Bute is really underrated

[Dirk Diggler UK]

What was he supposed to do? Fight bums on showtime? All of the top guys were tied up into a tourney he wasn't invited to.

He never had any intention of being in it.

Critical thinking. You should try it.

Biased irrational thinking. You should try it.

Fixed it up for ya.

I'll go with what Showtime execs had to say over what you think. Thanks

hard to underate a guy who's best win was vs GJohnson. Any quality 168lber would have KOed him in that 12th vs Andrade. His team offered Kessler peanuts to come to Canada for a fight. Froch might come to Canada for a fight to make 350k while Bute makes 1.2 mil but Ward sure as hell ain't gonna. Bute might actually be a good fighter, but to call him underated at this point is a joke

[Prince Mongo]

Bute is a very good fighter but it is difficult to rate him as he has not been in with top draw opposition. See

He needs to fight a Froch,Ward, Dirrell, Kesler or a Pascal to see how good he is.

He got knocked down by Andrade, and beat the count.

when a guy gets dropped the ref is supposed to pick up the official time of the knockdown in seconds from the knockdown timekeeper

if you count ten seconds after the knockdown bute is still reeling on the ropes like a drunk

by definition of the rules he's unable to continue and should be considered knocked out


bute should have a loss to andrade on his record


that being said, he's lightyears beyond the fighter he used to be these days and his rematch with andrade showed that

Of course they were going to say that. They weren't going to say "he rejected us for HBO, catch him on there!".

Bute can sell a bunch of tickets fighting bums at home. His people wanted to milk that. Especially after he almost got knocked out by Andrade.

They had their fighters picked out way before Bute went to HBO. You're not making sense.
