Comments Thread For: Andre Dirrell: I Want Lucian Bute, He's a Protected Fighter

Says the man who faked an injury to avoid Ward

You can't be a guy...no way...

You mean run in an enclosed square where his opponent should know how to box well enough to cut off the ring. Seemed like Dirrell was potshotting his behind all night too what fight were you watching? Dirrell needs to work on closing out fights better, he lets his guard down when he gets tired.

I think he means runs as in he moves and until someone gets close then he goes to his knees as if he's about to give some head.

No jurisdiction, including Montreal and Detroit respectively, should allow Dirrell the opportunity to fight for a 12 round world title this soon after he cried wolf on the psychological head trauma thing. Dirrell needs to be put on ice and constrained to 8 or 10 rd fights like the Friday Night Fights variety, and then after putting some rounds and work in then he can challenge for a world strap...preferably after 3 or 4 non-title fights. Basically we need to see how bad the kid wants a shot at redeeming his tarnished name vs. giving him a golden parachute to drop immediately back onto the biggest stage(s).

I think there's only a selected few that see Dirrel as a coward after the Abraham fight. That was a solid shot from a solid puncher in Abraham. I don't think Dirrel was faking.

I think Dirrel showed great mental toughness coming off a loss against Froch (thought Dirrel won), to handle the undefeated AA the way he did.

I honestly feel Dirrel beats Bute.

As I said before, Dirrell is a very talented fighter, great skills, good power...but he is just mentally weak. I have mentioned the Froch and Abraham examples before...his mind/heart are just questionable. Could he beat Bute? Sure. Will he? Not so sure. As "protected" as people say Bute is...or he has only fought B level fighters, etc....one thing is certain...that left hand of his. I don't care who you put in the ring with him, that is always the X factor. That will always be the possible game changer in any of his fights...and that is REAL, not hype. Could Ward, Froch, Dirrell beat Bute? Yes, whoever is better on any of those nights will win. Ward and Dirrell are more skilled, Froch is tougher...but Bute is the only SMW who really has 1 punch stopping power (well other than Abraham but he is about done now). I am not saying Bute has not been totally protected, I am sure he has to a certain extent, especially with only fighting in Quebec basically. However any opponent that gets in the ring with Bute better be wary of that left hook/uppercut, it is a hard shot and its sneaky as hell lol.

Going into the tourny, AA had that same one shot power that you're talking about with Bute. But we see where that got him.

Based on Bute's mid-level competition, he's shown great power and potential. We just have to see how it carries over when he steps his game up.

I honestly feel Dirrel beats Bute.

Heck, I thought Dirrel beat Froch and was dominating AA, though AA was making a late push.

Dirrel is very solid in my book. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back in this next fight.

Do these guys ****ing realize Bute was not invited to the Super Six, even after Tayler was dropped out?

Its not like he chose not to be in the tournament.
