Comments Thread For: Lucian Bute-Glen Johnson Deal Reached For Nov. 5

This isn't good enough. Bute is turning into the new Calzaghe. He's had the belt for about 4 years now and he still hasn't face anybody above B level. It's time. It's been time. Step it up. I love Johnson, but he hasn't beaten anybody of note in years.

Bute will end up facing the winner of the Super 6 provided he keeps winning.

Lucian Bute is the best super middleweight in the world.

He will become the first man to KO Glen Johnson.

Hopkins got the KO....i agree though that Bute might stop him.

Beware of the upset if Johnson can weather the early storm from Bute. I still havent seen Bute tested in the later rounds since the first Andrade fight and we all saw how that went.

Glen is gonna seriously whoop Bute's ass.

I'm taking bets.

PM me for bets.

Decent fight, I am pretty sure Bute beats him fairly easily though. Bute will fight his style which does give Johnson an opportunity to land some fire but at this stage of his career I just think Bute has to much gas in the tank to get beat by a guy like Johnson.

A younger more spry Johnson I would favor to beat Bute though because he would most likely be tough enough to take Bute's fire while slowly breaking him down. Maybe he can turn back the clock one last time but I just don't find it likely.

Johnson looked pretty good in there against Froch. This fight will be a good test to see if Bute is world class or a pretender. I mean, Froch's victory over Johnson was not an easy one, and personally I think Froch is a lot better than Bute.

It's a good fight. We're not coming out of a fight with Johnson without a clear picture of how good Bute really is.

And I LOVE to see Glen getting another title shot. He's deserved every one.

Bute wins this, but can he knock him out? If he can, then we know he is the real deal. Glen Johnson has a hell of a chin and if it gets smashed then we know Bute's power is for real.

Hopkins already stopped him.

Didn't really ko him though or even put him down.
