    Get your facts straight... Kessler said that Bute was being hyped/backed by Showtime. We all know that, so no news or disrespect there.

    If you has multiple possibilities and choose one instead of the other you could be narrow minded and see this as ducking.
    In the end Saurland had two opportunties (Bute and Stieglitz) and as it seems choose the later.

    The main thing you are forgetting: Sauerland doesn't have the rights to organize a Kessler-Stieglitz fight. He'll have to win it in a purse bid. The mandatory gets usually way less money than the champion (with the IBF, it's 70% for the champion). Kessler receiving more money for a fight against Stieglitz is far from being proven.

    What do you think Kessler made when he fought Ward? There were only a few thousand people live. He received 500 000$ from Showtime and kept the European TV rights. Logically, Bute offers him more money, because he receives 2 millions from Showtime for that purpose, and logically he leaves the TV rights to Kessler, keeping the Canadian ones. That means more money than the super 6. The gate here is as good here as in Denmark.

    If you have multiple possibilities and you do not choose the best option, that is ducking. I hope Showtime forgives Dirrell and Interbox accepts him as a challenger in spite of his history; Dirrel has more of the tools to be a greater challenge then Kessler; hell i'll even say Dirrell chances would be 60%-40% against Kessler .

    Ward is not a southpaw?

    Best option based on what? As it is right now Stieglitz and Bute grands Kessler the same leverage for future fights. Saurland wants a title and with Stieglitz there is a strong possibillity that the fight could take place in Denmark. This is all about stacking the odds in your favour.
    As management goes a 50-50 fight with Bute seems less tempting than a 70-30 fight with Stieglitz at this time.

    Everybody should in fact be happy that Kessler claims the WBO belt from Stieglitz, this means that we are a lot closer to have an undisputed champion at SMW some time next year.

    For that, Sauerland has to make an offer. Talk is cheap. Things were agreed when they were in Montreal. Suddenly, they go the Stieglitz way and pretend that it is because of the offer Interbox made them, even if they didn't answer to it. That is bull**** written all over.

    Best option in terms of opponent. You know, what fans are supposed to want? Bute is the third best SMW in terms of ranking. I've never heard anybody pretend that Stieglitz is a better opponent than Bute. Don't do that, people will laugh at you.

    Bute-Kessler, then the winner against the super 6 winner. I don't care about the WBO strap. It doesn't bring any credibility to the unified champion. Stieglitz has been beaten by an opponent beaten by both Bute and Kessler.

    Tbh we all know if Bute vs Kessler ever come to be, it will be Kessler going to Canada to fight Bute and NOT Bute leaving Canada, so plz stop this ducking crap.
    That said I got or rather had all the respect in the world for Bute until he got saved by the home ref in the first Andrade fight, imo he would have been better off with the defeat in the first fight than the robbery win.

    I know some extreme Bute fans like Iaffie will claim Bute will go to Denmark lol (makes me miss Decebal a lot, a Bute fan who was also a boxing fan and realist), I'll just say what we all know inside, Bute will NEVER fight Ward in USA, Froch in UK or Kessler in Denmark or Germany.
