Miranda to fight Bute, April 17th on HBO?

[Pantera2000]

Andre Ward would spark Bute..
Abraham would prolly KO him..
Dirrell would give him a good fight..
Froch would beat Bute..

Bute isn't all the way up there yet..his last performance was good...but let's not overrate him just yet..

Very good post. I wasnt sold on Bute till his last fight. But one fight doesn't make a fighter. I still say if Andrade can put Bute to sleep, Miranda can lay him out flat. He just needs to get that chance. Will Bute give it to him?

I would love Miranda to win, but I just don't think he has much of a chance.

I knew it! Miranda chickens out of the Stieglitz fight by reason of a slight cough. And all the time they had this deal of him fighting Bute instead on HBO.

Result: Stieglitz must scramble after a new opponent.

It's not the first time BTW. Miranda also made fools out of Kessler's people when warriors negotiated with Sauerland behind Kessler's back for a fight with Abraham in a shady deal instead.

When will it ever get old?!?!?

I'm just pulling your leg buddy.

I'm really happy for Miranda that he got another shot. Still I wish he had gotten a fight with Stieglitz instead as that fight was winnable. I'm quite sure Miranda will be soundly beaten by Bute.

But I hope he wins!

People tend to forget that in Bute-Andrade II, Andrade was coming on and landing some solid shots up the KO and it looked like fight was heading in the direction as the first. Bute should be able to outbox him but Miranda shouldn't counted out because I'm honestly not sure Bute will be able to handle his power based on what Andrade did to him but KO is the only way I see Miranda being able to win.

BUMP

Is the fight signed?

From what I hear, it was 50-50 between Miranda and Brinkley for Bute's next fight. Hopefully it's Miranda!

I am hearing that now that Stieglitz found another opponent and not rescheduling the fight with Miranda, it is very likely that HBO will push for Bute and Miranda to fight on April 17th.

Most people are not giving Miranda much to a chance in this fight. However, with Goossen in his corner, there may be some new tricks up his sleeve we havent seen yet. If the aggressive Miranda from Eastman/Abraham I shows up with better defense and more weapons, could he pull of the upset?

eeexcellent news...thanks for sharing

I'd like to bet with you...

I'll take Bute, any amount you want.
