    Hopefully degale and jack get the win to set up a good unification at the end of summer

    Jacks mando is due in September. Should be Callum smith after this Saturday should he win so it depends whether the wbc allow jack to postpone the mando defence

    I'm fairly confident Bute is going to win this one.

    Nobody will believe me when I say Bute can smash Jack. Bute stylistically matches up very well against him.

    Jack is made for Bute. Not much power, not too agressive. Good in many aspects but not too much. He got KO'd by a punch Bute likes to throw ans has never faces a decent southpaw. Bute has lost speed but still has enough. I can't believe Bute's team are able to get him Jack.

    Of course, Bute has to be himself and not afraid to fight. The version that lost to Degale should be enough to win against Jack.

    I hope Jack is not thinking ahead like you are. He could be badly surprised.

    With the combination of a shortage of "names" at 168 and being faded, Bute is always going to be on the shortlist when it comes to who new titlists will target. He's slipped enough to be in the sweet spot of the "risk/reward" equation.

    Against Jack, though, he really could pull this off. He should win provided he can repeat the form he showed against DeGale.

    Bute may got his confidence back after the DeGale fight. I hope he wins against Jack.

    DeGale thought he was A list elite material. Just just a random contender and his record now finally reflects of what most observers thought of his skills. To think he called out Froch, calling him a coward. I mean, could anyone imagine who Carl would have destroyed this clown? Murder.

    Then why did he not do it? Froch ducked DeGale, plain and simple.

    Another reason to like Degale.

    Oh dear, more Jack doubters.

    Didn't you guys say Groves would be a TERRIBLE matchup for Jack?

    Who was the one put on their ass again?

    :patsch:rofl

    Jack is going to knock him out, just wait and see.

    Bute was never anything special, and he will be dominated by Jack.

    Froch would do a demolition job on Degale, I think comparing their performances against Bute and Groves, tells you all you need to know.:deal
