Seeing as it will now officially take place in June I thought it was time we had an Aussie thread on the subject of Bika v Bute.

After having had two world title shots already I was (pleasently) surprised when I heard Bika would be in a title eliminator. I haven't seen much of Bute but if he is the prospect people say he is then I would expect he should score a close decision against Bika. However I doubt Bute has ever come across someone with the rough style of Bika who might be able to put Bute off his game. If this is the case we could be in for an interesting battle.

I certainly wish Bika all the best and hope he can finally crack it in the big one!

His name is Lucian Bute. Not Brute. :)

Just thought I let you know.

Maxime,

Bute has some expererience against a rough opponent. He fought Kabary Salem in his 13th fight. It didnt turn out to be a dirty fight but Salem had the reputation of being a dirty fighter.

Maxime,

Yeah thats what I said

Cheers mate

I have only seen Bute once and he looked good, I think Bute will win by UD in a scrappy fight.

Probably the most likely outcome, Bika seems like he'd be a horrible guy to fight and is pretty tough also, but Bute should have too much for him. People have rightly pointed out that Bute hasn't really fought top class opponents yet but his management have made a good job of giving him opponents which pose him new problems to figure out so that he learns with each fight.
