It really sucks Bute-Froch aint on Showtime

I can't understand why Showtime didn't pick up this fight.

For Christ sake they can show old ass irrelevant milkdud Tarver fighting at Cruiser, but they can't bring us Bute-Froch.

I was so looking forward to this fight.

Bute is gonna retire the big mouthed farmer.

 

So this Bout WON'T B Televised???...



REED:dunno:

 

::

Sky have it in England, I think. In other words I won't be watching it on TV either. athetic:

 

Nope. Not on US tv. Neither HBO nor Showtime picked it up.

Its the most compelling fight of the next few months IMO.

Showtime is bringing us Kessler vs that ESPN2 bum Allen Green, but they can't show Bute-Froch......

 

Absolutely bizarre I agree. What are they thinking? Think about the amount of absolute shit that gets televised, and a good compelling matchup like this isn't.

What's the problem, money?

 

Man, that sucks and makes no sense.

 

Klitschkos are boring. So are these other Euro/Romano/Canado bums.

 

Isn't it going to be televised on Epix?

Showtime built up the popularity of both Bute and Froch, but apparently wanted Bute vs Ward or bust. I can see their reaction if the fans had called bullshit, but it's pretty much unanimous it seems that fans are okay with Bute vs Froch and aren't bitching at all.

 

its a crap fight, and will be one sided. i dont blame showtime. why pay bute for a bunch of tune ups and then let him fight ward on hbo. they have one fight left on his deal so it should be against ward in their eyes

 

I wouldn't underestimate Froch.

Bute is not really all that good.

Don't get me wrong I think Bute SHOULD win but I doubt its easy.

Bute is no Andre Ward.

 

Bute would lose to Ward, but due to styles, he'll beat Froch in more impressive fashion than Ward did.

I can't help but think ole Frochy will walk into an uppercut that rocks his world.

 

IT's on Epix for american viewers

 

Can't wait for dis fight, like.

 

You guys are clowns rating that faggot frog Bute. He has zero big victories. His est win was against Glen Johnson who had 1 hand and he still won 4 to 5 rounds. Bute got knocked out by Andrade and save for a corrupt ref, he would have an official kayo loss. My only concern is FRoch may be shopworn.I think FROCH should win. Just beccause Bute hasn't done shit, doesn't mean he won't. I just don't see it. He is a western hemisphere version of ARTHUR ABRAHAM, although slightly better.

 

What the hell is Epix?

:tick:


This is disappointing.

 

get your ethnic slur straight. Bute is not a frog, he can barely speak french

 

So what ethnic slur should Ike use instead?

 

i guess gypsie would be alright

 

Sorry man, faggot gypsie.It just offends me when someone is not born with a handicap like being a Francophone. French is one of the most humorous, hideous and vile languages on Earth. It boggles my mind that someone would try to learn it voluntarily.

 

It's on Epix

 

Thats how i see this fight. I got Froch winning.

 

I keep forgetting this fight is on Saturday. I got Froch by decision.

 

Bute UD

 

Hopefully Bute pulls it out. I'd like to go to a Bute/Stevenson fight in Montreal sometime next year.

I'd also be cool with a close, FOTY type scrap so I can go to the rematch.

 

I can't understand why anyone wouldn't root for Froch.

Since I've been watchin boxing (15 years) I never saw such a streak, and even before that, I don't recall a lot of fighters that can match it.

His last 8 fights were against

Pascal
Taylor
Dirrell
Kessler
Abraham
Johnson
Ward
Bute

You can be sure that if Bute wins, he'll milk it for the rest of his career

 

Yep :bears:

Boot's a bitch, and the Fighting Farmer fights anyone.

 

Because SD is a homer (who without a trace of irony calls lots of other people one).

MTF

 

Not only will he fight anyone, he'll pretty much fight anywhere. This is his first home fight since Direll (Kessler in Denmark, Abraham in the back-end of beyond, Johnson and Ward in the US)

I used to hate the farmer, but he has big, brass balls. No doubt about that.

MTF

 

froch will fight anyone he just isnt able to beat the better guys he fights

 

Thats why they are better.
