Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Wants It: 'I Would Love To Fight Lucian Bute!'

[Walt Liquor]

No fighter is going to take that kind of fight under 3 weeks notice.

Ward should be dying for this fight though. Bute is a big name and an easy victory for him.

how you figure??????????

What are the chances of getting the fight done when Ward refuses to fight outside his hometown and Bute's fight in the US is scheduled for NY?

On Friday, Showtime officially announced their multi-fight agreement with undefeated IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute. The popular Canadian boxer had appeared on HBO in two of his last three outings. The move to Showtime made perfect sense for Bute's career. The network has a firm grasp on the best fighters at 168-pounds. The majority of them are currently involved in Showtime's ongoing Super Six tournament.

FIGHT-WARD-don't you mean do what you do to every opponent since you realized you had pudding in the place of your chin-and thats hit ,hold,throw a few flurrys hold,ALL NIGHT.Andre your fights are unwatchable without HOLDING,which is illegal in boxing,you Popkins and Berto would have been ko'd long ago.I hope that HBO and Showtime NEVER pick you up because you are the antithesis of EXCITING two way action fighting.When an opponent gets close to Ward its HOLD on,after he throws a punch its Hold on.Its truly unwatchable stuff its so CHEAP its disgusting,JUST FIGHT instead of being so worried about taking apunch.I'll quote the ever quotable Larry Merchant"if afighter enters a fight thinking about how am I going to win this match without getting hit,thats afighter I no longer care to watch"GOD BLESS MERCHANT.

im very close to being on board with this, plus the fact that he won't leave oakland, EVEN IN THE SUPER SIX WHERE THEY WERE OBLIGATED TO FIGHT OUTSIDE OF THEIR HOMETOWN.

Ward loses that fight. He cheats more than he accomplishes with his skills....sad.

Dirrell is trash, that loser needs to be a B-rated actor doing indie films, he sucks

[$tate of Mind]

The first 6 rounds in Oakland and the rest in Montreal???

No kidding bro, the biggest obstacle to making this fight is the venue it's going to be held at...
