Agreed. I think they will pursue the fight with Kessler after this July date. What worries me is that he could be slipping a little because of his sub par competition. When he gets in there with another elite he might find himself to be a little off or tenth of a second to slow. Still, he had to at least stay busy. Glad he signed with Showtime because it pretty much guarantees a clash with the winner of the S6.
I would be very excited about seeing Bute v. Kessler. I'm not sure what else outside the S6 there is for Bute other than Pavlik, but I doubt Pavlik is ready for Bute at this point, and Stieglitz, but I doubt Stieglitz would take the fight. As I suggested before, Bute could wait to fight Abraham or Johnson (assuming they lose) after the next round of the S6 in Romania.
