    My thoughts exactly. If it's Andre, and Showtime in some strange turn of events, agrees to televise, I hope Bute KHTFO.

    But is this leaving Bute without an opponent for November?

    Bute seems to be making a real effort. Can't wait for the S6 final. Should be a great fight & clears the way for more good fights.

    Before the cancer his record was even nicer with an even higher KO percentage. I think he's back to where he was before the cancer, but I think even this version of Dirrell has what it takes to beat Bute and if I were him I would take the fight now because becoming a champion is only going to become more difficult after the super 6 when he will have to beat guys like Froch, Ward, Quillin, and others who are just as good if not better than him.

    If he has an option to become a champion now without having to beat those guys he would be wise to take it.

    What's the American boxing term for "floored"?

    Have the Fight in Windsor or Montreal.. If the Andre Dirrell who fought the first 8 round in the Abraham fight shows up its trouble for Bute, If I was Andre Dirrell wouldn't think about Boxing I would make it a 5 round fight plan and try to get Bute outtta there.. Its already known he can be hit so focus for 5 round in Stopping Bute anything after that I think Andre Dirrell gets caught.. He still hasent shown me he has fixed his mental concentration flaw.. Fighters will continue to challenge it until he proves otherwise.. It would be nice to see him box for 12 rounds and dominate but he has shown to lose focus and get dragged into the opponents fight..

    As far as tha Dog.. Anthony.. He puts up a good fight on heart alone.. but he not ready and looks a hair slow from the pre Cancer Anthony Dirrell.. But no doubt I think he takes Bute somewhere he has never been.. He is slick.. but in the end Bute has to much firepower.. I tell you those uppercuts to the body HURT>>>! I don't think anyone but Ward can develop a gameplan and stick to it to avoid Bute's strengths for a full 12 rounds...

    aint that right across the way from Detorit..? I have never been to Windsor but i know its in Canada.. but i guess in this fight case Bute can't stray away from the Bell center in Montreal.. its a legit place where both fans of Dirrell and Bute can get to.. even though Dirrell has like 12 fans.. :yep People always talk about how ward needs to fight outside of Oakland.. well bute Fighting in Windsor is a start.. Ward fighting in LA at the Home Depot was a start..

    bro Windsor is like 10 hours away.

    noone wants to go to Windsor


    they could make it halfway, maybe in Toronto. Expose Bute to the English Canadian market.

    Hey the fight could be at Caesars Windsor.. make it a road trip.. **** its a Casino.. :thumbsup LA is like 6 hours from the Bay Area.. and I hate LA so going to see ward there is not so attractive but spending a weekend in LA is decent... But the way you talking bout Windsor the place must really not be ****.. :huh

    I'm waiting for you to analyze at least 50 bouts held in Montreal, pointing out the "robberies" and proving your point. until then (and you won't be able to do it), why not shut up?

    He can still face Johnson in November maybe?

    I guess Showtime has finally changed their mind about airing a Dirrell fight.

    What I don't understand is why negociate a fight for next year when the opponent for the November date hasn't been found yet?

    It would sound to me as if a November fight is off if they get Dirrell.
