Bute`s next three matches in order and why.

Hmm,
I dont see Pavlik having a chance against Bute. If he did have a chance it would have shown in the Martinez fight. I see bute putting Pavlik down to the canvas at least.
Side note - Pavlik lost against Martinez but would have beat Williams.

Both Dirrel and Ward are LHW fighting at SMW.
Bute also seems to be a LHW fighting at SMW. Dirrel could have KO'd Froch their fight but didnt have the instincts to do it. Bute does so I don't see Froch having much of a chance agaisnt Bute. Kessler is shot. (so it seems) AA ... always a wild card.

Green. No one is giving him a chance. . .
Remember he didnt run against Miranda (like Ward) and that he went straight into the hospital for surgery afterward (unrelated to fight) I have a feeling he is going to catch Ward with a hook and make Ward double think. BUT we have to wait to see who shows up.

Bute already beat Bika.
Not much of a fight there. Poor Bika. And so TV friendly to boot.

maybe take Stieglitz belt ?

All in all the 168 division is as hot as 140

 

He beats all 3. I don't see him being outboxed at 168, the guy is too slick with alot of power. I think it would take a puncher to beat him.

 

iI think he was referring to their physique rather than their skills

 

Bute will beat all three. He is extremely underrated.

 

i hope he showcases his underrated skill against better opponents

 

Me too.

 

Binkley in September (possibly in Romania) is a no brainer. The Hopkins option is stiill viable based on what I heard from people in Bute's entourage.

Pavlik was an likely option until his stock took a fall against SGM.

A Bika rematch brings very little to the table. Bute is a much more accomplished fighter now than he was when he beat Bika.

Dirrell? Maybe. Heard nothing about that.

 

If Dirrell loses against Ward, his promotor will give him at least one easy fight. If he wins against Ward and is out of the super 6 (because Froch wins against Abraham), he could take Bute right after the super six.

Both Dirrell winning against Ward and Froch against Abraham are unlikely to happen.

If Dirrell wins against Ward and Froch loses to Abraham, Froch is out of the tournament. At his age, he could choose to face Bute. Froch doesn't have much time in front of him.

We'll see. Ward-Green first.

 

One thing for sure, if the Froch-Abraham fight is done in Montreal, I'll see your boy get KO'd live!:deal

 

If Froch loses to Abraham in a bad way, two things might happen:

1) He'll retire from boxing

2) He'll go up to 175, knowing full well he has no chance against Bute.
