Well RDS announced yesterday the same thing: Bute vs Pavlik more or less a done deal, it remains to be officially announced.Quote:

Everybody here (Bute included) would have preferred Kessler instead of Pavlik or Johnson, unfortunately Mikkel chose Stieglitz and the WBO belt. So at least this time is not Bute fault.Quote:

I don't think bite could handle too many over hand rights from johnson.
I mean froch took them so well but let's b honest froch iv noticed is blessed with calzaghe like recuperative powers so was able to fire back quick, not sure how bute would react as he would scrap with anyone
Fight would be november 6-7, so more or less 3 months after PAvilk's fight. Should give him way enough time to recover and to prepare.Quote:

As for Canoe, Everything by Quebecor is suspect but as for sports, they are normally damn pin point accurate. I and the Bute clan wanted Kessler too but the Vicking decided to go for Stieglitz... not much you can do in the circumstances.
Oh I never said I wouldn't wanna see Bute-PavlikQuote:
