Great card this weekend featuring 2 fighters on a collision course for a unification fight later this year. I see Degale stopping Medina on Saturday in good fashion. I also expect Jack to outpoint Bute with some ease. Both Dirrell brothers to win their bouts, and Guzman to pull out another stoppage win. Anyone disagree with any of the fights there?
DeGale wins by KO6 Bute wins by KO7 Dirrell UD's Caparello in a tougher than expected match Dirrell KO's Truax in 8 Guzman wins by KO3
I don't think the 2016 bute can.... A prime bute maybe but he's 32 now. He put in a performance against Degale for sure but I see the younger jack being able to outwork bute
I told people that when he fought DeGale too. Old Bute was a volume puncher. This version of Bute does not have it like he used to. This is why guys have to fight at their peak ie. Jones vs Hopkins and Toney, Toney vs Nunn, Eubank vs Benn.....
Bute's southpaw style will give Jack fits, Jack isn't as versatile as DeGale, and he doesn't have the luxury of being a switch hitter like James either, DeGale tried to bomb Bute out early, it failed, DeGale got caught and hurt a few times early, so he switched to boxing off the backfoot, if Jack try to bomb him out, he'll get caught and put down, if Jack tries in and out flurries, he'll get caught and put down, if Jack tries to get in close he'll be ripped to shreds by Bute's uppercut, I don't see a way Jack can actually win over the Bute that fought DeGale.
Degale should win against Mdeina comfortably if he doesn't get him out within the first 5 rounds. Think Bute win by by late stoppage. Don't think Jack can handle the style
Degale and Bute. If Bute fights as good as he did against Degale, he could win it. And I think he will.
I got Degale by KO rounds 5to 7 and Bute by KO rounds 9 or 10. I think he got his confidence back and he'll come out gunz blazing because he knows he wont get a decision in DC AND it's now or never for him. Either man wins this will def be a good fight.
NEver heard of Medina, so I'm just picking DeGale off of that, picking Bute against Jack, either UD or early TKO.
