Stevenson's promoter: "If Bute-Froch doesn't come off, Bute must fight Superman"

That's one more reason I'd like the Bute-Froch fight to be announced this week. There is a gulf of disparity in terms of skills between Bute & Stevenson.

"En point de presse, le promoteur Yvon Michel a confirmé qu'à défaut d'en venir à une entente pour la présentation du combat entre Bute et Carl Froch, qui se trouve actuellement en négociation, le champion Lucian Bute serait tenu d'affronter Adonis Stevenson. "


-During the post fight presser, promoter Yvon Michel (who also promotes Jean Pascal) confirmed that if an agreement could not be reached regarding a Bute-Froch fight, which is currently pending negotiations, champion Lucian Bute would be forced to face Adonis Stevenson.


What do you guys think? Would limited Superman have a chance at finding Bute? Is Stevenson the new David Lemieux in Montreal?

:think

 

A lot of fe-fans in QC are calling for Bute to look at making big domestic fights instead of going for Ward or Froch. Nonsense.

Bute has bigger fish to fry, this fight would hurt his credibility. Big step down from Johnson, look at Stevenson's defense & footwork.

 

So, Kessler-Abraham in the works is pure speculation?? It's... "reaching"?

Let's wait & see.

 

I know, but it gives Froch/Hearn leverage, if money was a point left in the balance for contract signing.

As in, "Hey Jean, you know if you don't sign with us, the IBF and GYM will force local pimp Stevenson upon Bute, right?"...

 

It makes sense financially if Abraham calls it a career afterwards.

You're in denial, you want Kessler-Ward II soooo much. :?
