Bute is done Froch ruined him.

[brilo33]

totally agree with that. more wondering about the fight against andrea like is the italiana tough nut . as i dont know him

[Grand_Cru54]

The fight to watch is not Bute-Di Luisa, but Alvares -Ranoni Prieto. This should be a hell of a fight, now Alvares is completely healed from his injuries

[punchoutsb]

Bute was good in his prime. He slipped a little by the Froch fight and that beating effectively ended his high level career.

Never seen Di Luisa so I'm looking forward to tuning in today and watching.

[brilo33]

froch did such a number on him it was surprise he fought on. i worry the same about george groves

[diddy]

Bute is a -3500 favorite. Which means one thing. Di Luisa sucks.

2/5 bute ko. 11/5 decision or td. that is what i was thinking ,looks like di luisa has been down a few times in his career

[diddy]

Bute likely stops this guy. Bute is shot at top level but we are talking a massive gulf in class here.

alvares looking at him is the gay boxer is he not

[punchoutsb]

Nice little scrap so far. Prieto is a brute, Alvarez is already feeling and getting wary of his power. Alvarez definitely has the speed and is more technically sound.

[brilo33]

thought the ref said slip in 4th

[punchoutsb]

It was ruled a slip.

[crusader]

LOL at the commentators; it was clearly ruled a slip.

Alvarez was rocked in the first and third but is doing well now.

prieto is like a real pub fighter swinging at him

[crusader]

Hurt again

Alvarez isn't giving me much confidcence in his ability to take shots from people like Kovalev, Stevenson, and Beterbiev.

[punchoutsb]

Prieto stung him pretty badly in the sixth. Alvarez hanging on and tackled him down...looked like Prieto hit his head on the canvas and slowed down.

If Prieto doesn't tire, I like his chances at a stoppage here. Alvarez doesn't like his shots.

[crusader]

Prieto looks tired...

that was a great round

[Freedom2013]

Crooked Canadian home ref is letting Alvarez hold (and even tackle) Prieto as much as he wants.

[punchoutsb]

Prieto is tired this round. Alvarez doesn't seem confident in himself.

[brilo33]

Alvarez looks so open to that big right over the top hook

[punchoutsb]

Prieto looks like he has some heavy hands, but I agree.

The more telling issue is that he's consistently getting hit by Prieto, who is swinging like a bar room brawler. I can't see him beating any of the three you mentioned.

[punchoutsb]

Prieto looks really tired now. Not as much on his punches and no where near the activity or aggression.
