Comments Thread For: DeGale-Bute Clash in Talks For November 14 in Quebec

[removed]

Good fight, although Bute has been Cobra'd, he's still dangerous, and can punch. DeGale should be able to box him to an easy(ish) decision though.

War Chunky!

good fight, would DeGale should win since Bute as not looked the same since Froch smashed him, but i really worry about DeGale stamina, because if he takes 4/5 round off like he did in his last fight Bute could catch him and knock him out as he as power unlike dirrel

I like this fight, going with DeGale in a SD

[No Tomorrow]

I think DeGale wins within 3

I think Degale takes this easily.

Fair play, it is a more challenging first defense than most would make...

Bute is way past prime IMO.

[Eastcoast]

Bute's going to reclaim his IBF crown.

[bojangles1987]

Froch ruined that man. DeGale wins easily.

[Chrismart]

Won the belt in America, first defence in Canada. Hearns and the Brits keeping those belts hostage doe.

i feel like bute is a shell of his old self at this point. fair play to degale for going abroad again though. hope he shows an improvement in activity this time. i had conflicting feelings about the dirrell fight: it was a good win but he somehow looked very beatable at the same time

How come no one outside of Eastern Europeans and Bernard Hopkins want to be undisputed champion anymore....

I don't blame Degale per se but no Ward, Jack or Abraham

Jack just fought so won't be ready for November. DeGale would take that fight in a heartbeat.

Abraham has a date in Germany, probably against a bum. Won't want to fight DeGale in a million years.

Ward fighting on the Cotto-Canelo card. DeGale signed to fight Ward last year - clearly he's not scared of that fight. I hope politics don't prevent it.

This is his first fight under Haymon and first title defence. He's going to a former champion's backyard to defend it. Not many would do that.
