Official: Badou Jack vs Lucian Bute / James Degale vs Rogelio Medina RBR Thread

Hmmm was feeling like Bute was a super live dog here & based on the votes (5-4-2 Jack's way so far) looks like others are thinking like me. That Derek Edwards KO in 1 result won't inspire a lot of confidence in Jack for years to come even if he puts together a nice title run.

Bute definitely has a legit chance there... And TBH that would be great for the sport... Lucian has always been faithful to Boxing in the most fashion way...

Very excited for this card. The real question is who is Memo Heredia working with - Jack or Bute? Both men have used in him in their previous fights. I see Heredia is also working with Ishe Smith, so I'm inclined to believe he's working with Jack at Mayweather's gym and not Bute.

Vs Groves, Jack had impressive stamina and so did Bute vs DeGale. Legal or not, the guy makes a difference in most fighters.


I don't expect DeGale to lose, but hoping Medina makes him work hard for it. Porky's been in camp with GGG the whole time.

Idk about little chance. I think getting 3-1 on a fight boxing people see as even is a solid bet to make. Granted the current sample size (16 people, 7-7-2 even now) means little, but I definitely feel this is an even-ish fight personally so its going with my current line of thought.

A UK, Sweede, Mexican, and Canadian-based Romanian in DC, PBC brainiacs at their finest. This would've sold big in Montreal and probably as much in London. I swear, if DeGale & Jack both win, I expect Haymon to put their unification fight in Mississippi.

LMFAO.

For sure this was an obvious fight card to put on in Canada or the UK. No f#cking clue what the logic is with these destinations at all.

DeGale is being paid really well, but it's so short sighted. He's fought in Boston, Montreal, and now DC. The guy won a gold medal for the UK and was brought up on basic tv there and they're wasting him in front of crowds that could care less about him. Hearn could headline him at the O2 by now.

I'd probably pick Jack, but i give Bute a good chance in this one. Looking forward to it.
