    According to an interview over at the scene, we know Nard likes Southy's not named Dawson, he must have seen something in Bute, I think its a very interesting fight for both men

    Bute has a poor inside game and doesn't know how to hold effectively. IMO, the good old "lead right hand- hold-grab-hit-headbutt-punch in the nuts" dirty strategy would be very effective against Bute.

    Yeah but it might be the only big fight that Bute can make. B4 the supersix ending.

    Way to go Hopkins! I hope this is true, what a good fight and a decent matchup for both fighters at this time. Hopkins is the man.

    But then he exposes himself to the Bute step back and counter with a body shot or an uppercut...

    Pascal is not as good as Bute... Not by a long shot... Bute is a much better boxer and a much more complete boxer, hops has much fewer flaws to exploit than he had vs Pascal... Age would be the factor here, don't think Hops has enough left to compete with Bute...

    B-HOP doesn't know what the term ducking means.

    So is he fighting Haye at HW or Bute at SMW?
