Why Did Bute Keep Circling To His Left?

[DLT]

A southpaw is always suppose to circle to his right agaisnt a righty. If he does that then Froch wouldve had a much harder time. Watch Sweet Pea. Bute, like Zab always ends up coming back to his left and he walks right into Froch's power hand. It makes no sense. It was like he was walking right into shots.

I cant believe that so many pro fighters & trainers fall into this trap. Even Berto's idiot trainer. Berto is a righty who has fought a ton of Southpaws and looks vulnerable against them every single time, mostly because his trainer has him going the opposite way.

If they face a Southpaw with a good right hook, the trainer tells Berto to go right even though its not a natural movement. This is why Berto looks like crap and always just throws a shot and then falls in & grabs his opponent because he's out of position.

I even heard Pea talk about Zab before he trained him. He talked about Zab always going the wrong way. Pea said that as great of a fighter as he was, he couldnt even get away with that. If Bute just stays circling right then its a much tougher fight for Froch. He has to cutoff the ring then and it will be still hard to land like he wants.

Instead it was like Bute was helping him out. He didnt have to cutoff the ring. Infact, Bute always came right where he wanted him to. If he goes right then Froch has to reach for him but instead Bute walks right into his strong hand. I dont get it but he'll learn, I guess

All bute has is his left

[Jack Napier]

because he has no other defense than to move
under constant attack, he lacked the poise to think it through
he wasn't in position to try setting up anything
what punches he threw were thrown to protect himself mostly
all he could do was run or die, and he eventually got taken out
thought he'd box better too, but Froch wasn't having it
Bute lacked defense and strength to get Froch off him

Bute got it completely wrong and paid for it by getting knocked out.

He could have done with someone in his corner helping him out.

dude, fought like an amateur, thats the only way to put it. he is another one of them all flash no substance fighters that you will find when combing thru the annals of boxing history. hes not refined at all. and it showed against a world class fighter like froch.

[DLT]

I think it was just a total shell shock experince for him. I think he knew where he was going but still didnt imagine the crowd being like that. Then I think he found out very quickly that it was a real step up in class on top of the crowd. Then he tasted Froch's power and was rattled from then on.

Seemed to panic & buckle on nearly every shot. Even if Froch threw a weak punch, Bute would panic and start holding big time. It was weird. Its like what you see if you throw an inexperinced kid in with a vetran legend 10 years his Senior but that shouldnt have been the case here. Very weird

i see a lot of fighters doing the same ****...i think theyre doing it to be unpredictable...you cant always follow the " should boxing habits" given they are common knowledge to every fighter...

You obviously shouldnt do it 100% of the time but it should always be your base thing. You can switch up to keep guys off guard but its suppose to still be the foundation.

Thats why when you come back left it catches them off guard. It doesnt matter if going right is predictable because its the advantage. Everyone knows that. Its just like saying that you shouldnt throw a million straight rights against a Southpaw or that a Southpaw shouldnt throw a million straight lefts agaisnt a righty because its predictable.

It doesnt matter. That is the advantage punch. Its the highest percentage thing to do. Circling right for a Southpaw against a righty is what youre suppose to do.

Its the same thing for defensive righty's against Southpaws. The fact is that Pac is a killer but when I watched the Pac-Cotto fight and Pac started killing him, I was yelling at my TV for Cotto to just box & circle to his left.

If he does that then its alot harder for Pac to get to him and you saw that over the 2nd half. The same with Pac-Mosley. Mosley got on that bike but he got on that bike circling right all night. The same thing all night and Pac couldnt do nothing but lunge for him.

If Mosley circles left then he's coming right into Pac's left hand and he's in trouble again. Going right makes Pac have to chase & reach

[gapo]

Froch made him do that. It was a smaller ring than bute is used to. Before he can make a step back to start circling to his left, froch can tag him with a little upper cut to the middle and at that point, bute's back is already against the rope.

[MalikKnucklez]

All bute has is his left

Which would give him more reason to circle to his right lol.


Problem is he ain't know his left from his right after Round 2.
