When Jesse Brinkley gutted out a twelve
round unanimous decision victory over Curtis Stevens a few weeks ago
in an exciting headlining bout televised by ESPN's Friday Night
Fights in Reno, Nevada, it was supposed to be enough to earn him a
title shot against IBF 168-pound champion Lucian Bute in April.
And it should have been.
Instead, it will be world title retread
Edison Miranda who will meet Bute in Montreal on April 17th
in a bout that will be televised by HBO, likely as the co-featured
bout to a Kelly Pavlik-Sergio Martinez middleweight title fight that
will take place in Youngstown as part of a split-site telecast.
