A great comeback for Bute if he can when. This weekend. Don't know too much about DeGale other than he is a malatto and that he has a title at 168 lbs.

Bute put a courageous and valiant effort in his attempt to regain the 168 lbs. title. It looked like father time was nipping at his heals. It was a close fight but DeGale got the win.

Bute got in some good punches and had Degale backing up here and there, but Degale was just a little bit sharper overall. Bute fought very well for 34 and few fights in the last few years.

Bute's loss is no surprise and neither is that he did well but came up short. Many writers had Bute getting knocked out mid fight which i thought short sighted as Degale is not a powerhouse that overwhelms many. Bute never has learned how to fight long so he'll never change and get outpointed by a long-shot boxer.
