    Hopefully the last round of the Pascal fight gave Bute something to feel optimistic about.

    IDK.....George gave Stevenson hell for 11 rds before gassing....made Stevenson resort to potshotting and and what not.

    Bute is gonna have to go hard at the body early and often and send a message.

    Hope this fight is at 175 where Bute won't have to drain himself like in his last few SMW fights.:think

    175 lbs would advantage Bute.

    I know but he was also shut out by Edwin Rodriguez, and stopped by Truax in 6. Maybe he just had a good night against Adonis but still got stopped. Also Adonis looked very flawed against Fonfara maybe Stevenson isn't as good as everyone thinks, or he has occasional bad nights.

    Don is tough as nails, but let's face it he lost every round. Was not a competitive fight, I hope he can pull off an upset against Bute.

    Don has had serious hand problems in the last 2 years, so I'm not sure if he can still throw dynamite like he used to. Bute was undoubtedly aware of this when he agreed to fight him. Either way, it should be an entertaining fight.

    The one that almost got killed in his last round with Librado Andrade, needing a hometown referee to win?

    bute should be off to see the wizard not a roach. doesn't have the heart or much courage anymore. he could take broner with him to get a brain. and you got yourself a movie.

    George made some serious mistakes in his life. He doesnt know how to treat women, and when he was younger, he abused a girl much younger than himself.
    We're not talking Stevenson or Larsen sick, but George is right up there with the scumbags.:-(
