Thread: Brinkley wins!

Obviously, I'm from Nevada so I'm rooting for the hometown guy to win. But, realistically, does he really have a chance? Lucian Bute looks like a killer...

Bute knocks him out in 1, at most 2 rounds

Oh noooo! Bute may have a hard punch but Brinkley is one tough MF and he can take a punch. I predict a long, hard fought battle. The distance? Maybe not, but 7+ rounds for sure.

not only does Bute hit hard, but he's extremely accurate, he'll catch Brinkley off balance and counter him and knock him cold or shut him down with a brutal body shot like he did Andrade, Brinkley is just gonna get a nice paycheck, nothing else

Brinkley is durable, but I think he ends up stopped mid-rounds.

He's not fightning Edison Miranda...Brinkley is a tougher nut IMO. For Brinkley to have any chance I think he has to land a money punch that rocks Bute. Bute isnt bulletproof, Andrade showed everyone that, you just gotta be solid any not let him dictate the pace. Brinkleys best bet is to go out guns blazing.

Brinkley is a tough worker and he's earned his title shot. Credit due to him. Bute is on a different level, however, and he will stop Brinkley inside 10. The best scenario for Brinkley is that he makes this an entertaining fight, a fight that propels him into other matches where he'll make some good money.

Bute should handle Brinkley well, but Brinkley has earned this shot and this payday.

I think it will end within 6 rounds, with Brinkley's face a bloody mess.

I'm rooting for Brinkley to get the upset though.

He's crap. He has no chance other than a Bute DQ

Yeah I see a long night for Jesse. Bute in 5.
