Comments Thread For: Bute Not Impressed With Froch: I'll Fight Ward in NYC

[SCtrojansbaby]

I agree it's best for the sport for fights to be held in the best markets. The only problem with that is that Ward won't get a fair shake in Canada, and he knows it. That's why it won't happen.

Bullshyt, you get neutral judges and a neutral ref

I think Ward beats him where ever the fight is held so may aswell go with the venue that will get him the most de l'argent. The fight I'd be most interested to see is Ward-Dirrell.

In Canada? For a Bute fight? Come on, man, you know that isn't true. I don't care where they are from. They get "neutral" judges in Germany, too, house fighter still gets the benefit of the doubt every round. You saw Bute-Andrade 1.

This is just my opinion but Lucian Bute is grossly overrated. He is neither as durable or tough as Carl Froch. In addition, Froch's resume is leaps and bounds ahead of Bute's too. Moreover, there are no notable opponents on his resume either. I believe he is just a protected paper champion with a padded record. I say this because he hasn't fought anyone near the caliber of the championship skill level of Andre Ward. In addition, mind you this is the same Lucian Bute, who was nearly stopped and out on his feet against Librado Andrade in their first bout. Froch to his credit, has never been in that kind of trouble, in his boxing career, to the point of being Almost knocked out.

"This is just my opinion but Lucian Bute is grossly overrated"

If it's true, then Ward should fight Bute next.
Alot of $$$ and 1 more belt

"In addition, Froch's resume is leaps and bounds ahead of Bute's too."

Before this fight, Froch's resume was leaps and bounds ahead of Ward's too.
It doesn't mean that Froch won the fight...

Anyone thinking that Ward will even entertain the thought of going to Canada is kidding themselves.

Honestly, imo, he shouldn't have to. Bute has been sitting back while these guys take each other out. He hasn't done a damn thing to deserve to swoop in and make all the rules.

[JimmyMcNulty]

Was Bute there last night?

Or was he hiding in Canada?

[mathed]

Ward is going to out box Bute, and Froch can KO Bute out. Remember Andrade

I don't know man, that left of Bute is deceptive and it drops dudes out right. The guy is better than people seem to give him credit for.

[Allucard]

Ward is the champ. Bute is the one with something to prove. Ward isn't going into Bute's backyard and he shouldn't have to.

Absolutely. Olympic Gold Medalist, the Super Six Champion, Ring Champion and holding two ABC belts and he has to go up to Canada in order to be robbed - the only way Bute fans envision a win? FU bros lol. In Vegas on NYC it is. It also makes the most sense money-wise.

Did you read the article? He said "I'll fight in the United States, Maybe somewhere in New York. I'll even fight him in his own backyard of Oakland"

LOL, he didn't even make any reference to making up rules or fighting in Canada.
