Reports: Lucian Bute will fight Jesse Brinkley next

[The Hammer]

Brinkley will make for a crowd-pleasing fight.

His chin isn't bad, he took some hard shots from Stevens without going down.

[Taranazan]

Heres my question,when is Bute going to man up and fight outside of Montreal,it is about time he stepped it up outside of his comfort zone.

When is Floyd figting out of Vegas, when is Andre Ward fighting out of California, when is Paul Williams fighting out the USA... want me to continue?

Why should Bute fight anywhere else, when he makes more money in Montreal?

[The Gambler1981]

Good for Brinkley, he has worked hard and been on a roll he deserves his shot.
That said Bute should bludgeon Brinkley two different levels of fighter but Brinkley earned his shot fair a square.

[AKATheMack]

Not a fight Im real excited about and it probably wont be very competitive, but its the best available option for Bute.

jesse brinkley????lol

He defeated Curtis Stevens in an IBF eliminator.

[Mr. Ryan]

hate to say it but bute's gonna lose his edge taking these easy fights

Every other fighter of any class at 168 is tied up in the Super Six.

That said, I hope HBO spares us this mismatch and passes on this fight.

Jesse Brinkley earned the opportunity to fight Bute, but something has to be said about this.

[The Gambler1981]

Bute just better make it looks like Brinkley is not on his level and he should have no issue with such a task since that is the reality of the situation..

[check hook]

Brinkley will need a liver transoplant after this one..........
