Is Showtime looking to set up Bute vs Dirrell?

[William Blake]

They turned down Bute vs Froch, and said that they would prefer to see Bute vs an American. Andre Dirrell seems like he would be the most logical choice. I wonder if this is what Showtime is pushing for.

This would be an excellent opportunity for both fighters and I hope the fight pushes through.

Dirrell will be as fast as anyone Bute has had. And Bute is very slick and heavy handed himself. This would be a cracking fight.

Earn his shot at Bute? Beat a top ranked fighter? Who the **** has Bute beaten? Dirrell fighting Abraham and Froch shi/ts on anything Bute has ever done in his career.

no

Dirrell running for 6 rounds against Froch and faking a KO against AA doesn't **** on anything but his own record and reputation
