+ boxers.

It is a decent fight for Bute. Johnson I believe started fading around the 7th round. The age was telling at that point. But he gave Froch a good fight and landed some good right hands.

Bute is the man -- best body puncher in the sport.

Guillermo Rigondeaux disagrees

Boxing scene's resident "original thinker" strikes agin lol.

well... many people say Bute can't knock him out, I believe Glen's style doesn't melt up well with that uppercutt

but thanks for the ''compliment''

Bute-Johnson fight

I like Glen, but Johnson never had what it took to beat the elite, he just has enough to make it competitive. With his age, I don't think he'll be able to even beat A- or B+ boxers.

I agree with what you are saying.Johnson,at the time being,is not able to beat
an elite fighter -in a properly and convincing fashion-only by luck.But he can be
a good barometer for the value scale for the opponents that he will be facing.
I can rank him like being able to beat A- or B+ fighters but never boxers like
Kessler,Froch,Ward (or Bute.)-A or A+.I left Bute the last one because the next Bute-Johson fight will clarify(even in a small amount),where we can be positioned Bute in comparison with the another ones,specially Froch who has
his last opponent.Anyway, IMO, if Froch and Kessler are at the same level: (A+) and Ward has a "+" over them ,it will remain where Bute will be ranked

I actually pretty much agree with Froch's prediction, we'll see how it goes....
