Lucian Bute has successfully defended his world boxing title with a superb victory against American William Joppy, whom he KO-ed in round 10. Best-prepared Bute dominated the match winning practically all rounds.

As compared to his first professional games, when he was looking for a decisive punch by all means, Bute proved more patient and attentive to tactical elements.

He kept pushing Joppy throughout the game, trying to speculate on his rival's age (37).
