Comments Thread For: Bute Regrets Not Jumping Out To Quicker Start

Damn, I used to be a big fan of Bute. He was the kind of guy I thought would give anyone in the super middleweight division problems, with his awkward style. And he had hard body shots too. Damn shame. He had a good career though.

He put on a great performance. Will get another fight

Degale outclassed him but it didn't seem like he had the power to hurt Bute, who took all his shots and kept coming.

I dont think many will agree with this. bute didnt look the same as he did in his past 4 here.

I didn't say it too clearly. What I meant is that Degale seemed to me to display the classier boxing and combinations, but for the most part he couldn't hurt Bute.

That allowed Bute to get some offense of his own going and to have success.
Is that fair enough?

I agree that Bute hadn't looked that good in a long time.
