Lucian Bute v Sakio Bika

[number6]

I think Bute should fight Berrio for the IBF title since he is the mandatory now. Although I'm still not confident he would defeat Calzaghe or Kessler, he's probably better than Berrio.

There's five really good fighters at super middleweight, well above the rest: Inkin, Froch, Calzaghe, Kessler and Bute. When Miranda, Taylor, Pavlik and maybe Wright move up, there's going to be a LOT of great battles.

Calzaghe v Pavlik,can you imagine how many punches would be thrown in this fight.

Bute showed good skill, had fast hands, and worked from the outside very well. Even though Bika looked good in the later rounds against Calzaghe and Bute swept Bika in the late rounds, I don't think Bute is ready for the caliber of Joe yet. He took a few rounds to figure out Bika and against Joe that might not work. Plus Joe has a higher workrate and I could see him winning rounds against Bute because he throws more. Give Bute a few more fight against the higher ranked opponents or lesser belt holders and then he might have a chance against the like of Calzaghe and Kessler.

yes bute showed good skill against his first top ten smwt bika fight.but feel he's way to green yet to leave canada and take on the big boys. he could use some more expierience in his corner i think.
