Bute in Discussions with Dirrell
According to the linked article (in French), Interbox and Gary Shaw have entered into discussions for Lucian Bute to fight Andre Dirrell in his next fight. Bute's mandatory with Andrade would become due in late June, so any fight would need to be before then. In the article, Shaw himself is quoted as saying he'd love to get Dirrell in there against Bute in Montreal, and that Showtime has expressed interest in the fight. It also mentions that Interbox representatives are considering a Bute fight against the Green-De Leon winner. Bute fighting either Dirrell or Green has the potential to be a fantastic fight.

That would be a fantastic fight in my opinion. I am surprised that Bute’s people are interested in fighting a guy who has the talent to beat him.
"Boxing is dirty," said Casamayor. " The day I’m not ready to be a dirty fighter is the day I don’t fight anymore because it will mean that I have no heart for it anymore."

Andrade
That should make for a good fight but I want to see Librado get his second chance against Bute. Andrade probably gets outboxed early but I like him to finish off Bute the second time around.
