Comments Thread For: Photos: Lucian Bute, James DeGale Go Face To Face

i had 180 quid win on pickin the round with carl froch. i think william hill etc based all their research on bute being undefeated and gave really good odds.
was it andrade that had bute out in the final round of their fight previous to the froch bout? cant remember but, it was a very easy pick because bute had zero names and never fought outside of canada before so its easy to say "ive never lost in canada" lol ****. however, i fackin cant stand degayle and like king khunt and the *****...we english would prefer it if he were less mouthy but, i guess the writing was on the wall when the mouthy **** came back from beijing demanding 1 million pounds from frank warren just for signing him.
im hoping bute schools the **** but, i admit that degayle has improved and i think its a points win for the ****.

Bute is shot, so this should be a break out fight for DeGale, winning the belt on foreign soil then defending it on foreign soil is admirable too!

Degale will be too young and lively and should stop him by the halfway mark, Bute was never top draw the first Andrade fight show this where the fight should have been stopped as Bute was gone gone gone and only massive hometown refereeing came to his rescue.

Bute's a big dude, but he's still getting Ko'd

Ko'd as much as Mathysse ?

go bute, if only he didnt have a bit of a glass chin.

Glass Chin ? Really ? Did he went down against Froch ? Don't think so. Go watch his fight against Pascal. He clearly wasn't at his top at the time, but he received huge amount of power punches.. and he never clinch. Funny how people don't know s***t about boxing. He ain't no Khan.
Bute by KO with an uppercut right through Degale's liver.

True, before the Pascal fight the only time I remember Bute getting knocked down was against Andrade, when he was totally gassed in the final moments of the 12th. He's a tough dude. Good thing you brought up the uppercut - that's still Bute's best punch, and it should be within reach seeing it's yet another southpaw-southpaw fight (as DeGale-Dirrell was).

Since when was lucien Bute so damn tall. Degeale is like 6.1" and he is looking up at dude.

Bute has become very gun-shy after getting demolished by Froch, this could result in an easy win for DeGale. A lot of new champions are defending their titles against easy opposition, so I like that DeGale is going out of his comfort zone to fight a big name like Bute. Should be an interesting fight nonetheless.
