My personal problem with picking this fight is with Gustafsson's showing against Rumble. Gustafsson's stock was boosted after doing well against Jones, but people need to remember that his style of boxing doesn't work nearly as well against shorter guys.
I think Glover's going to cause Gustafsson a lot more problems than people think, just because of what he excels in. Glover's excellent in close quarters (though Jon Jones ******* SCHOOLED him at that in what I consider to be one of the most impressive fights of his career) and Gustafsson doesn't really play the distance game very well so in my personal opinion, this fight is a total crapshoot.
I'd probably pick Gustafsson in the end, but don't get it twisted people; Glover has a very real shot at winning.

Gus can't do what Phil did so there's really no comparison between the two fights as @anik said. It'll all come down to if Glover abandons combos for the Hendo method he has been known to resort to because if he doesn't land that one shot, Gus will pepper him relentlessly by sticking to the gameplan. If Glover can successfully attack the body early it becomes about a coin-flip imo as it'll keep the output of the two closer as the fight goes on, giving Glover way more opportunities than if Gus just outpaces him with more combos and better head movement/footwork as the fight progresses via technique deteriorating slower as one would expect to be the case if Glover can't dig to the body early. First round is extremely important for Glover. Stranger things have happened in Germany. <----Don't take the bait.

Gus wins this one rather easily getting back in the title picture.

If he loses, then it is three in a row.
