Bute vs Degale looming in Quebec

[Primo Carnera]

Saw this a couple of days ago. I firmly believe this is all going to Degale's head. He's a bit thick really. He thinks cos he's signed with Al Haymon he's gonna make a fortune, but he's just won a World title and now he's going into an ex-Champion's back yard for his 1st defence on the other side of the World. If he loses , he's fucked!
Whereas if he made a defence in England against Bute , it wouldn't be a Stadium fight , but it would be PPV, surely he's gonna make more money out of that AND He would be a very heavy favourite.
In Canada, there'll always be a risk.
Maybe it isn't that, maybe Degale isn't a big draw over here. If that's the case all this smarmy shit about fighting Groves for 90% of the purse is making him look a complete cunt!
Groves has beaten him in the amateurs and the Pro's AND sold Wembley Stadium out, and Degale fucking hates it!

Haymon is double dipping the chip here and playing it smart. He knows that Bute will still sell out the Bell or the new one and Degale at present cant carry a card. He's a little gun shy of Degale I think because of the bad taste left in his mouth from Broner. I think its a good move from an economic standpoint and its a nice first test for Degale fresh after winning. Degale may also have to travel in the future so its a decent test of his metal. The guy he's fighting fell apart in Nottingham his first time outside Quebec. I've also seen Kesslers name mentioned.

Degale did a nice job in beating Dirrell in Boston but if this ends up in Quebec like it most likely would he's about to witness a different animal. He will have the same feeling Bute did on the tarmac at Nottingham. I think he will also carry a false sense of security prior to hitting the Quebec wall of noise and find himself in quite a different state of mind. I believe there is a good chance that he folds like a Walmart lawn chair.

De Gale should beat Bute.

[GAME]

If James jumps on him he before he settles he can get bite out of there early but if it goes 12 in Canada well most likely see a hometown decision

De Gale should beat Bute.

Agree with you

Seems a bit odd to me. You win a title in the other fella's backyard. Come home to a heroes welcome. Then defend the title in the next fella's backyard which means it's the middle of the night for your home fans. Surely you would want to build on the success in your home.

However, obviously it's all about the spondoolicks and at the moment Al pays best.

Bute hasn't looked right since Froch bashed him up. Good name for your record though.
