    It would probably via that that left uppercut (which to me is on the most dangerous punches in boxing) stopping the 40 year old Johnson. Johnson was outwilled and outworked at parts by a Froch who is older in chronological and ring years than Bute. True we knew more about Froch than Bute at that point but Bute really does have a dangerous body attack. Would it really shoock you to see a TKO/KO against Johnson?

    A couple of weeks ago, most people were saying it was impossible for Bute to knock Johnson out. I've been called stupid because I do think tha'ts what we'll see tonight. In the last days though, many people have said it could happen. I know Bute very well. I know he's sick and tired of waiting for the super 6 fighters. He's very motivated but very relax at the same time. I found him very confident at the weigh in and I expect him to make a big statement tonight. That won't be only by knocking Johnson out but by the way he'll do it. I'll know in about 15 hours if I was right with my prediction.

    I exspect it to happen so not surprised I think the body punches will eventually put Johnson down and shortly after a follow up barrage will probably make the ref wave it off for a tko probably 9 or 10th round.

    Not that surprised, all things considered. I don't think it's likely though. If it were to happen on a single shot to the head, I'd be a bit shocked, even at his age, and considering it can happen to anybody, because he still is so solid. A single body shot, or an RTD, surprised but not shocked.

    If he keeps going it might happen soon but not quite yet.There's heavy bags that can take less punishment than Johnson.At very worst a stoppage on his feet and that's no reflection on Bute.Johnson just reminds me of Foreman second time around,there were times it looked like the guy just couldn't be hurt.Mind you,when you go on that long there's always a danger that you've had that one fight too many so more I think about it I see where you're coming from.Still,I'll go for not quite yet.

    I would be surprised. If Bute manage to knock Johnson out he deserves credit for that no matter how shot people might think Johnson is.

    I would be even more surprised than if Johnson stopped Bute. Listen just get off the hype train. I'm calling it now, he ain't stopping ****. He will win an ud being that he is in canada.

    If Johnson gets stopped it will be on his feet with the ref jumping in. Dont see that happening though personally

    Yes I would be very shocked. Bute is the most overrated fighter since Jeff Lacy

    Surprised but not shocked if either man gets stopped. I make Bute the clear favourite as he's undoubtedly talented but Johnsons pressure could get to him at some point. Think this is potentially a foty candidate.

    i believe it will be over before the 9th by KO, he love fighters who pressures him, he fights good wile backing up, he will roll with the punches and counter, bute is a boxer who can addapt to wathever the situation, has a good sholder protection, thats why he gets away with having a low right hand gard.
    its the biggining of the end for all bute hatters, as he moves trough top contenders, hatters will have less and less amunition to ***** about.
