To top it off, Bute is the champion! (4) As the champ, he doesn't have to go anywhere. Frankly, you can't ask for anything more from a champion. It's the kind of move that should make fans. Froch did the same type of thing when he came to the US to face Taylor as the champion, and it made me a Froch fan. Even those that dislike Bute-Finito, Erics44, Miles, among others-must credit Bute here.

Erics44 - How about a sigbet, my good man?
i dont dislike him matey, in fact i quite like him, he has an exciting style, you usually get fireworks

he's just massively overrated, people are getting well ahead of themselves with him, ive seen it so many times before when a fighter looks good against the second and third tier of fighters and then comes up against someone at the top and comes unstuck

it will be the easiest sig ive ever won
