Comments Thread For: Dirrell, Now a Free Agent, Rejects Facing Bute in Canada

Andre Direll you are a scumbag!!!! I hate these fighters who always want a home-fight.

Haha i read that in Arthur Abrahams voice

Dirrell is a clown, been saying it since day one. I hope he gets written off as the bum he is....now I hope that people can start to see the reality of why Bute was left out o the tourney in the first place...he would have upset the apple cart. The entire thing was to generate an American star not a Canadian one. Ward nor Dirrell will ever fight Bute even if h came to America, they would dodge him.

What is it fighters wanting titles but not wanting to go into the champions backyard to take it? Pathetic.

Because robberies have become so frequent in the sport of boxing. Lets face it, if Dirrell did fight Bute in Canada he doesn't have the style that would ever get him to win on the judges cards. The only way Bute is going to lose in Canada is he is going to have to get knocked out. Same could be said for a ton of fighters around the world.

Who does this guy think he is?!!loser.....This is the one fighter,well and his brother that I wished they just disappear

This seems rather harsh. Like him or not, you never want talent to leave the sport. It's his life, let him do what he wants.

That is true like Bute can go to Detroit and get robbed.

So why should the champ, who is a bigger draw in his hometown than what Dirrell is in his, who makes more money in his hometown than what he will here fighting Dirrell. Would come to the challengers backyard?

It makes no sense.

Dirrell, pretty much in a clever way said he doesn't want to fight Bute. But, was smart enough not to make it obvious so that a lot of fans won't diss him too much for it.

I think the biggest problem is multiple titles. If a fighter doesn't like one champions terms, where they're going to fight etc., they can just pass it up and fight a different belt holder. I don't like Correlation course of action, but I have little doubt he gets another opportunity against someone if not Bite.

Right. I certainly wouldn't expect Bute to fight Dirrell any where other than Montreal. If it was Ward, even though more money would be made in Canada, I'd expect a neutral venue because it is a very important fight. Against Dirrell, not so much so you gotta go where the money is. Some fights are too big not to be held on neutral turf.
