Bute-Miranda IBF/WBO Unification (HBO) on April 17th?

......and then Pavlik at MSG, NY.

 

Or Brian Magee

 

Pavlik? He would lose against Direll, Kessler, Ward, Froch and Abraham 9 of 10 times.

 

If he fights in Romania again, it will probably be against someone so-so, simply because if HBO would want to buy the fight, it would also want the fight not to be on tape delay.

Magee in Romania sounds more likely.

Ya -- and tomorrow morning little purple monkeys will crawl out of your ass while Ray Charles counts them.

 

I would love to see Bute in Romania but ... Brinkley / Magee . I wold prefer to see him on Tv fighting in germany usa canada wherever he needs to fight for WBO with Stieglitz or the IBO with Bika or a match with those like Pavlik , Hopkins , even Taylor. Something exciting

 

Two different (reputable) Montreal french media have confirmed this,

Bute to face Miranda, from the article:

"It will be a pleasure for me to come back home to the Bell Centre for the fifth defense of my title. I take Miranda very seriously, he's caused major damage to many big names in the division, he's a formidable puncher and I will have to stay vigilent the whole bout to remain champion." said Lucian Bute.

Bute and his trainer are leaving Quebec for a private isolated 8 week training retreat.

"At the risk of repeating myself, styles make fights, and once again we have a great match up that will cause alot of sparks and give the fans a great fight."

"We chose our opponent very patiently, we had many offers and took the time to study them properly, Stephan (trainer) and me. We want to propose quality events for the fans and that's what we'll get with Miranda coming to Montreal." said Jean Bédard, president of Le Groupe Sportscene inc

 

I saw something similar, but wasn't sure if the source was credible, so I didn't bring it up.

 

What? I believe he would. He is very outboxable. Dirrell and Ward would outbox him based on his style. Kessler and Abraham does everything Pavlik does better and Froch is too determined and would catch him. That is the closest one for me though.

 

Dirrel would get pressured back into a corner and knocked out.

About the 3rd time Ward threw one of his patented head butts Pavlik would plant a knee in his nuts and an elbow across his face. Fight fire with fire, and Ward would fold up like an accordion.

Kessler? Please show me some video of Kessler spinning an over hand right around into an uppercut, or at least some video of Kessler throwing a lead right/left uppercut combination. If you find the video, we can talk.

Abraham and Pavlik are polar oppisites. Saying Abraham does everything Pavlik does, but does it better, is just non-sense.

Froch is so easy to hit that Pavlik would have a field day. This one would not be competitive.

 

:happy:happy:good

 

Rafeal reported that it's a done deal. If Fat ******* says it, it's probably true!

 

good to hear, Pantera's gotta come through, as IMO this could be one of his last chances at a big Title fight
