Crap, what a fight!

Call me a cynic but i cant see this coming off. If it does it will be an awesome match up , boxer vs the pressure fighter. The thing about this one is the level at which it would be fought. Both guys are very good at what they do. Plus, they both can crack.

This is another fight to get excited about if it gets signed.

Yeah. 750K would be a career payday for him. He wont get an offer that high though.

Why did Pavlik make like 2.35 mil against Gary Lockett? Is it because his name was established because he beat taylor? If Cloud beats Bute will he be rolling into the big money after an impressive win like that?

well, a catchweight is to be expected...

You are underestimating Cloud. You need to watch some of his fights.

i've seen all of his televised fights. not too impressed aside from when he wobbled johnson. i didn't even think he beat johnson (i had it a draw). mack gave him all kinds of problems and i even had mack ahead going into the 7th or whatever round he got KO'd in. i consider bute to be a lot better than mack. and if cloud has fought a worthwhile southpaw, i'm not familiar with the fight.

hope it gets made

My guess is Bute stays at 168 and fights Dirrell, there is no reason for Bute to move up yet.

Thats going to be an interesting match-up, but it could look like two guys running in circles.
