    Don George said on his twitter account that he is in talks to fight Bute in december.

    This will be Bute's first fight with Freddy Roach.

    Not a bad fight to see if Bute has ANYthing left.

    If he struggles with George, he should call it a day

    Good to see Bute decided to remain active this year. I was expecting him to take the rest of the year off. This is a good enough fight to see if Bute is going far with his career.

    WAR BUTE!

    I hope he gets his confidence back and can still make some waves at 168/175.
    I love the guy's bodyshots.

    Don George is somewhat of an American L. Andrade. Good luck to Bute.

    Tough fight for Bute, fair play for taking a dangerous fighter. I think Bute will win but an upset would not surprise me. Better than most match ups.

    The younger version of Bute would have cake walked over george-but this version who's confidence is shaky at best,makes this interesting.Dr. Phil may be more important to Bute in the corner than Freddie.

    I wonder how hard it will be for Bute to drop back to SMW and if he can, and be strong.
    Pre-Froch Bute, it would be people moaning about a nothing title fight, if this was happening, but now, many struggle to pick a winner, as Bute just hasnt seemed the same since

    Very interesting. Bute may be tattered enough that it could be competitive. (and fun!)

    not a bad fight to come back to. i'll tune in.

    if Bute were to lose, he should retire there and then. you can't come back after a loss to someone like George.
