    Bute fights Mendy 1 month from now on 9th July in Bucharest, Romania at the Romexpo Dome.
    A Kessler vs Bute showdown soon in Danemark or Canada can be made and it will be a clash between two great SMW's with large following's . I hope Showtime will succeed.

    This is very feasable. However, the logical approach isn't always the preferred option.

    EDIT: Location for Butes next scrap is romania

    I personally would like to see Kessler vs Bute ASAP because Kessler isn't getting any younger and Bute wants to move up in weight. We also don't need another S6 scenario since those are 6 fighters mentioned. We would be waiting for a long time for to see the best face each other off and there could be possible injuries along the way.

    I think the sooner these fights come off it would be interesting to see some of the fighters go up in weight and face the best at 175.

    I would also love to see Pavlik and Martinez get in the mix right away if they can.

    You are right. We have waited enough, the hype on the division is already there. Stieglitz would bring a belt but no more credibility. Also, each fight can be Kessler's last one. His eyes were ok after the Bouadla fight, don't push your luck too far!

    Bute-Kessler winner faces the super 6 winner makes some very interesting fights.

    Kessler (and his promoter) wants Stieglitz not Bute...too dangerous.

    Kelly Pavlik is Ranked #1 WBC contender. So therefore He should be the Mandatory for Winner Of Super Six Correct?

    Kessler will fight whoever he is told to fight... that includes Bute... The question is if Bute will ever fight a top 3 SMW and will it be outside Montreal...

    That's for WBC to decide if Pavlik would become a mandatory contender or he needs an elimination match first with another high ranked contender. Anyway a unification bout can postpone a mandatory defense. There is also the fact that Kessler has the emeritus champion title so he can challenge the WBC champion before any other contender. Its quite complicated... :huh

    Yes, and entry prices are much higher in Denmark than Canada. If it was made with some German fighters it will be a hit in Germany too where Kessler is VERY popular after meeting several german fighters and now being in a German stable. So overall Copenhagen should make the most economic sense.

    Plus Bute really needs to travel for an important fight for once!
