Bute would retire Popkins.

[THE_BIG_HURT]

they talked about it here as a possibility before. Didnt know this was confirmed however.
Is this true?

A big risk low gain fight for bute imo. If we wins people will say hopkins showed his age (guy is 44 or 45 for christ sake) and if he loses then he loses his spot as the frontrunner to the super six winner. Fight another fight with andrade in montreal i say and he can get a good turnout and interest.
