"My wife is 3 months pregnant. I think we can squeeze another fight in towards the last trimester. I'm going to get an MRI tomorrow morning at 10:45 and, God willing, everything is fine," stated unified WBA & WBC Super Middleweight Champion Andre Ward, who informed us that, as long as everything checks out okay with his injured left hand, he's hoping to be back in the ring as early as April of 2012. "I would like to get back in the ring April or May. I would like that fight to be in Oakland or Las Vegas," Ward continued. As he pointed out, however, the date of his next fight depends on the extent of his injury, which he'll find out after a scheduled MRI later today. Ward first suffered the injury less than two weeks prior to facing former champion Carl Froch in the finals of the Super Six tournament. read more http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content11425.html
Bute wipped out the 168 division aside the guys in the super-6, every other fighter he made them look bad
It's "wiped out" not wipped out.
And even Peter Quillin has beaten Jesse Brinkley for f*ck's sake. Are we going to say he is wiping out 168 too?
:lol1:
bute is not the next best challenger you goof.
dirrell is.
why would ward duck bute who looked liked complete sh*t against magee? knocked out against andrade? PROTECTED & all of his fights against bums in canada? bute's feasted on b class fighters & bums while the super six was going on. now after the super six he wants to get froch in canada.......this is what team froch & team bute are trying to iron out now. that fight is basically done but froch doesn't want to go to canada first....so team bute are threatening that they could fight hopkins at a catch weight. everything that bute tells you is LIES.......really behind the scenes is where his true actions speak...
BUTE IS A FRAUD THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT FIGHTING IN CANADA..............
So Ward is a fraud that only cares about fighting in USA"
Do you know that Montreal is probably the best city right now in the world for a boxing events?
Bute against Froch will sell out 21 273 seats at an expensive tickets price. There is nowhere else or none other 168 that can draw that crowd.
Bute knockout everyone he fought or beat them in flawless victory (Johnson) and he won 11 out of 12 round against Andrade 1st fight, before knocking the **** out of a fighter that was supposed unknockable.
Like it or not, Bute is the most powerfull hitter and perhaps even the most skilled 168 in the world.
There is 3 knocks on him
1; he is white
2; he is romanian
3; canadian citizen speaking french and no english = not popular in the US/UK
Ward's defence is better than Bute. But aside of that, power, hook, combination, footwork, speed, everything its on Bute favor. Sorry but Ward isn't faster than Bute before you goes in all butthurt mode.
He is ducking BUTE. LMao.
After Froch in 2008, Kessler last year, now its Ward.
And people whin that Bute's competition isn't good....Yeah, well, your favorite boxer favorite boxer is ducking him.
**** Ward.
WAR BUTE!
Bute wipped out the 168 division aside the guys in the super-6, every other fighter he made them look bad
Ward has the better quality opponent, Bute its a mix of quality/quantity, he wiped out everyone else.
Ward is a disgrace, he knows Bute can rock him hard. There isn nobody at 168 wit Bute's power... nobody.
i think that you should learn how to read (if you even bothered)
he says that bute needs to fight a A level guy before they will fight.........i don't see why this is such a bad statement to people such as yourself.............he also says bute in realty is looking to get someone in canada.
which is true because bute is trying to get froch in canada LOL actions speak louder then words. butes words (I'll fight anywhere, oakland, Britain, new york) BUT YOU ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET FROCH IN CANADA..........
actions speak louder then words..............
so why all Wards' SuperSix fights were in US again?
Froch says that Ward is a dirty fighter. Ward responds by saying that it was only one fight and not his career. I cannot interpret it anyway else and that is honourable of Ward to admit it.
Yes, it was only one fight of his in which his style resulted in his opponent getting serious cuts, that he admitted. That does not equate to being a "dirty" fighter. But, I guess you can you take it however you want it.

Ok. What dó you Think hé referred to then?
"I can put my head on anybody’s chest in a boxing match. That’s part of boxing. But if we’re going to tag me with one fight and define my career by one instance that happened … that might not be the last time that I’m involved with head-butts. It happens. This is a physical battle. This is a fight. Do the same thing with him.”
If you read clearly he is not admitting to fighting unfairly, rather he is responding to Froch calling him dirty as a result of his fighting style. Note that he said that he can put his head on anyone's chest and that headbutts (did and) might occur. And that makes sense, as he comes in with his head to close distance and fight on the inside. There are bound to be headbutts, again, which he admitted. But that is not an admission to fighting dirty intentionally.
link or you're lying.......I have all of the pre fight interviews saved to my phone. i can't remember him saying anything close.............
link...............
He didn't........

“This man is online, talking about how he’s going to spear me with his elbow if I come in with my head,” said Ward, who’s 24-0 (13 KOs). “If that’s not dirty, I don’t know what is. I can put my head on anybody’s chest in a boxing match. That’s part of boxing. But if we’re going to tag me with one fight and define my career by one instance that happened … that might not be the last time that I’m involved with head-butts. It happens. This is a physical battle. This is a fight. Do the same thing with him.”
He didn't........
Oh ok, because I'm like...uhh...I don't remember that. You know what, part of me wants him to fight Kessler again, just to see how they will cry and complain about Kessler getting dominated again.
dude........my post was never about interest. my original post was replying to a poster who said that ward was scared of bute & ducking him. interest? WTFFFFFFFFFFF are you talking about LOL you brought that 1 up HAHAHAHAHA
bute can continue to fight bums in canada but don't think he'll get any real respect...........
:fing02:
I was responding to this post.
yea, after being asked if he'd ever like to rematch kessler........he also talked about light heavyweight.
the truth is ward is NOT fighting kessler in a rematch anytime soon (if ever) & he's not moving up to light heavyweight anytime soon.......
if bute wins against a A class opponent, that fight will be made in vegas or new york..........
Now we not talking about anything. So this conversation is over.
