Bute looked good against DeGale, I could see him taking this

 

[CatchnShoot]

Badou looks like he's gotten his poop in a group, and Bute looks like he's back to himself, so this looks to be a fine matchup. I don't know who takes it tbh.

DeGale should cruise to a W though. Quite a nice Showtime card.

Bute's last chance.

This is gonna be fun. I feel like the jury is still out on Badou Jack. If he wins tonight, he's the real deal. I'm excited

 

[cottagecheesefan]

Very excited for this card and the Berto card. Will be a very fun night of fights.

 

[Mr2urbo]

Jack needs to make a huge statement tonight or else he's never going to get people to get excited for him

I like Bute's chances as well but theFroch, Pacal and DeGale fights has to have done something to him

I'll go with Jack by Decision

Im not too sold DeGale yet, he looked ok in his last two fights, nothing special IMO, Medina was put there to make him look good I feel

 

[JayElectra]

Jack's last two performance have completely changed my opinion of him. Solid wins and entertaining fights. I have high expectations for Bute/Jack and I think Jack wins another decision here. DeGale's last two performances have been a bit uneven even if they're both good wins, but I'd expect him to stop Medina.

 

[XCuTioNeR]

Edwards KO is just what Jack needed I guess, looks like a complete fighter now.

 

[JayElectra]

Interesting that they're not having this in Montreal or Quebec City. Bute would still do a good gate there.

Hopefully we get a couple round out of these matches

Bute could rob jack there. This is likely the last shot Bute gets at a title, so my guess is jack use that leverage to get the fight out of Montreal/Quebec City regardless of the money

Can British fighters stop wearing the badge of their favorite football teams on their trunks?

 

[Old Cat]

You tell me. Isn't that a religion of sorts on your side of the pond?

Ex they are walking

 

[MC Paul Barman]

Degale deserves to be the lead on this card.
People talk about the heart Lucian showed, but Degale looked levels higher than him.

Good seeing you around again, old cat
