    The both beat up on bums, but atleast Anthony has an excuse being that he took time off to battle cancer and all. I favor Bute to pull it off of course be it wouldn't be a walk in the park like his other opponents, plus Anthony got pop.

    Too early to say that.

    Anthony did look really good dismissing Engel, though.

    That was give or take four minutes of pure class.

    Bute-Dirrell might be fun in 2013.

    Engel was a corpse who had to lose 2 lbs a day for nearly 2 weeks straight to make the weight. I need to see Anthony step up more before I can put together a more solid opinion on him and what his ceiling could be. He did look good tonight though, and I like that he comes to fight.

    I'm looking forward to where he goes next. Hopefully he steps it up to a top 30ish guy.

    Bute'd stop Anthony. Andre gives him a close one.

    I think that's a bit premature right now.

    Unless he delivers a "blow blow" like he did against Engel and the ref doesn't see it, he might get Bute in real trouble. :yep

    Is this guy any good? He seems to come and fight and all, but Andre is far better then him from what I've seen. He battle cancer so he might have a stronger heart then Andre Direll

    Agree with this except that I'm less sold on both the above fighters than you are.
