translation - this should be an easy fight for me, no real risk as I wait for bigger fights to emerge.

Well if he doesn't, he could end up doing a surf board imitation.

Miranda is a big puncher, he should take him seriously. I still don't see Miranda causing Bute much trouble though.. Bute wins by TKO in a fight he dominates.

I'm glad Bute is taking Miranda seriously,because nobody else does...
It would have been better to see Lucian in the Super 6...

[Danny Gunz]

well i would ****ing hope so he takes it seriously

[Mighty_Windir]

Miranda by TKO, because I'm sure he's not going to win a decision.

[The Hammer]

Miranda by TKO, because I'm sure he's not going to win a decision.

Bute is a far better boxer and will outland him 3 to 1 and likely win every round.

Miranda is out of his league

Well, Bute better take him seriously because any contender can be a threat at this level but, let's not get carried away: this should be an easy fight for Bute. Lucian is just much better all around than Miranda. I don't know how much Miranda was able to change is game in the last few months but I don't see him becoming slick in just 6 months... He's a ****er and Bute has fought quite a few ****ers within the last few years (Andrade, Zuniga, Berrio and Bika). So this fight is nothing new to him. I expect him to dominate Miranda and crush him within 8 or 9 rounds. This is a bit sad for Miranda but his only chance at beating Lucian is to get lucky and I don't think he will.

Bute by KO.
