Very good fight through 4. I have it 38-38

Same score

Bute less mobile than he normally likes to be I think because Grachev is so slow but Grachev leverages hard shots and has cracked Bute a few times with well placed shots that have appeared to slightly shake up Bute, though not especially so. Bute landing quite a few straight lefts and uppercuts

Bute hurt against the ropes late in the 5th

3-2 DG

Bute looked in trouble near the end of the round.

He managed to move away and answer back with some shots of his own but Grachev looks totally unfazed by his power as he muscles Bute around the ring

48-47 Grachev

4-2 DG

Bute looking tentative in the 6th moving around and not throwing much as Grachev stalks him and occasionally corners him. Bute looking tired and Grachev lands a couple hard rights. Good upper from Bute but he still gets hit in return. They're trading a bit but Bute is the one who backs up. Bute uppercuts his way out of the corner and lands another big one.

58-56 Grachev

Bute getting retarded corner advice. Trainer telling him to "not respect Grachev" and "be the aggressor"

The updates are very much appreciated!

Like shit

Bute starts sticking clean right jabs and pivoting. Grachev plodding in with hammering shots but not landing very cleanly. Grachev corners him and they trade a few shots. Grachev going to the body pretty well. Big shots traded at the end.

68-65 Grachev but Bute has all kinds of flash and oohs and aahs on his side that is likely gonna fornicate these scorecards up from the judges

4-2-1 DG

If Bute loses, what happens to the Froch rematch?

Russ Fagber has it 68-67

I don't see how Bute is winning.

It'll probably be off, luckily for Bute.

Yup, Grachev is a tough bastard though, it'd be great to see him and Froch or him and Shumenov or him and Cloud

Another round for Grachev. He rocked Bute early in the round and bullied him for most of the remainder.

Good.

78-74 Grachev

Anber's card is utter shit.

Russ Fagber has Bute up by two now

I want Froch Kessler but some of these younger guys are interesting. Noone about for Ward though, who's he got next?

I think Ward will wind up against Pavlik. Top Rank seems ready to make Kelly sink or swim

Home cookin'.

Grachev bullying Bute for most of round 9. Bute looks winded. Bute lands a couple shots late but Grachev hammers him against the ropes at the end
