    dorin was way older when he started and he wasn't a sergio martinez kind of guy.he done well for himself judging by the age he went professional and i think interbox did a hell of a good job with his career.there is no trash talk about dorins career like there is about bute

    The problem is: is it in Ward's one? Obviously no, Showtime guys have said this week end said both parties had to reach an agreement together. I suppose that Showtime engaged themselves to air the fight if a deal is don. Ward can do what he wants.

    Mendy was not part of the Showtime contract. As for the optional fight, we don't know how it can be raised. If Bute wants to? If Showtime wants to? If both wants to?

    Mid-April is soon. Fortunately, his swollen hand is not broken.

    I think the hardest oponent for Bute would be Dawson.

    i smell a fight with the loser of super6 then.isn't this guy hershman who came up with super 6 and later signed bute for showtime? he wouldn't want the grand reunification fight on showtime if he left for hbo.so it's likely hbo will try to ruin the reunification fight a bit so they can have it

    Hershman will indeed be with HBO but he officially can't work for them until January.

    This would be satisfactory if Ward wins. Ward rematches Kessler (who may have WBO belt) to prove he can beat a healthier Kessler in a clean fight. Bute fights loser Froch to prove he can beat him too then Bute/Ward (or Froch/Ward rematch if Froch beat Bute)

    If Froch wins S6 i see him wanting a Kessler rematch before Bute then hopefully Bute. If he beat Kessler i could also see him moving up to LHW for Pascal rematch and avoiding Bute saying he isn't worthy.

    Either way Bute securing a fight vs the S6 winner in not a guarentee and i don't see him getting the fight right after the final as both guys will probably want Kessler first with Bute taking on the S6 final loser.

    when he say that?
