I said the only way mikel can save face by backing out of the bute fight is if he fights stieglitz so i'm pleased with this. Bute now knows who's out there to face and it's pretty much between johnson, dirrell and pavlick from a credible opponent point of view. Anything less and he won't be viewed favourably.
Much better for Kessler to go into a fight with Bute and Ward/Froch with a title to his name and without ring rust. Good move to go with Stieglitz, whom he must take seriously. If Kessler can keep developing his body attack like we've seen against Froch and Bouadla it might compensate for the fact that he can't quite zip the combinations like he used to. I wish him all the best.
Kessler deserves to be in the mix at the 168 top I do think he and bute need to fight after this to determine who gets ward/froch.
