Dawson said himself he could make 168, so a 170 catchweight is fair. I'm leaning towards Bute on the strength of his last performance, Dawson needs to fight someone less than half his age for once.
This would be a great fight for these two. Dawson is finding it tough to find a good opponent in LHW and Bute hasn't got much to choose from now that he's outside the Super 6 looking in. If they fight and it is exciting the could even get a rematch out of it, or the winner faces Pavlik ect.
Pascal-Dawson is almost a done deal for June the 19th. Bute's promoter has already booked the Bell Center for April the 17th, which doesn't give enough tie to Dawson to face both men. It's a fight that has to happen though, sooner or later.
