    According to Sauerland, Bute will fight Larsen on the 17th of May, in Copenhagen.

    Larsen needs to get past Ross Thompson on the 29th of March in a tune-up fight - will not be a problem.

    (Larsen was saying he hoped it would lead to a title fight later in the year...)

    A couple of weeks ago, Bute said his next fight would be on the 17th or 18th of May, in Denmark...all this points to this fight being pretty much a done deal.

    Cool. No, Bute will win, he is technically much better than Larsen and Larsen has a poor workrate.

    Andrade will remain Bute's mandatory for September/October. The winner of Bute v. Larsen will fight Andrade.

    Well, it would be a great evening in Copenhagen, seeing Bute vs. Larsen. I would not write off Larsen, but Bute would still be huge favorite.

    Why is he fighting him in Copenhagen?

    Very bad risk/reward fight here for Bute, even more so considering that the fight is in Copenhagen. The judges can be pretty shifty over there, so he'll be up against it.

    I tipped Bute via UD though. He should be able to win by a few rounds.

    "Why should I care about this fight given that Miranda just called Bute out?"

    :conf

    I would much have preferred Bute v. Miranda too, of course!:-(

    But Larsen is good enough. sean still thinks he's pretty good.

    I have no idea how well Larsen performs now - I haven't cared to watch him after he acted like a kid, when Kessler got his chance at Siaca due to his injury.

    So I have voted Bute by decision. 3 years is a long layoff, not even counting the numerous times he have been injured when he was going somewhere.

    Hadn't he been injured and had been 3 years younger this would be one hell of a fight. Could still be.

    But Larouche (Bute's trainer and Interbox manager) was saying he wanted to give Bute a fight abroad, to prepare him for for a fight where the crowd are against him, in an arena he doesn't know, with a foreign ref and judges...

    Can't even begin to think what will happen if Larsen takes this - guess that would mean that finally Larsen and Kessler will dish it out...
