Thread: Brian Magee v Lucian Bute - March 19th

Brian Magee is set to challenge IBF super-middleweight champion Lucian Bute for his world title in Canada on 19 March

Magee had been expected to fight for the WBA version of the title in January after being named as a mandatory challenger to Dimitry Sartison.

Sweet

Bute should stop him.

Nice to see Lucian Bute is stepping up and taking risks. Magee gave the prizefighter winner Tony Oakey a very tough fight indeed...

It's a big test. I think if he wins, him and Donaire but a bit of breating space between them and the competition on the p4p rankings.

It certainly shows that he is prepared to take risks.

I only hope that if he does get past Magee that he takes on the man we all want to see him fight. Of course I'm talking about the dangerous puncher and Mundine conquerer, the Australian contender champion Garth Wood.

I actually think Bute could win both fights, but I just worry that the wear and tear accumulated on him through a succession of such brutal fights might mean he is past his best by the time the winner of the Supersix Tourny is announced.

I'd hate for Bute to lose to the winner of that because of the quality of opposition he has had to face whilst waiting for them to stop pissing around and come up with an opponent for him.

Bute via annihilation.

Bute hasn' been close to tested since his first fight with Andrade.

Hopefully he will fight someone of his caliber after this fight.
