the source...

they say he could POSSIBLY fight Brian Magee

I don't really know the guy, I think he's euro champ, I'll have to check him.

Is he any good ?

[FloydTBE]

another bum for him to figh then

Another bum.... I'm really disappointed by Bute right now

[onechance87]

never heard of him,Must not be good.I think prospect degale was suppose
to fight him.Meaning bute should not be fighting this guy.

to be fair, the semis haven't happened yet, Dirrell is injured, Kessler is injured, Taylor is semi-retired, Stieglitz is a puzzy

so who does that leave available ?

that's why it's all speculation for now

as for Magee, his record isn't very impressive

he has beaten Cherifi, former middleweight, and Mad Larsen, once a highly regarded prospect I believe

his losses are to Reid, Tsypko... and Froch (KO11)

I don't have any issue with Bute fighting this guy, but I really wish Showtime wouldn't have signed him to the 3 fight deal. Would have much rather seen a few strawweight/flyweight fights on Showtime for the cost of this throwaway fight.

It seemed no one else saw the downsides of this 3 fight deal besides me.

Jean Pascal called him numerous times, Bute has always declined, maybe Martinez, if he wants to move up. I can't believe they can find better opponents than Magee and Brinlkey...

I see the upside : Bute will be fighting Super sixers (...) in his next 2 bouts
