    Just in, Glen « Road Warrior» Johnson will face Lucian Bute at Bell Center November 5th 2011, the same day Kessler and Stieglitz will fight in Denmark.
    Who will win and how do you see the fight going?

    Wow, the last week of October and first week of November should give us a much clearer picture of the Super Middleweight landscape. My guess is that it will set up a Bute vs Froch fight, with Kessler waiting in the wings to fight the winner.

    I am a hardcore Bute fan but Johnson can pack a punch. He might Clip Bute a few times but Lucian Bute will outwork him and he will win a 8-4 style UD.

    Doubleheader, Bute-Johnson and Kessler-Stieglitz. And the winners fight afterward.

    Johnson beat Allen Green and had a close fight with Froch ( 8-4 rounds ) with Froch. And in his time he bet RJJ and Antonio Tarver. He is a legit fight. Then the S6 winner. Thats good to me. Actually, Johnson has KO power. So I give him a better chance of beating Bute then featherfists, Low Blows N' Elbows Ward.

    then you rate bute way higher than everyone else!

    johnson took 5 rounds off froch and knocked out Allan Green. he is, imo, the best opponent bute has faced, but more than that, the best opponent available.

    No way did Johnson win five rounds against Froch. Maybe three.

    i dunno, i haven't rewatched it but the first half of the fight johnson looked pretty strong and i remember at the final round thinking froch had just edged it.
