April 30 on @SHOsports : 168 title card, Badou Jack-Lucian Bute & James DeGale-Rogelio Medina (mandatory). Winners unify in next fight.

[crusader]

Degale by routine stoppage

[dbf]

Callum Smith will be waiting for a while then for his shot should he beat Mahmoudi.

[Oiky]

chunky by stoppage

[lefty]

Bute getting another opportunity lol

[Andrew]

Bute getting another opportunity lol

F*cking joke should be straight unification or at least a rematch with Dirrell

[Tarkus]

Who the fornicate is Rogelio Medina and what the fornicate is this match up.

[Horse]

Bute getting another opportunity lol

What's funny about that?

It's a voluntary defence and a very good one.

[tigermoth87]

Never heard of Medina. He doesn't seem up to much though looking at his record.

Degale stops in in 6 rounds.

[Wales]

Who?

Never heard of him. If my name was Roger i'd perfect an italian accent and tell birds my name was Rogelino.

[Taansend]

I would love it if Bute won

[ProMayhem]

Am guessing this is degale's mandatory? Decent defence for Jack! Can't say he's looking for easy defences!

Decent defence. Bute gave DeGale a hard night. Bute hasn't done much to merit another shot and is coming off a defeat. Can't blame him for taking the chance though.

[broomy7s]

Like the Jack vs Bute fight.

[PredatorHayds]

Bute brings big money to the table. Great fight for Jack.
Glad De-Gale is getting his mandatory out of the way. Jack or Bute rematch would both be tough winnable fights.
If Ramirez beats Abraham that opens more doors for the super-middles aswell.

Pretty much sums up 75% of title challengers.

DeGale by a dominant points decision for me. DeGale is a fighter who is growing on me massively, couldn't stand him around the time of the Groves fight. At least he should get a deserved big fight later in the year.

I've always liked the guy but more so recently. He was a bit of a weapon in the Groves build up years ago but Groves tends to bring that out in folk! He's not the most articulate but he has personality and is pretty likeable. His win against Dirrell gets overlooked a bit I think. It was a fantastic win against a top top fighter.

Rogelio Medina by brutal first round KO.

This fight is next week. Does anyone know if it's due to be shown on UK television? Sky maybe?

[handsofstone]

DeGale has a good chin and although i cant remember him being wobbled he has been troubled on occasion where he's had to retreat to the ropes,Medina has power no doubt and the KO over Love was a big win at the time but more often than not he fails at the higher level,he's beeen KO'd by the other champs Jack and Ramirez and i reckon DeGale will make fairly light work of him,his accuraccy proving too much for Rogelio and KO will be inevitable

Strange that Bute has walked right into another title fight,i wasnt that impressed with his fight against James,ok most were but i thought he lost comfortably,im starting to believe that Jack is better than i gave him credit for,i put the Dirrell win due to Anthony being crap that night but he surprised me by beating Groves fairly easy,he'll beat Lucian easily too i feel,on points

Yep Sky

I dont know if there ever was more useless poll then this. Yet someone still managed to vote Madana. Thats what drinking does.
