I really like Bute, but I think he may have problems early on in the fight because he's a slow
starter and Berrio is anything but.
I agree. He's more than capable of riding the storm though. Bute must be prepared to play the long game here.
For me, the normal indicators...ie home crowd, undefeated record, good KO ratio seems to suggest that Bute should probably have the edge, but I would still like to see Berrio win because he's been the long way to get the title....going back to Germany to beat Stieglitz after he'd lost their first meeting showed a lot of bottle, and he's a heck of a puncher too.
Berrio was also the first person to beat Yusaf Mack, and he did it quicker and more convincingly than Andrade. Furthermore Berrio has only 1 fight that went the distance an 8 rounder 4 years ago. This is definately going to be an exciting fight, Berrio will put more pressure on Bute than Bika did, I am really excited to see how he can handle it.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
