Senile old men BRINKLEY WAS MANDATORY. YOU IDIOT!!! Brinkley was the mandatory challenger to Bute's IBF title, having beaten [url]Curtis Stevens[/url] in an eliminator for the #2 ranking. [url]http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:1525528[/url]
So you are saying that the official IBF rankings on the official site of the IBF is wrong??? Ok. Carry on.
So Bute completely shuts the door on one unification fight because of another unification fight that was likely less negotiated than a fight with Sartison was last week. Doesn't sound badass to me. Rather it sounds like someone questioning his ability. He should just have said: "Bring him on and I'll knock him out like I did Zuniga'" That would have brought him my respect.
If you knew anything about him... He never talks bad about any other boxer unless he was really pissed off by him.He doesn't want to sound baddass. His "baddass" words are : I'm ready for all the best. I am the best Super Middleweight of the world. And you don't really know that the WBA real(super) champ is not Sartison and it can't be really a unification. You can unify the WBC silver or the WBA regular champ with the IBF.
Kessler was not even available at the time. He was fighting wis his promoter Palle. So, Bute, in french, his second language, is asked what he thinks about a fight against Kessler, who is not available, and says no, and that would be called ducking? Hey, dumbass, talks had began between Interbox and Palle in autumn 2008 for a bute-Kessler fight. Bute had to fight Zuniga BECAUSE Kessler was not available. You know nothing about what you're talking about. Again.
For a weird reason, the Bika-Brinkley fight didn't get made and Brinkley was named the mando to Bute.
1- Froch's team didn't have confidence in them beating Bute or else an eliminator fight would have been made between Froch & Bute in Spring 2007 instead of Bute-Bika. That was the fight the IBF organization was demanding. Bute wanted it but Froch said no. (Fact) Like I previously said, Froch waited an entire extra year before getting another crack at a belt...Who does that when they're so confident of winning ??? 2- After, Bute and Froch were negociating for a fight in September 2009 which would be before the Super 6 tournament but Bute wanted to clear the Andrade fiasco ASAP before being called a ducker about it... The Andrade rematch was initially planned for September or early October 2009, then events and HBO pushed it to November. The choice was between clearing his name or moving on to fight another guy. He opted for clearing his name first. (Fact)
some guys here are being too hard on Magee. Hes ranked in the top 10 by 3 of the governing bodies. He had the offer to fight Stieglitz as well as the Bute fight. What do people expect him to say? No? I'll give him this, after the robbery of Hopkins in Canada, most fighters would have taken the Stieglitz offer but fair play to Magee, he wanted to fight the best man. TO THE ASSHOLES WHO HAVE REFERRED TO PRO FIGHTERS AS CLOWNS- SHAME ON YOU. THESE GUYS HAVE MORE HEART AND INTEGRITY THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW, AND ALL FOR YOUR 'ENJOYMENT'
Man, you shouldn't really react. This is the general forum after all, full of idiots who have probably never gone to a live fight let alone stepped inside a ring....
Magee posts here ever now and then, I hope to god he doesnt see this disrespectful bull**** being posted about him.
