Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Eyes Lucian Bute, Move To 175-Pounds

[Pullcounter]

On Saturday night in Carson, California, WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KOs) dominated Arthur Abraham (32-3, 26 KOs) to advance to the finals of the Super Six Boxing Classic. He waits for the winner of the upcoming Super Six semi-final bout between Carl Froch with Glen Johnson, scheduled for June 4 in Atlantic City. Beyond the Super Six, Ward would like to face undefeated IBF champion Lucian Bute of Canada, and eventually would consider a move in weight to capture a second divisional title at light heavyweight.

I hate his hold-n-hit style and the fact he had homecourt advantage through out the super six, but I love his humility and willingness to fight.

Gotta love Ward for wanting to fight the best. If he wins the tournament and beats Bute, which I think he will, he should be top 5 P4P. A move to LHW would be good after that. War Ward!

Bute is a hellacious body puncher.

Yes, against bums. Bute is quite the tomato can crusher.

Haters can say what they want: Bute did better than Ward against their common opponents. Bute knocks the **** off every fighter put in front of him. We'll see if he can do the same thing against the top 3of the division. That will be a harder task but any real connaisseur knows Bute is talented. Those calling him a bum are making themselves look ******.

BTW, November the 5th is the date for the Bute-Kessler fight, if Sauerland doesn't **** the thing off and if Mikkel's eyes are ok after his tune up fight. Then, the winner of this fight will fight the super 6 winner in New York city.

All that is written in a contract Bute signed several months ago. Of course, facts won't stop haters from hating!

Ward beats Bute.

He has better composure, better ring generalship, and better preparation.

I KNOW, that Ward will adapt to Bute, but I DO NOT KNOW if Bute can adapt to Ward.

[US Dirk Killer]

so is Ward still waiting to fight Bute before he moves up?
