It is a possibility. Dawson has to face Pascal in August first and there is a rematch clause, so Bute will have to find someone else for the moment. Maybe early next year?
That would be ideal, especially if both men remain unbeaten. Bring on Hopkins! Bring on Dawson! Bute is ready to take on a big fight now. We've seen Bute against punchers, brawlers and pressure fighters. Now let's see him against intelligent, skilled, fast fighters. Win or lose, I know he'll make us proud. Go, Bute!
:good miranda was already outclassed by 2 of the guys in the tourny already.the only guy he could maybe beat would be jermain taylor.bute has power and can counter punch brawlers with speed.him against the direll and the ward i doknow.nt
Bute belongs in the tournament he is a great champion and very exiting the tournament ruins Bute's shot at getting marquee names Stieglitz won tonite they should meet before the super 6 ends. and yes Bute should be ahead of Ward Bute has what 5 defenses and 4 are by KO plus getting the title was a KO. Ward wins one fight that was also shrouded with some controversy and he supersedes Bute to be 1.
yeah, bute looked pretty good in both of those fights. the super six seems like a tournament to decide who gets a chance against bute. hahaha
One fight but that's one of 5 defenses. Ward had one fight and it has controversy how does one controversial fight over step five defenses mostly by KO's talent wise close credentials not even
Yeah and you might want to add an automatic HBO contract till then. And HBO's clought in getting him matchups that will make him look good.
I'm sorry guys, I'll overestimate the knocking out of Lebrado andrade in 4 rounds...that was seriously bad ass:bbb Also you want to talk about overating someone people might want too look at Ward or look in the mirror. What has Ward done to make him so high in everyone's minds? All the guy has done is beat the same Miranda and defeat a guy that hasn't fought a competitive fighter since losing to JC years ago. How does this make him so great? Bute is clearly top 3 in the division. IMOP he waxes the floor with Froch, Dirrell, and Green. Kessler has a small chance but I'll hold my judgement with respects to KEssler until after next weekend. The guy that showed up against Ward gets knocked out. After the Dirrell fight I'd make him the favourite against AA. I'd have to make Ward the favourite against Bute but its not a fight that I could call with confidence simply because I honestly haven't seen enough out of Ward to hav e full confidence in him.
Bute is not even the No.1 SMW and i cant believe sports writers and fans put his ass as the No.1 SMW ??? All this guy does is stay at his home turf and fight bums which he been making his career out of. All the best SMW fighters are fighting in the Super 6 and this guy is in Canada feeding off bums. If Bute was fighting in the Super 6 he already would have a loss trust me !!!!
Miranda went 12 rounds with Ward. Bute stopped Miranda in the 3rd round!!! Ward refused to fight in tournament unless all his fights were in his hometown and he will not fight in tournament if Bute were allowed to fight in it. Bute is the best 168 lb. fighter in the world by far.
Youve got to be joking me.... really? Sooooo... Abraham, Dirrell, Ward, Froch, and Kessler all battling it out with eachother against ELITE fighters fight in, and fight out, all become irrelivent because Bute beats Andrade.... and.... Miranda? come on man..... wow.
