Lucian Bute

[CFH]

Good assessments......I am in no way trying to act as though Bute walks through any of these guys because the SMW division is stacked right now...As for fighting AA that is NEVER a fight easy to pick...I still don't think we learned anything new about AA in the Dirrell fight except he came in and was surprised by the speed....AA has the ability to beat anyone in or around SMW with one shot landed correct....Plus the guy gets stronger as the fight wears on....

Just I in no way can comfortably say any of then beats Bute....I am still not exactly sure why he was not in the Super 6?....I think it is because he had contract obligations when the tourney was signed....Could be wrong though..

Anyone know exactly why?

Because he had already agreed to rematch Andrade and I think his contract with HBO also had something to do with it.

Thats what I had figured...I had said that in the beginning of the Tourney when someone else asked the question but was not positive

I think if it wasn't for the controversy surrounding the end of the first Andrade fight he would have found a way to get involved in the Super 6, but I don't know how binding his HBO contract would have been.
