Next time you American posters complain about Joppy as an opponent for Bute...

all are far tougher opponents than a shot joppy. andrade, stieglitz would be his mandatory.........but that doesnt mean he cant fight them right away. no law against it.

zuniga just ko´d an unbeaten russian (on tv) and would certainly fight again at 168 if offered a shot.

bika is well known in the usa after the contender.......and you bet your ass the tv networks would buy this.

and mendy has also fought on US tv........including a draw that should have been a win for him vs anthony hanshaw:yep.

mendy is a really good fighter.........better than anyone bute has met. he would give him hell.

but as i said: all are tough fighters............not jokes like a shot joppy.

that can get one thinking ???

 

you have never seen jean paul mendy fight, have you??

he is probably the darkhorse of the super middleweights.

and i doubt mendy was tried for by butes team. mendy has been longing to get into the ring with anyone........he has trouble getting fights (reason: a hard hitting southpaw with a good chin and a high workrate.....yet no big name. draw your own conclusions). he would have taken that fight in a second.......no matter how small the purse.

zuniga would have too, no question.

and stieglitz and andrade would have accepted also.

but bute obviously doesnt want to fight them. he rather fights a shot joppy.
draw your own conclusion.

 

ay, Zuniga would have been the perfect oppoenent

 

I think Bumdujour just doesn't know what he's talking about. He's judging Bute and his team without knowing any of their efforts to find a decent opponent. The list of who refused, who were injured, who already had a bout, etc, is incredible. Mister du Jour has the right not to like Bute. Maybe just try to be informed before writing false statements.

 

Bute needs to go to the States and fight bums before he makes a name for himself. Then, and only then will he deserve to get in the ring with Alan Greens. I can't believe he can get away with hiding in (Bonjour!) Quebec and being overprotected.

 

I don't know anything of Bute/Zuniga relations, but I will say that Zuniga is a much better fighter than he is generally given credit for around here too.

 

but you newbie are an insider on team butes efforts

 

Come on!!! Everybody knows in the business of boxing that the first defense is always a gimme. Every promoters want a return on their investment after putting so much money to develop a champion. It costs around 100K to bring a boxer to the top. Now, the promoter
just want to cash on his boxer new champ status for a fight or two.

Joppy has a shot! Fair enough! Bute and Interbox will make easy money by putting around 14 000 people in the arena. Then let's move on to the next fight!

 

I'm not complaining mate....and I'm not sure why...so simma down na
Go Bute

 

where is joppy:hey
