    Maxime/Decebel: Do you have any news on the condition of Berrio? Last I saw of him was when his head was sent flying back to an impossible position. Is he alive/dead/headless?

    i did not know he had to beat hauessler.
    he wont .

    but i place hauessler and sannavia in the same boat and the germans should let hauessler take a fight v bute in canada as it will be the only chance he will get, being that he is a limited fighter, albeit not as limited as sannavia , but they are 2 peas from the same pod.

    short/no power/high workrate/catch them clean and they both go, albeit haessler has more grit and a better ddefense than sannavia.

    both will suit bute .

    Sanavia, Andrade & Tsypko would indeed be a good first year for a young new champion like Bute.

    Right now the front runner is the Europan 168lbs champion, Cristian Sanavia (40-3-0). But he has to win his December 8th fight against Danilo Haussler first.

    Both his fans and Bute himself want him to get some more experience and erradicate some flaws before stepping it up in 2009...he has a year to make some good fights and get experience...after that, he will have to make his fights count a lot, I think...he will have to go for the best in the division, win or lose...sometime in 2009.

    I presume Bute will want to fight the winner of Sanavia/Haussler...if the winner declines, Maxime mentioned Stjepan Bozic as a stand in...

    Indeed, I'm sure both man are on the list of possible opponents. Haussler wasn't mentionned yet because he's not ranked in the top15 of the IBF. But he would be after beating Sanavia.

    I couldn't find anything on him...I think he's fine...he was "fine" a couple of minutes after Bute made his victory speech...let's hope he is fine, anyway...I expect he will take a long break though...

    nope definatley should not take that fight.

    will not give him any credibilty at all.

    at least haussler and sannavia have names against other fighters in the division , sannavia even being an ex champ.

    it will lead to tocker pudwell type jokes about bute.

    Honestly, I don't beleive Bozic's name was actualy mentionned by Interbox. Me and others we just assumed it was Bozic base one the fact they mentionned on of the fighters would be ranked when the ranking are updated. Since Bozic was scheduled to fight for a minor IBF title and just beat Lolenga Mock. We figured he was the guy. But now that his next fight was rescheduled for may 2008. I'm not so sure anymore.

    "The guy" could be Danilo Haussler instead.

    Do you think InterBox would be able to reel someone in at short notice who is better than Bozic, but who wouldn't provide a big thread to Bute? If not, should they not let But fight in February at all? Or should they try to put him in with someone dangerous in the first optional defense?

    His trainer, Larouche said he wanted a fight that would let Bute gain some experience and make him look good, but not someone who would derail his career by providing too big a challenge, whilst still being a name boxing fans would heave heard of...

    manfredo
    zuniga
    banks



    would all take the fight on short notice and would be acceptable to both intervbox and american tv and fit interbox criteria and be better marketabilty for bute.

    Zuniga I like more than anyone, including Sanavia...but isn't he a bit too dangerous as a first optional defense? Manfredo...:-( ...I would cry like a child if Bute fought Manfredo...let him do well against Lacy first and then we will see whether he's worth mentioning...Banks? Isn't he that bodybuilder who lost to Manfredo and Paul Smith? I would stop supporting Bute if he fought Banks...:lol:

    nah zuniga would be a punching bag v bute style.

    manfredo and banks are names in america whereas bozic is just a name to american`s that would not mean anything.
