Andre Ward vs Lucian Bute

[SplitSecond]

ya'll stup man, ward would/will get owned by bute, no doubt about it

[Khalid X]

if ward is able to pull off his smothering bhop style on bute, he wins flat out by frustrating bute and fighting his fight, but if the fight is more geared towards a boxing match and bute is able to keep the fight at a distance i think bute can outpoint ward.

it's a pick'em based on what strategy each one implements.

no vote......

That is a big misconseption. Bute can actually fight on the inside like that so I can't see ward dominating Bute in similar fashion. I give Ward a slight edge but not by much.....not enough to make it a deciding factor in this fight.


Also this is really a toss up fight as I'm not sure who I would favor at this point. I know people on NSB are ****ting on Bute, but honestly.....even b4 brinkley I had Bute as #1. Dude has ridiculous skills, can adjust well, has great timing and precision and is just flat out a beast at 168.

I wouldn't say either guy owns the other as those guys are two of the elite fighters in the sport of boxing.

If I had to pick right now.....I would slightly favor Bute via a close decision. I think fight ends up being fought on the outside and Bute pulling away late in the fight as he is more skilled/crafty fighting that type of fight.

Also, I think Bute's team makes sure they have the right ref as well as to not allow Ward to do a lot of his b.s. antics he pulled in the Kessler fight.

Ohh and one last time, the economics boxing says this fight should happen in Canada, but I don't see Ward going there to fight Bute (rightfully so) so this may be a fight that is more difficult to make than Ward vs Dirrell.

These clowns will never fight each other because they both want to stay in atmospheres where all the advantages are given to them.

Ward=mutli dimensional?!

dimensions
1. Holding
2. Butting
3. More holding


Im telling you Butes uppercuts would be a problem if Ward does his usual diving in head first to clinch.

He beat Miranda every possible style of boxing. He beat Kessler on the outside and he beat Green on the inside

Some say Bute is the most accomplished 168 pounder out there, and he may be, but not by much.

Some say Andre Ward is the most skilled, but has he ever beat anyone like Bute (some even say he won't beat Dirrell)

What do u think?

How could Bute be the most accomplished fighter at 168 who has he beaten to even be considered? Bute has looked impressive against b- fighters and based off of that we can see that he has talent to compete with the best but he hasnt provent that he can. Kessler,Ward,Froch,Abraham and Dirrell have all been in tougher then Bute.
