    This is also a possibility. Bute could stop Berrio, but it will happen in the later rounds after he has employed the bicycle to great use. Still, I see it going 12: the difference here is that Berrio doesn't tire.

    To the people who voted Bute by UD - do you think that Bute will cautiously fight Berrio from the outside, to minimise all possible risk?

    To the people who voted Berrio by KO - will Bute be overconfident, will he make a mistake or will Berrio just draw him in?

    Yes, Bute fought safe against Tatevosyan - he should have probably gone for it though...against Bika, it makes no sense not to fight safe - only a crazy person wouldn't, because try as much as you want, Bika will make it unsafe for you...

    Against Berrio, he MUST fight safe again because Berrio is THE puncher in the division...

    You say Berrio will not tire...I don't think Bute will tire either - he stood up to athletic, strong Bika pretty well; he is even fitter this time around.

    I agree. Neither fighter will tire. The most likely scenario is a 12 round UD for Bute via bicycle. I wouldn't be surprised if Bute tests the waters though to see if he can go into the kill, so a KO isn't out of the question. Either fighter might crack a shot on the others chin too (Berrios is shaky and Bute is against a power puncher).

    I just don't see Bute running in and winning a slug fest in 4 rounds like some people seem to think.

    The people who think Bute will take Berrio out in the first couple of rounds don't think BUTE would do it by going for an all-out Bika-style slugfest - that would be suicidal and the chances of him getting KOed in the process would rise considerably - an unnecessary, stupid strategy...they think it would happen because BERRIO goes for it, leaving his defence open in the process and gettng TKO'ed by a Bute defensive counter...(Berrio doesn't have the best of chins!)

    Could happen... I guess. Just a lot more unlikely than people think. He isn't fighting a tomato can.

    Berrio is underrated by many people, but he is not better than 10th in the division. Of course, if he KO's Bute and then KO's another rated opponent, his price will go up, and he would soon be talked up more than the likes of Froch, Inkin or even Mundine...we will see. I hope Lucian keeps a cool head in there - he will need it with this guy!:yep

    I love your avatar btw!:lol: Do you have a video or a link to that fight?

    I think Bute will win this fight by KO in round 4 or 5.
