In-fighting and the ability to maintain distance will win this fight for Hopkins IMO. Bute has no inside game and Hopkins would rough Bute up on the inside. On the outside, Bute is probably Hopkin's equal given his youth and hand speed but Hopkins is the master of controlling distance and timing. He would find a way to figure Bute out. Hopkins UD.
LMAO cause Bute couldn't even beat Froch or Dirrell. Now we are supposed to believe a ducker like Bute could beat an ATG? Drugs are a terrible thing! :rofl:rofl
Bute by Larouche's gameplan. The man is smart... smart enough to enable Bute to surprise B-Hop. Everybody knows Nard can dominate ANYONE on the inside. Hopkins can still be impressive as ****, so I'd say 50/50 between a Hopkins wide UD and a Bute 10/11th round TKO or close UD.
Even a Past prime Hopkins is too crafty and far to experienced for Bute. The Executioner wins a UD 118-110
B-Hop wide decision. The haters cant wait to see Hopkins knocked out. That's their prediction for every one of his fights Except he keeps schooling people.
Will be a great way to end a great career with that Upercut to the body/chin! If Pascal floored him twice, Bute certainly will get the job done properly .
