Bute should laugh his ass off right now...

[-PANDA-]

why didnt bute fight dawson when shaw even proposed a catchweight for dawson's title

why wont bute fight pascal? potentially the biggest fight in canada right now, for a lineal and the wbc title...why on earth would bute want to fight brinkley for way less money

what the hell is stieglitz doing? hes been a champion since the super six tournament began...bute couldve unified with him but instead opted to fight miranda and andrade again....

what did miranda do to deserve a shot at bute?

[Megamasterking]

Bute, Pascal and soon Lemieux

...although that is not really his style to mock other people being the humble guy that he is....

The guy got criticised so much for being left out of the tournament and for fighting what was/is left out of it.

At first, he looked like the unlucky guy, forced into an outside-looking-in type of situation, hence making it easy to bash him and call him a bum.

But now, just look at the state of the tourney : a big, big joke. The fighters have been acting like ****en ****** all the way. They've been complaining, postponing, pulling out... The tourney cannot claim it will crown the best SMW in the world anymore with Dirrell and Kessler out. So it is a big failure, and the remaining match-ups are no better than anything that could have happened without a tournament.

If I were Bute, I would be happy right now not to be part of that big mess, that big joke the tournament has turned itself into.

That tournament is a joke, it started as a joke when they "forgot" to invite Bute !!! But now, Bute is the clear winner of all this and yes, he must be laughing. Bute and Pascal are better then most people think and soon Lemieux will KO some WC and these 3 will dominate for a few years. Only Dawson has a chance to beat Pascal, but Dawson's team doesn't look like they know what they are doing, so i see Pascal winning that rematch.

Pascal panda meant right...

Bute was not forced to move up to fight Dawson who has no following whatsoever

everybody knows you're not the same fighter when you move down after going up in weight

considering a fight with Green after turning down Pascal is beyond me, I must admit, but let's wait and see what happens, nothing is official as of now

Stieglitz has been offered a fight at least twice by Bute, but he doesn't want it and prices himself out

Brinkley is mandatory, after Bute beats him, he can do whatever he wished to do, stay at 168 or move up

Miranda has obviously been hand picked by HBO, not Bute, and if you want HBO money, you do what HBO tells you to do

let's not get carried away

it was a great tournament when it started although Bute was left out, but now, it has become a joke unfortunately

Bute is not the clear winner, how can you say such a thing ? the problem is, there won't be a number 1 to fight a number 2 (Bute) when the tourney ends

yeah pascal...my bad

he probably wont fight on as a cruiserweight if the green fight comes off though meaning he'll move back down and green's fanbase is in australia...if theres anything left of it after his last horrible handpicked fight. bute wants to hold on to that IBF title too much panda feels....he should follow in dawson's footsteps and just challenge the best title or no title

bute is on the verge of becoming a mainstream international phenomena...he has a very difficult and crowd pleasing style...he needs to take some risks man

hopkins called out bute before and now pascal's fighting him

Sorry for bad english, i meant Bute is not the one to blame for all this, cause he was not invited in that tournament. That tournament was not a good thing cause in boxing, the injuries are a big part of the game and look what happened, boxing is different from other sports, that's why it's very difficult to have 6 boxers in a tournament and have a clear winner at the end.

[Clegg]

Yeah, but he'd have to get your tongue out of there first.

[BattlingNelson]

ok

AND who did he duck ? and when ? and why was it a duck ?

if you can't respond to this, you're a troll or a hater, or both

I can respond.

In NSB lingo he just ducked Pascal and he ducked Kessler last year.

[black.ink]

Lets see past 4 fights shall we. (names in bold are super-six fights)

Froch: Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler (soon to be Abraham)
Ward: Miranda, Pudwill, Kessler, Green
Kessler: Perdermo, Haussler, Ward, Froch
Dirrell: Oganov, Findley, Froch, Abraham
Abraham: Simon, Oral, Taylor, Dirrell (soon to be Froch)
Taylor: Pavlik, Lacy, Froch, Abraham

Bute: Andrade x2, Zuniga, Miranda


Win or lose, i'm pretty sure the super-six has helped raised a better profile for all participants. Just look at the past few fights. It amazes me how Bute's name keeps getting thrown at the top based on his competition. Yeah, the man has skills....but until he steps into the ring with the calibre of competition the super-six brings, i'll just shake my head at those with a tight grip around Lucians ****.

Bute ducked Kessler ?

never heard that one yet (and I've heard quite a few)

when and how please ?

(you won't like to hear it, but Bute would thoroughly embarrass Kessler, much like Ward did, but without the headbutts)

we can't consider Pascal as a duck, they're not fighting in the same division, and it's not official that Bute is moving up
