    Larsen should take the fight! Belive me he's going to win the fight! He's got really great skills, he's fast and has power! I'm going for Larsen!

    I think he can punch hard. He hasn't been knocking out guys that he did before. Hell, he knocked out Thulani Malinga, clean knocked out. Very solid chinned fighter that went 12 with Robin Reid, Robin was one good puncher. A guy that sparred and fought with them said Robin was a harder punch than Carl Froch. So the signs are there he can punch hard enough.

    Mads needs to find his timing and rhythm, how to position his body and get leverage, and find a way to use his raw power more effectively. I think he's been too tentative in his comeback. One can never tell how boxing works out, I would not be surprised if he landed a hurtful shot.

    I'm pulling for him no doubt, but my hopes are not big!

    I fear speed is going to be the turning point. Bute is going to be too quick with his hands and feet.

    Mads can't put any pressure on Bute. He can't test his stamina and take him into the trenches. He can only fight like one type.

    Bute has to be another fighter after Andrade, I'm sure he's not the same after that

    Yeah,I doubt he can even get close to Bute,he is really slow on his feet.Hell,we don't know how his stamina is,he hasn't fought 12 rounds in a long time.

    No,you hope,you can't be sure as you haven't seen him fight....and honestly I doubt he will be different,more so he will get better and learn from that.

    Bute is a good student. That's not like if he had been schooled by Andrade. He just ran out of gas. I'm sure he's already a better boxer. After all, he has only 23 pro fights. I expect him to be very hungry in his next fight.

    It's a shame Kessler is out there languishing cuz he and Bute aren't even tied down to anything right now. They could unify if it weren't for all the surrounding BS. It's not as though either are stuck with a mandatory or something like that. It's a shame that 2 fighters like these can't get near each other and I'm willing to believe that Kessler would go to Montreal. He's already proven that he'll fight in the opponent's backyard 3 times.

    I doubt even Cotto will not be the same,he is an elite fighter.
