Sherro v Bute??????

If Les is given a proper amount of time to train for this fight then why not, this chance may not come around again and it could be a decent earn for him, plus sponsorship dollars etc.. it is hard to see him taking Bute out but the cash and the international exposure are ++ for Les

 

I was in contact with Interbox, Bute's promoters. An offer was received. Bute may well be moving in a different direction now that Bika v Brinkley has fallen apart. I've also been in contact with a number of other fighters in relation to Les.

 

Just think Les was last year fighting for little $ now he is being offered good $ overseas ! Good on him and his management!
and one in a million what a comment good luck to Les and his team for having a go!

 

Things are definitely looking up for Sherro at the moment. Hopefully the momentum can continue.

 

The guy should take the fight for a shot at a genuine world title against a top 20 p4p fighter and a decent payday BUT he will be embarrassed in the ring by Bute.

 

It would all depend on what he was getting offered to do it... Time is on his side.

 

The big punt though Ash is that if Les gets stopped in the 1st or 2nd round, the arse falls out of his stocks.
It's a huge task to jump onto the world stage against a seasoned elite fighter who needs no "settling" time.
As I was once told by a victim of this scenario. "There was just so much going on. Everything was strange. Weird hours. All sorts of stuff as well. I should have been there 2 months earlier"

If Les goes the distance, loses on close points against Sakio for example, he would be a better attraction to top tenners because they don't want to fight Sakio & the points loss makes Les a credible opponent to a wider market.

Close points losses don't mean much in many cases because they are often considered just a judges opinion, & the history of boxing relates that they are not always genuine & fair

 

Well said robin
i think les is a young guy why push so early there are some great fights out there for him to build him to a possible mundine show down!

 

What has that got to do with who Les is as a person? Les is an absolutely smashing guy.....

 

No mate, it was Vito Gaudiosi V Richie Woodhall.


I dislike presenting programs for fighters in forums because nothing irks a trainer more than someone telling them how to do what they get up every morning for.
My point is that with all the deck chair shuffling that goes on these days, it's hard to find the type of opponents that allows that "Steady progress" we all talk about.

It takes a lot more finesse & compatibilty to keep idling & stepping up fluidly, to say nothing of the financial cost.

I will say this. Boxing is a cruel game. One never knows if the next fight is the last, at any stage of a fighters career.

"Cruel" trainers get bagged every day, but the difference is that when a trainer knows that the technique & the talent is there, & it's all up to refinement & experience, he can match his boy (up) with a clear conscience, & knows a loss isn't the end of the world, it's to be expected. And when that happens, the next few fights determines the level he fights at.

I prefer to be referred to as Mr Trampler, thank you. :yep You have a pretty good source Ash, not much gets past you.

 

Certainly a tricky one. As someone stated above, sometimes these chances don't come a second time.

Aussie fighters used to be renowned for stepping up and having a crack in days gone by - think Ellis v Kil Yuh for a world title at 19, just as an example.

 

Bute's promoter is exploring all their options. Since Stieglitz can't find his balls. They'll need to find someone else to tango. They probably made similar "offers" to every IBF Top15 contenders that isn't in the Super 6.
