No 7th and 8th round?! Did you give Grachev winning the 10th? I think Bute may have an injury...maybe being the operative here. Definitely not the 8th, maybe the 7th. If I was a judge, and was under the gun then maybe the 7th as a draw but my immediate reaction was a very close 10-9 round for Bute. Maybe it's the style, but to me if Grachev doesn't visibly hurt Bute then I can't score the round for him as he isn't accurate enough. Not all of his punches are connecting.

I missed the 11th because my stream stopped, but I gave Bute the 12th, hands down.
Pretty close fight, if you ask me. It was damn near even for me. |

Nice victory for Bute. His confidence was clearly still a bit injured, but overall not bad. Not sure if he can beat Froch though.

Did you see the scores? I can understand the 116-112, even the 115-113. The 118-110 was too generous. Agreed on the 118 - 110. I can tell when a fighter is uncomfortable, and Bute was too uncomfortable to have won it at a 118 - 100 pace. G-man wasn't all that bad when it came to keeping the pressure on Bute, he just didn't throw with confidence most of the time. |

IMO Grachev felt Bute's punches, he's just a tough sumnabitch. |

Paulie 'Gift of the Gab' Malignaggi's commentating on the GBP bill on Fox Deportes/FSN. I missed the J'Leon Love match. Damn it!
