w �0ca0� 6nced to happen between the Ireland’s professional middleweight, Brian Magee and the unbeaten Lucian Bute IBF super middleweight champion. Hopefully, Brian Magee will face Lucian Bute On Saturday 19th March, 2011 at the Bell Centre,
Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Interestingly that would be the first Lucian Bute’s first after signing the multi-fight contract with the SHOWTIME in November 2010. The Brian Magee-Lucian Bute bout will be aired lively on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING at 10 p.m.
The 35 years old, Brian Magee (Height 6′ 0″/ 183cm and reach 74″ / 188cm) stands at number 13 super middleweight fighter in the world with 226 points by the BoxRec.com ratings. His professional record is as follows. He has won his 34 professional
fights including 24 wins by KO, 3 losses of the game including one by getting knocked out and one draw.
The European Boxing Union (EBU) super middleweight champion, Brian Magee is number five by the international boxing federation (IBF) and he is ranked number two super middleweight in the United Kingdom by the BoxRec.com just after the 33 years old,
Carl Froch, who is number one with 668 points. Brian Magee has won his six consecutive fights since his victory over Mark Nilsen in 8th February 2008. The Lucian Bute’s win over Alejandro Berrio was the fight that brought the IBF title for him in
2007. Lucian Bute has successfully defended his title couple of times when it was on stake against the William Joppy and Librado Andrade.
On the other hand, Romania’s 31 years old, Lucian Bute (height 6′ 2″/ 188cm and reach 72″/ 183cm) is the number one super middleweight in the world with 846 points by boxrec.com ratings. As far as his professional record is concerned, he has won his
27 fights, 22 by KO’s, no draw and interestingly no loss of fight.
Lucian Bute is the number one super middleweight in Romania who has incredible hand speed and power to dominate. Lucian Bute, the natural lefthander has defeated consecutively more than 20 top fighters in the super middleweight division. He won ninth-round
KO decision in his last fight that was against Jesse Brinkley on 15th October, 2010 at the Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
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.
