Just noticed Boxrec have downgraded Bute vs. Miranda to a three-star fight. I thought 4/5 was fair. 3/5 is less fair than 5/5, though, I think. Any info about gloves used? Not that it matters that much... Bute used Everlast gloves last time and still got a KD and a KO. Everlast are also puncher's gloves, but not in the same class as Reyes.
Unfortunately, they chose the gloves before the weigh in. Damn! Last news, Bute was supposed to wear the same Everlast (the punchers ones) and Miranda the Reyes gloves. I don't know if it has changed.

His mum will not bear to watch him, though. She doesn't like to see him take punches.
