    Yes but doubt that will happen for the time being.....
    Bute needs to get on an HBO undercard, the sooner, the better !

    He could maybe get a shot at Lacy on the 31st of May on the Mosley v. Judah card - HBO PPV. Bute said he was looking to have an optional defense in May; Lacy has no opponent yet on that date...

    If they let Lacy face Bute, I believe GBP have pretty much given up on Lacy's career... That would nevertheless be huge for Bute's profile no doubt !!

    Andrade is with GBP too. If he beats Stieglitz as expected, he would be Bute's mandatory. Maybe GBP will feed Lacy to Bute hoping that Andrade's pressure would take Bute apart. If Andrade beat Bute, after Bute beat Lacy...Andrade would be huge. Wait and see.

    I truly believe that's the best scenario possible for Bute's career ! After such 2 fights, the only thing he would have to look forward to is unification or Kessler ! I don't see Andrade or Lacy winning if Bute keeps his poise in there with them !!

    Yeah...it would allow Bute more time to develop too, whilst beating up American names...Joppy, Lacy, Andrade and another voluntary defence at the end of the year, if he remain unbeaten - Taylor/Miranda maybe, or maybe another good-feel easy defence...

    Then, in 2009...if he remains unbeaten - the big fights - Taylor, unification with WBA or WBC champ, Kessler...

    Win or lose, that would be awesome.

    One thing's for sure...Interbox have to forget about going to
    Europe !!:roll:
    The money is with HBO and if he beats big names in America, unification should afterwards, normally take place in America !!

    Indeed. Kessler is bound to have a belt by then. He wants to fight in the USA too.
