    Same here. I have to know if Bute wins by KO or UD. It's a tossup at this point :D.

    Bute by Ko. Styles make fights and boy did Kessler pick a bad style for himself to face after such a layoff.

    This fight will see Kessler swing and missing with more punches then in his entire career.
    Most will be one shot, one handed punches since he will be holding his guide dog leash in one hand.

    Bute by shot in liver.
    But this fight will not happen.
    Bute will fight with Mendy then with Hopkins.
    Kessler will never boxing if he want to keep is eyes.

    I have to favor the undefeated Bute.

    The Kessler from the Andrade fight would stop the Bute from the Andrade fight (the 1st one).

    But now..........Bute's on top of his game and Kessler, although I hate to say it, is damaged goods.

    since bute learned his lesson from the first andrade fight he has become very good at fighting at the right distance, kessler will have his moments but i see bute beating kessler the same way calzaghe beat him, and im talking against a 100 percent kessler, we dont actually know what kessler has left in this point in time, the ward beating, slugfest with froch and his age may all be taking there toll, if thats the case then we could see a late stoppage by bute, good fight, lets hope it happens as i like both.

    The Kessler that fought Andrade brutally KO's Bute.

    As everybody knows, the question is how much Kessler have left. If Kessler's eye heals completely, then nothing should hinder another career performance based on his birth certificate. On the other hand there's several indications that you can call Kessler battleworn and that's his history with injuries to his back, hands and latest the eyes.

    In terms of volume I think Kessler surpasses Bute still which should enable him to get the points win if the fights in Denmark or neutral territory. In Montreal it's a totally different matter. Judged by previous Bute-fights, Kessler would need to KO Bute twice to get a draw there.

    Kessler will knock Bute out. A major step up in class for Bute here, Kessler is hard as nails as well.

    Kessler by Stoppage late.

    I'm going with Kessler by some form of early win. (Assuming Kessler is anything like he was before eye injury).

    Bute keeps his right low and Kessler has good skills.
