IBF super-middleweight champion Lucian Bute will have question marks over his name until he starts mixing it up with the best of his division. Since all of those fighters presently are tied up in the Super Six tournament, Bute is getting a reintroduction of sorts to Showtime viewers with an exhibition fight against Brian Magee this Saturday (March 19).
I say exhibition fight because Magee has little chance of giving Bute any serious trouble. The fight will serve to hype a rumored move for Bute to face Mikkel Kessler in October. The victorwould then be the consensus #1 opponent to face the winner of the Super Six tournament.
Bute vs. Magee airs at 10 PM ET.
