    I would say chances are 90% that he will fight a marginal top15 IBF opponent in an optional defence in front of his fans in Romania.

    Then he will set up a big fight with his mandatory by fighting an easy optional on TV (ESPN or maybe HBO BAD) here in Montreal.

    Then he will fight his mandatory

    Thoughts?

    I don't think Bute's management is looking to fight Calzaghe or Kessler anytime soon, since those are p4p fighters in their prime and Bute is still quite green after only 20 fights and only 2 or 3 at the B+ level.

    It's funny cause the translator on RDS kept saying that Bute's manager was talking about a unification bout against Kessler when in fact they never said that at all.

    Bute should fight the winner of the Contender or the winner of Lacy/Manfredo
