He could've done a home coming defense against a bum and that would've been okay?

This is his first defense and he is taking his belt to a foreign country in the challenger's back yard. Not to mention he won it in an away fight.

Boxing Bute in Quebec is like going up vs Chavez Jr (or a popular Mexican) in Cali or Texas.

Who would you have wanted anyways?

So, because the judges could rob him, that makes it a legit challenge??? Are you fekkin serious? Bute's legacy is getting ****d by Froch and losing to a washed up Pasqual. Don't skirt around the truth here.
