Apparently on a Romainian TV interview post fight Bute said he injured his hand in the 9th round. He didn't go after Johnson pressing for a stoppage like i was hoping and if he injured his hand that might be why. I also wonder if them being friends may have played a factor too. Anyways Bute is elite anyone saying otherwise is crazy.

Bute is good for sure. Johnson definitely injured his right elbow during the fight. At the end, his right elbow was at least twice the size of his left one. He popped the ligament on the inside of the elbow.....not good

...and he still easily won every round.

Lucian Bute is the best super middleweight in the world.

I did think he applied more pressure in the second part of the fight and tried to get Glen out of there.Even in the 12th.

But he had the fight won,it was no point in getting exposed.

I thought he actually put up more of an effort to get Glen Johnson out of there in the last couple of rounds. It just wasn't happening. Johnson also said that he hurt his hand although that might be just to convince himself that he still has it.
