Lucian Bute said Brian Magee is best fighter in the super middleweight division and it was considerably the best option available to me to go against because if we compare Magee with other fighter in the same super middleweight division so we will find that
Magee is the fighter who does not have fast hand speed and he normally does not cause harm to his opponent.
However, Lucian Bute is not going to take the Magee easy that is why he is in Miami and has started his training.
Talking about the strengths of Brian Magee, Lucian Bute mentioned that he is an aggressive and experienced fighter with good right hand hook. Additionally, he said I am not underestimating him but I have to prepare well for a long and tough fight because
he can punch and will never quit.
Although, Brian Magee is in a hopeless situation because he is coming face to face against an opponent who is very famous because of his punching ability, hand speed and boxing skills or primarily because of his excellent past professional career.
Surely, the fight between Lucian Bute and Brian Magee will win the hearts of many boxing fans and proved to be the eye opener for the rest of super middleweight fighters.
