    Derrick Edwards aside, Jack has looked impressive as of late. Is he the real deal?

    How do you see him faring against DeGale?

    Thoughts?

    Think he's being overrated ahead of this weekends fight? Last I checked Bute was nearly a 5/1 dog.... Bute just gave Degale hell who most rate higher than Jack. This to me is nearly a 50/50 fight on paper.

    Bute will win IMO, I was really impressed with Bute against DeGale who I rate much higher than Jack. But depends on how real deal you mean, I don't think he's elite level to be honest.

    Live dog that's for sure.... But do you think he'll be treated fairly if it goes to the cards? That I'm not sure of.

    AL haymom signed bute as an opponent to build his fighters. Bute gotta get the ko to win so he should go all out early.

    As a fan of Badou, I see this being 50/50 as well. I wish he would win, but Lucy Booty is no joke even though the 2 of them have seriously bad chins.

    Can Bute win a decision if he win the fight? I doubt it.

    Jack is very sloppy with the jab. He leaves it out too long and any good counter puncher will parry or dodge it and come over the top with a right hand counter. He also throws his body forward when throwing the jab, making the counter easier to land.
