Apparently, Chavez mentionned it on twitter!? :blood:think That's what I read on another boxing forum.
This could be another loss for Julio Jr. Bute is still too skilled for Julio Jr. But it's a more even fight than the Fonfara match.
Bute seems to have come alive since rds 9-10 of his last fight with Pascal. Might be he's regaining confidence in his chin:think If he does, he MIGHT have another title run in his blood. But not vs Kovalev. Brahmer and Stevenson would be easy marks though for the Bute of ole':good
Perhaps Bute could make another run at the 168lbs division. there is no clear dominant figure at the moment. Ward has been out for ever. Froch is on his way out. Badou Jack is very beatable. So are Abraham and Stieglitz.
Based on the last fight Bute had, where he decided to reside in gunshy city, Chavez jr should win this easily. If he doesn't then he should consider retiring.
Bute should take on Stevenson. I don't want Chavez Jr. Any substance to this or is only negociation started from Chavez Jr's camp?
