It all depends on which Bute comes into the ring. If Bute is anything like his old self, then he will win, if not, he will lose................
He had a sleepless night before the weight-in trying to make 168 so I've heard. But apparently he feels he has more advantages at SMW then at LHW. The weight problem might have been caused by the injury he had in that training camp which could have put his weight losing program back a step. Who knows.
but he hasn't fought at 168 in a couple of fights now, hopefully he'll have the weight issue under control
I always thought his weight issues were caused by the diet he had between fights, or lack of diet to be more exact. He eats a lot of food full of fats from Romanian coussine. Sarmale for example. He would go really high up in weight and then had to work hard to get back in shape. Now I saw that he has stayed in the proper weight and hasn't got up to struggle with making 168. He was training with Roach when he had Bolonti fight schedule then kept himself fit for Di Luisa and now fighting Degale. It's probably 1 year of keeping somewhere 172-175 weight limit and not gone to 185-190 like he used to.
