    IBF super-middleweight champion Lucian Bute has no problems in welcoming former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor to the 168 pound division trainer Stephane Larouche told Fightnews Sunday. Taylor who lost a decision to Kelly Pavlik at a catch weight of 166 pounds Saturday had his promoter Lou DiBella say afterwards that the former Olympian would be making the move to super-middle and that his next fight would be on cable giant HBO.

    This would be an excellent fight for boxing
    It gives Bute the much needed respect and exposure...same goes for Taylor.....I would like to see Taylor-Miranda first with the winner(Taylor in my mind) fighting Bute by the end of the year:good

    Andrade...I wish I knew more about him....I've only seen him being pummeled by Kessler...and while it's understood that he has a chin of Iron...I havent noticed a solid skillset from the guy....Should Bute be worried about Andrade??
    and have you seen him do more than just get pummeled??

    Thanks Decebal:good I was impressed by both fighters...Mack and Andrade
    Andrade needs a solid quick jab...needs to keep his hands up...once he's in the pocket he does great, mixes up punches very well...typical mexican warrior style he just needs some polish, defense and a good jab:good Mack did great until he started playing Andrades game on the inside but still had his moments...Andrades body attack did him in
    So again as a Bute fan are you worried??

    Not that worried. I think Bute can deal with Andrade's pressure and outbox him. Wouldn't be an esy fight, though...

    I am worried for Bute....I can see him getting caught up fighting Andrades fight.....the uppercut works well against Andrade who comes in with his head forward, no hands up:good
    How would you rate Butes whiskers?

    Had a change of heart and am going for Bute both ways, with some luck...with a hard fight against Pavlik...could lose this one on points easily.

    I can see Pavlik's jab easily winning him a wide decision over Bute. Also, I can see Taylor beating him to the punch and winning a close UD.

    I have picked very pro-Bute, I accept that. But Bute has a better chance than the poll suggests. I wanted to even out the score a bit.
