Lucian Bute keeps the Bell Centre rocking

Lucian Bute TKO 9 Jesse Brinkley TIME: 2:48

Jesse Brinkley strung 9 straight impressive wins together, and seemed to be turning his career to around. He was becoming a legitimate fighter since his appearance on the Contender series. Well, that was all destroyed when the he faced the best super middleweight in the world, Lucian Bute. People say carefully what you wish, and Brinley certainly should have. Lucian Bute is a great fighter that is only getting better. He can do many things in the ring, but his counter punching skills are great. He was beating Brinkley to the punch and doing it in a dominating fashion. He was systematical breaking down Brinkley before he ended the fight in dramatic fashion. Brinkley was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He was over aggressive and he got caught coming in. Bute saw the opening, timed Brinkley perfectly, and landed a perfect counter hook. Bute is proving to be the biggest draws Montreal has ever seen. He consistently sells out the Bell Centre, which is not easy to do. He has plenty of options for his next bout, which is slated for March 2011. He may be able to cokes the winner of the Paul Williams, and Sergio Martinez fight into the ring. Or, he could face Kelly Pavlik, but that wouldn't really be fun. He could also make a huge match up with the winner of the Bernard Hopkins, Jean Pascal fight. A match up with Pascal would be an absolute blockbuster, because of his Montreal background. Anyway you look at it Bute has a bright future.
