3 matches for Bute in 2011

[Tiozzo]

Just saw Bute's press-conference and he said that his staff is planning, a 2011 year with 3 matches. He said that, they are close in agreeing a deal with Kelly Pavlik. The other 2 names, will possibly be revealed in a few weeks.

how is that possible ?

if Bute really intends to fight the super 6 winner at the end of 2011, I can't see how they can come up with 3 names for 2011 in a few weeks

Pavlik aint that much better an opponent. He just has name value

[-PANDA-]

Brinkley was defense minded and was moving his head, that's why

anyway, Bute knocked him out 3 times in one fight

he knocked him down 3 times

anyway brinkley got up two times which is more often than miranda or andrade were getting up...

the kid was fighting on pure heart

Bute will have a field day with him, but at least he's a former champion and he's better than both Miranda and Andrade

I obviously meant that Brinkley was lucky he had the opportunity to get up and recover 2 times out of 3 (tape on the glove, bell,...)

the first count was horribly long

Bute/Pavlik is not close to done, and I do not think it will happen. Just yesterday Cameron Dunkin told Dan Rafeal that Pavlik's first choice after Vera is Sergio Martinez. It does not matter what you or I think, and what Bute wants is irrelevant. Kelly Pavlik believes he lost to Martinez for all the wrong reasons, and he wants revenge.

Of course, everything depends on the weight. Pavlik started camp lighter than he has in years, and was already down to 168 a couple weeks ago. I personally would not want to be in the ring with a focused, determined, healthy, revenge hunting Pavlik!

I really have no idea how this will all turn out. I guess we'll have to "weight" and see.
