    Ward either ud's him easily, or stops him late. I picked the ud because Ward isn't a ko artist. But Bute does have tin can chin, so you never know.

      Later, but only because of stylistic differences.

        Ward let Carl steal his thunder by not fighting Bute.

        That could have been Ward beating another unbeaten champion and only other threat in the division. He could have looked great if it was a landslide decision too but he chose not to fight Bute so he has sen that golden opportunity disappear forever. He couldnt have stopped Bute but I imagine it would resemble the Green fight with Wward pinning Bute against the ropes and the taller man covering up unable to fire back.

          Bute's still way better than Green.

              He won't be topping that performance, but Bute's defense is so bad I highly doubt Ward has anything to worry about in the way of a boxing match.

                Bute has a much better chance of stopping Ward than Ward stopping Bute.

                Ward lacks the power to trouble Bute, Bute has the power to KO Ward.

                Would be a good fight IMO.


                Would Ward go over to Montreal and fight Bute?

                Does he have the balls to do that?

                  He stops him late or it's a UD but I think this fight is tougher for ward then people think Carl will take a couple to give one ward won't it'll be a chess game.
                  I also think bute speed gives him trouble but ward will still win.

                    styles make fights


                    bute wouldnt put a glove on ward

                    ward wouldnt put a ton of leather on bute, either, but you'd certainly know who was winning the fight.
