Bute met the press today in Montreal. Last apparition until about two weeks. He said preliminary talks have been engaged for a Bute-Kessler fight on spring 2010. In the mean time, he could do another optional defense before the rematch against Andrade, if both boxers win their next fight. Interbox would look for a boxer who has the same style as Andrade. Lucian also said he's in very good shape.
IF Bute beats Zuniga, whom will Bute face next, if he is allowed to squeeze in another voluntary before Andrade? Who is that guy who fights like Andrade?:huh
I hope you're joking. Oganov is a bum-level punching bag. He's a solid C level at best, nothing more.
I don't think that will happen. "That guy who fights like Andrade" will be busy cleaning out his own division.:yep
Heavy hands...? I thought they wanted an aggressive pressure fighter. Isn't Miranda chasing Froch, anyway?:think
I agree...I can't think of anyone either. They wanted Lacy, but Lacy didn't fancy it and I'm not sure he'll have changed his mind.
I thought your reference to "that guy who fights like Andrade" was a back handed reference to Pavlik. I think KP is at least half a notch higher than Andrade over all, but there are a lot of similarities.
Good video that was on the news yesterdy. http://www.radio-canada.ca/sports/PlusSports/2009/02/21/001-previewbute-cote.shtml
