It's a big test. I think if he wins, him and Donaire but a bit of breating space between them and the competition on the p4p rankings.
It certainly shows that he is prepared to take risks.

I only hope that if he does get past Magee that he takes on the man we all want to see him fight. Of course I'm talking about the dangerous puncher and Mundine conquerer, the Australian contender champion Garth Wood.

I actually think Bute could win both fights, but I just worry that the wear and tear accumulated on him through a succession of such brutal fights might mean he is past his best by the time the winner of the Supersix Tourny is announced.

I'd hate for Bute to lose to the winner of that because of the quality of opposition he has had to face whilst waiting for them to stop pissing around and come up with an opponent for him.
