| Lucian Bute To Return on April 14, With or Without Froch
|
|
By Chris LaBate Super middleweight contender Lucian Bute (30-0, 24KOs) is likely going to fight on April 14th in Montreal, with or without Nottingham's Carl Froch. The promoters for both boxers are very close to a deal, but information has surfaced that Showtime is reportedly not interested in the fight because the network, who has Bute under contract, wants to see him fight an American opponent in his next outing. But, other sources are stating that a Bute-Froch deal can still come together despite the recent reports. According to Bute's trainer, Stephan Larouche, Bute is ready for any boxer in April but obviously he has a preference for Froch. Bute has already begun training for his next fight. "Froch would give us a very interesting fight, it would be a big seller. But Lucian will fight against anyone, it is left in the hands of [InterBox President] Jean Bedard and our focus is on training," Larouche told Canadian TV channel Reseau Info Sports.

Dont see why Showtime wouldnt want a Bute-Froch fight. Bute has plenty of options that are among the top fighters in the SM division and even a few fighters in the LHW division. If a short list was made a few fighters i'd like to see Bute fight would be Froch Andre Dirrell, Mikkel Kessler, and A... |

[QUOTE=F l i c k e r]Dirrell doesn't deserve a title fight with Bute. That guy dropped out of the Super 6 cause he knew he couldn't beat legit challenges.[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about? Dirrell beat Abraham and in the eyes of many he beat Froch too.
The Matrix would easily be the best... |

What's sad about Bute is that he's actually a very talented fighter (and IMHO, the only guy who can beat Ward at 168). But he's pissed his peak years away. |

Lucian will fight some bum.... on second thought. He probably would fight Dirrell. :lol1: |
