James DeGale v Lucian Bute

[Spicoli]

Think I've heard DeGale mentioned to have 'Benn like confidence' by showtime crew three times now ...sloooow down fellas. There is one Benn. He's not here

that said Bute has that full diaper walk. fact

Gun shy bute stayed home tonight

[armin]

Bute getting this would make me really effin happy

[superheavyrhun]

DeGale started off well, but he's really taken his foot off the pedal, and Bute is coming back into it. Nasty cut, and DeGale needs to put in some good clear rounds.

[Kirkland Laing]

Round 7 and DG landing the best punches but going backwards. Bute will be winning the hometown rounds. If DG can't start pushing Bute backwards he loses this.

[armin]

I m biased but got bute by a few and brit commentary is more biased than me

[superheavyrhun]

DeGale seems the more dynamic, but Bute is going forward and throws good workmanlike combos. Degale by two maybe, but needs to finish strong to confirm it.

[Kirkland Laing]

DG needs a KO last round.

[IamInuit]

Tough fight to score. Close fight. Bute may have inched it but James got an early jump I think so it could be a draw. As noted neither raised their arms.

[IamInuit]

Damn ok make him the winner that's fair enough but ffs 117-111

[Kirkland Laing]

Fuck me. A hometown decision for the away guy. I thought Bute won that fairly easily.

[armin]

Butes to lose imo

[armin]

Bute win 12th sealed it

[superheavyrhun]

Well, I had it by a couple, and I know from the comments here that not everyone agrees. Can't argue that it was a hometown decision. Personally I thought Bute was hitting a lot of gloves, and when DeGale did throw he had more venom in his punches.

As for DeGale's comments "I'm peaking now....", you have to hope not otherwise he won't have that belt for too long.
