    I think Bute is very well-prepared for this fight.

    I expect him to win by decision tonight.

    Forgive me if I answer a question asked to another poster but I cam't help myself.

    Bute has no injuries this time, no foot infection, no wrist damaged. His training camp has been excellent. His physical tests are superior as his other training camps. Of course, we can take what his team says with a grain of salt but the way they talk about Bute's attitude tells me it's true. I've seen many Bute's public trainings over the years and his attitude is by far better than before the Grachev fight. The Froch defeat was tough but it is now behind him. Bute seems fast and strong, his eyes are clear with no shame in them anymore.

    Of course, all that could disappear if he gets hurt soon in the fight but he is as well prepared as he can be. It's a good thing because Pascal seems to be better than never, crisper, less sluggish and as fast as usually.

    Bute fought with pain in his hand and trowing his left hand half-hearted since he injured it against Glen Johnson in 4th round. He should be trigger happy for this one. He probably feels like a huge stone was lifted from his chest.
