I rate DeGale as a very good boxer and Bute looked really good against him still. I don't rate Jack as high so unless some kind of robbery happens I think Bute has a chance to cause the upset by catching Jack with something.
DeGale has a very good chin and some of the shots Bute landed on him would put Jack on the floor.
Anyone else think this?
Jack is actually fundamentally sound as a boxer. The problem is he doesn't deal with adversity well in the ring. I don't see Bute giving him any adversity. Degale looked awful against Bute because he was fighting in spurts but at no point was he in danger of losing the fight.
Not only give Bute a chance, actually I think he's the better boxer and is going to beat Jack.
The fight against Degale was razor close to me, and I rate Degale way higher than Jack.
Hell no. Bute showed heart but was clearly outclassed by Degale, who is not a great boxer. He also lost to a shot Pasqual. If Jack loses this he only has himself to blame, IMO. I can't believe that people are STILL overrating Bute.
Jack is going to have his hands full with Bute no doubt.
Yeah, Jack should win. After the last performance though, Bute is still game and could land that shot for sure.
Bute at a 3/1 underdog is crazy.
