Comments Thread For: Lucian Bute's HBO Return May Battle The Super Six

Bute is snookered.

There is nobody that special for him to fight.

I'm fairly sure he would despatch Green. Not all that interesting. Bute could be special but he is going to have a tough time proving it.

I'd like to see him and Dawson go at it. Bute may as well move up to 175 because all the best 168 pounders are in that tourney.

Paul Smith is going to end up getting a title shot at Steiglitz if he can avoid losing to Tony 'shot to ****' Dodson.

Imagine if Paul Smith became a world champion by virtue of this tournament, it would be hilarious.

What? you've beaten the 5 best super-middleweights out there? Bute has moved up. I think you've cleaned up. But, there is this one guy. He was sent home from the contender series for being a boring or something, you won't remember him. He is known as Paul. Paul Smith. The last man standing.

It will probably end up being Bute Vs. Allan Green unless they get a light heavyweight or middleweight.


I really hate counter programing though, why make Boxing fans choose? Better if they did it a week before or a week after.

It's gotta be Miranda or Green. Not a lot of interesting fights left for him wiith Super Sx happening.

I think the head to head thing works this time because Bute should really be in the Super 6 anyway.

The pickins are slim for Bute right now. I find it interesting on how HBO is marketing Bute. They had 0 interest in him before, but now that the super 6 is under way, they really want to hold on to him.

I think the reason is to steal away the eventual S6 winner from Showtime and creating an HBO superfight with Bute. They are letting Showtime spend the money, time and effort and then they plan on swooping in when showtime's finances are diminished from the Super 6 itself.

That's probably it.

And they'll likely want Bute to fight the winner of Stieglitz-Miranda next, he'll be a bigger name with TWO world titles.

I never thought of that bro. You are probably right on the money. He takes the winner of that one easy.
