FROCH vs BUTE IS ON!!!!!

I remember reading somewhere that Bute and his team wanted to fight in the Super 6 but they wanted three Americans.

 

Relax.

 

I hope Froch adds a second loss on Bute's resume :crafty:

 

The atmosphere at this will be pretty foetid and febrile. I can see the Stoke mob making the trip up and getting lairy at the weigh in, trying to bash Heathcliff Bute.

 

I hope Frock nauses Boot up in the build up and is all like "Oh hai der Boot".

 

I hope Bute gets all swarthy and swarmy and smarmy and Romanian with Mrs Froch and says "I wish I could be as stiff in your ring as he is in the boxing ring" and then a lairy great brawl breaks out and Heathcliff gets bashed by people wearing Wolves shirts.

 

I read elsewhere in boxing news and boxing monthly that he was asked and he refused. Froch told him to 'grow some balls'.

Right. But that's not what the Showtime brass were saying.

Hmmm...I notice that they say this after they have signed him up. Relevant?

MTF

 

Hard to say. I just know I've heard this version of events on a few occasions. I bet Jake could clear it up.

 

Indeed. Time for Jake to impart his knowedge methinks...

MTF ray:

 

Jake get in here. NOW.

 

While we wait for Jake and his unlimited insider knowledge to deal with this connundrum, tell me SD- should Bute be ranked no.1 at 168 right now?

MTF

 

Ward is clearly #1. I can see an argument for any combo of Froch, Bute and Kessler after that.

 

Good lad.

MTF :goodnews:

 

There is no argument for Bute being anything other than number 4. He has fought and beaten no one. You can't rank potential.

 

I don't even really like Bute.

 

Fair enough. I'd still like to see Bute/Ward.

 

I think he sucks. He may be better than I think because he has fought no one. He will never, ever beat Ward. I still can't get the fact he was literally knocked out by ANDRADE needing corruption to save him. He could retire today and I count that as a kayo loss. People say he has improved but that is hard for me to grasp as he struggled over a 50 year old Glen Johnson who had only one hand.

 

Good lad.

MTF :goodnews:

 

Yup indeedy.

MTF

 

Well he blitzed Andrade in the rematch. I don't really care much for him either... this is a tough fight to call because as you said, we don't really know how good he is.

 

He don't automatically nuthug our countrymen around these parts. :nono:

 

Nor do we.

MTF

 

False.

 

Don't lie, you love GSP!!!

 

Nah, he's a chode. A chode who just happens to be better than any American cage fighter ever.

 

Really? I have picked Froch to lose three of his last four fights.

We are the fairest

 

You will never live down Hatton over Mayweather, old friend.
