If Taylor could put Froch down i don't see why Bute couldn't! Froch his perfect for Bute . Bute could take the best punch of Berrio and Bika so i don't see Froch knock him out and its clear that Carl would never out boxe Bute! Bute KO 10
It would be much better if Dirrell goes to Europe to get the WBO strap from Balzsay and then fights Bute for a unification!
According to this article. Right now it's between Former WBA champion, Manny Siaca, Joe Spina and american prospect Curtis Stevens. I think if I had to choose between those 3 I'd go with Stevens. At least he is young, aggressive and hungry. Siaca would only come to pick up his money and Spina is a total bum.
Yes, that fight was really BORING. Dirrell just refused to fight. He ran all night. Stevens won 3 time since that fight. He stopped Don Mouton's good winning streak in his last fight. He's not the most deserving guy but he is a LOT better then Joe Spina. Stevens was a pretty good amateur boxer. I believe he won the Golden Gloves at 175lbs. The only problem with a Bute-Stevens fight is Stevens is really really short (6'2" vs. 5'7").
