i disagree that bute is the best SMW especially from just watching this fight. brinkley was way smaller and is not a world class fighter at all. i do think that bute is a good fighter but he has to prove to me more for me to say that he is the best

He won every round, didn't take any big shots, dropped him 3 times and stopped him. What more do you want?

Bolo punches, front flip over the ropes, behind the back knockdown, extendo-arm punch under the arm.

dirrell, ward, pascall, would all be tough match ups for bute. but guys like froch and pavlik i think are match ups that favor bute a little more

Can Bute make 166lb without draining himself ? I don't see why Kelly doesn't just move up.

I think him and Ward are the 1a and 1b. Based off their last few fights. He wasn't spectacular tonight, but he did exactly what he had to and had some exciting moments.
