Hopefully showtime will do Dirrell vs Bute, Dirrell wins easily.

Dirrell vs Ward end of the year, which is a huge event, which Dirrell wins again & becomes no.1 168lb fighter.

Ward - Bute is a cert now.

[booshay]

Bute is a coward he wants to fight an American...??????

That rules out Kessler..............

Unless its Ward hes an out right p*ssy

He dodged the super 6

He needs to get some balls he has skill...

But is wasting it fighting bums

[Larry the boss]

only reasonable answer is that they are holding out for Bute-Ward for a unification match

As if Showtime were in any position to reject fights lol. They basically beg for fights to be put on their little channel. They are nobodies in the boxing world lol. What about HBO?? Fuck showtime. They sukk anyways so it doesn't matter lol.
