    I think he could pull out an upset, Bute imo doesn't like pressure and he also can start slow, If Johnson gets inside on him and lands some of those big rights, this could turn messy imo

    if bute KOs him..., well it will be a bad outlook on Ward

    "Bute doesn't like to be pressured."

    Many posters repeat this like if it came grom God's mouth. Bute is a counter puncher. He has no problem with pressure. He has faced many pressure guys in the past. We know what he can do in that department. What will he do against a slick boxer? That, we don't know.

    Bute lacks defense and if Johnson can stay on his ass all night he may get to him.
    Im going with Johnson cos he just deserves it.

    im a big bute fan but this match up does worry me, a hard puncher who has the ability to deliver it

    bute will get hit at some point in the fight and johnson is no easy stoppage

    we will find out more about bute and his punch resistance

    i like glen johnson, how could you not? glen johnson always has a chance, in any fight, but i think bute could have too much speed for him. but then, johnson gave another southpaw, chad dawson, a real struggle in their first fight.
    bute on points, but johnson will have his moments here and there, in my opinion.

    Plus 42 years old,plus the fight in Bute's backyard(as always).No chance.
    This is about a paycheque for Johnson's retirement years.

    He has a shot, but not a big one... This is more to see if Bute can stop the old warrior or not, and if the winner of Froch vs Ward has a reason to crap his pants.

    Considering the craftless Andrade was able to get to Bute there is a chance for Johnson. It will be interesting to see if Bute can plow through Johnson or if the fight is competitive from the start.
