The fight between Lucian Bute (29-0, 24 KO’s) and Glen Johnson (51-15-2, 35 KO’s) will play out like most of Johnson’s recent title bouts. 
It goes something like this.
‘John Doe’ is an up-and-coming belt-holder and is looking for a credible opponent to assess his skills against, when no other top opponent is readily available.
Enter Glen Johnson. The man appropriately nicknamed the "Road Warrior" will fight John Doe at any weight he desires as well as at any venue.
John Doe knows that the Road Warrior is tough-as-nails, but also knows that Doe can be out-slicked.
So John Doe begrudgingly signs on the dotted line, and we have John Doe vs Glen Johnson.
In the curious case that is Glen Johnson’s career, John Doe has most recently been played by super middleweight titlist Carl Froch. Light heavyweight titlists Tavoris Cloud and Chad Dawson also starred in the role.
Now, add Lucian Bute to that list.
Like prior John Does, he’ll have the "home ring" advantage as well as considerable advantages in age (11 years to be exact) and hand speed.
And unlike the John Doe (see image above) who met a deathly fate in one of my favorite movies of all-time, Se7en, Lucian Bute will emerge victorious via a comprehensive, unanimous decision next Saturday.
