Ward vs. Bika in the works

[Rantcatrat]

I hae heard that Bute will move to 175 after Brinkley if he does he is a joke, the guy has fought nobody at 168, and will bow out against fucking Jessie Brinkley .

This event is a farce now.

I've heard quite the opposite from french medias in Montreal, the only person he would fight in a middle time period at 175 is Jean Pascal because that fight in Montreal would just be h-u-g-e but Bute said recently that he won't go to 175 yet because there is a lot of work to do at 168. Pavilk's name is in the air so is Froch and Jean Bedard, the money keeper of Interbox stated that he's in discussion for a major fight in march concerning Bute on HBO and likely at 168 again. He'll move to 175 eventually, just not right now, you can count on that.

I guess you missed the interview with his managment a few days ago? Where he stated he is moving to 175 after the Brinkley fight.

His management team has said in the Montreal media that the original plan to face the 168lbs winner is changed because the tournamnent will now take too much time to complete.

BUTE would have liked to face JEAN PASCAL as soon as March 2011 but since Jean needs to immediately give Dawson a rematch after the HOPKINS fight, their dual will have to wait until at least the end of 2011 !

The BUTE team is now looking to possibly face DANNY GREEN coming back down at 175lbs or there is talk of JOE CALZAGHE coming out of retirement to face BUTE !!! The Calzaghe fight would take place in Europe

No I didn't miss that but there has been new information that got yesterday and two days ago; Calzaghe is an option IF he returns but Pascal won't be before a long long time: Hopkins and a revenge clause with Dawson are first, so you can't forget that fight for at least a year now. Beside Bute, they effectively talked Danny Green but this has been dismissed recently as Green won't move down (apparently) and the other options mentioned are Pavlik (if he wins his next match as HBO are high on that one apparently) and either winner or loser of the Froch-Abraham fight depending of how the fight goes and of the interest afterward. Bute will sure move to 175 but not in a short time and probably not a short-middle time neither.

The loser of the Froch/Abraham fight is still in the tournament unless the tournament completely falls apart. Therefore, the only option for Bute right now is Pavlik is what you're saying?
