    What the hell would he have done to warrant a title shot against Bute? I mean, at least Brinkley has fought for the #2 contender spot in an eliminator... Miranda has done nothing to warrant an IBF title fight. Maybe WBO... I think he's ranked like 6 or something by the WBO. That's the only belt not in the Super Six after the IBF that Bute holds. Andre Ward made him look silly as would Bute. Bute is fast, crafty and uses movement. Sound familiar?...

    Again.

    He should of never of punked out of the Robert Stieglitz fight. It was a loss for him. But at least he had more of a chance than he has against Bute.

    This was a great fight!

    Even though I was rooting for Brinkley I thought he would get caught early. Not in 50 seconds or anything like that but in the first 3-4 rounds. Full credit to him for standing in there and out-boxing & out-slugging Stevens.

    Being a fan of Jesse's I don't like the idea of him getting in there with Bute. Bute will beat him with ease barring a lucky shot. I think Jesse should target the WBO Champ Stieglitz or a rematch with Spina.

    I figured HBO would pick Miranda.

    I mean, I can't blame them... Miranda is exciting, has a chin and power in both hands as well as stamina... It'd be a fun fight to watch with Bute probably taking him out late or winning a wide decision...

    ...But as far as the IBF goes, like I said above, what the hell has Pantera done to warrant an IBF title shot besides being a name? WBO... yes, he's a highly ranked contender in their rankings but Brinkley has earned the payday.

    Bute will completely outbox Brinkley or Miranda. Bad fight for Miranda if he wants to remain on HBO or Showtime. I agree that Brinkley deserves the shot although he will be thoroughly outclassed.

    Bute is between a rock and a hard place. Who can Bute fight? No one outside of the Super Six would be remotely competitive at 168. Even outside of his weight class, there isn't much out there. Pavlik has enough to keep him busy for the next while with Martinez and Williams. Hopkins will fight Roy and retire. Pascal is set to fight Dawson in his next fight. I'm pretty sure Diaconu and Bute are friends because of their shared heritage and woudn't fight. Am I missing someone?

    I was about to say something nasty about Brinkley, but thank goodness for research. I was thinking about Anthony Bonsante. I remember Allan Green trouncing him and as Bonsante crawled off the canvas he was blinking heavily. Brinkley will get his hat handed to him in a box with a bow by Bute, but good for him.

    I can't believe there is still such a thing as an Edison Miranda.

    I never thought Brinkley would make Stevens looked so bad but I knew Stevens was not a good professional fighter and he doesn't look to want to be. Curtis Stevens is better suited for the amateurs and somehow he just doesn't get that he has to work on many things. He just refuses to learn how to box. He has a very nice jab and hardly uses it. He pulls away a lot when he thows his left hook. His head movement is minimal and when he finally gets inside he doesn't capitalize by throwing numerous body punches. Not to mention that his body type is at a disadvantage for a long fight, 10-12 rounds. Also Stevens movement coming in is too predictable. Shawn Porter is a short muscular fighter who knows what he is. He even went down 2 weight classes to compensate. Stevens should take note. But back to Brinkley. Brinkley does deserve a payday but Bute will have served Brinkley like a lesser sparring partner. He has nothing to match Bute in any department. But I do appreciate that Brinkley is going to get his payday.
