    Bute will win by late stoppage and get zero credit for it.

    I forgot (in my list) to say that Kessler got a big following in his home as Bute, so it can be in either country. Since Bute wants to fight the S6 winner in NY, I guess he should go in Kessler's hometown to make critic stop and gain some experience in a hostile environment.

    Bute. Kessler isn't the fighter he once was. Of course, Bute isn't the fighter he's supposed to be - so who knows.

    Make it happen at MSG, in Vegas or even in England with DeGale on the undercard. Would hate to hear **** talk about how there would be homecooking in either Canada or Denmark, we don't need that.

    Would love to see Bute-Kessler and Dirrell-Pavlik on the same mega card in Vegas whenever Pavlik feels he's ready after his May fight. Jul/Aug/Sep? Meh, probably won't happen that way.

    Bute and Kessler wont sell in the states, but if you put Pavlik and Dirrell in the mix it might work.

    I mean that Kessler isn't nearly the fighter who fought Calzaghe and Bute hasn't fought Anyone. He looks world class against medicore-good competition, but I'm not convinced he'll be the same fighter against a top-5 SMW, especially one with serious boxing skills. I give Bute a good chance against Kessler and Froch, but much less of a chance against Ward.

    Montreal's an hour flight away from NYC. If they truly love Bute, they'll come to the fight.

    I agree that Bute has not fight top 3-4 in division right now. I agree that Kessler is not as good now. I think he go Kessler and Froch a confortable win in a very good fight and I think he is at 50/50 with Ward. Ward have one really good win and thats about it (compare with Bute) and if the Bute/Kessler fight is happening Bute will have face about the same level of opposition of Ward (though Ward did it earlier in his career).

    Thanks for the explanation by the way.

    A lot of tickets are around 40$ to 100$ here. its a lot more expensive to go to the states with the hotel, and all that. Im sure the die hard fans (me included will go there), but I'm not too sure about the many thousands... I hope I'm wrong.

    MJK - I can't really disagree with you. I guess it's that Ward dominated Kessler (albeit with multi-headbutts) so badly. That fight said a lot. And when Miranda boxed Bute for the first couple of rounds (instead of brawling) Bute was not comfortable at all. It makes me think that a skilled, slick boxer would have a relatively easy time with him. But I'm a Bute fan, so I hope he does well. He's a very entertaining fighter and gives his all in the ring.
