There are three interesting - if not exactly compelling - fights scheduled for this coming weekend. On Friday, Oct. 15, it's Lucian Bute defending his IBF super welterweight title against Jesse Brinkley, from The Contender: Season One, in Montreal. Bute is in the discussion with Andre Ward for best 168-pounder in the world today and Brinkley is rarely in a dull fight. Also on Friday, 41-year-old Antonio Tarver, moving up to heavyweight for the first time, takes on Nagy Aguilera (16-4) in Miami, Oklahoma. Tarver has been out of action for 17 months and is rarely in an exciting fight. Then on Saturday, heavyweight Vitali Klitschko defends his WBC title against Shannon Briggs in Hamburg, Germany. Briggs is an impressive physical specimen but throws fewer punches per round than almost anyone and will likely be easily outpointed.
