Comments Thread For: Lucian Bute Starts Camp, Braces For Froch Mandatory

I agree that his resume leaves a lot to be desired, but you suggesting that he ducks Dirrell is pathetic.

Dirrell's team made an offer early this month to fight Bootay on neutral grounds & he said no, so yeah he's ducking.

You cannot seriously agree with someone stating Taylor was ahead before being KTFO by AA?

Actually I may have jumped the gun. Simply because that was the only fight in the Super Six that I missed. However, with that said I believe King Arthur is an absolute overrated turd. And I will never again waste an hour of my life to watch him fight again. Okay, I may be being a bit dramatic and I am sure if he was fighting and I didn't have to pay for it, as in Pay Per View, I would probably watch the fight.

And I wanted Ward to win I just happen to think it wasn't as good as many make it out to be.

He beat Froch more convincingly than Kessler did, despite the broken hand. What more do you want?

Other for financial reasons I really don't believe Bute has any reason to want to duck Dirrell.

Dirrell's team? Who's that? And how much did they offer? If it was less than 2m its a joke.

it was a good performance, not an exciting or impressive one

he got the job done, and it's okay

I simply wasn't that impressed with him as you seem to have been. And that is fine. I will also say that I did not watch the fight live. I also read all kinds of articles before I watched it and I was not as impressed by what I saw as compared to what I had read before hand.

Ward absolutely schooled him, please re-watch the fight, nearly everything Froch threw was blocked. The only time I can really remember him landing clearly was like in the 7th round.

Ward landed 42% of his punches, 243/573 thrown

Froch landed 23% of his punches, 156/683 thrown


Ward nearly out landed the guy by 100 punches, not only that but Ward had broken his right hand before the fight had even started in training camp. It's why he moved to south paw a lot during the fight.

He said in the 6th round is where he was in excruciating pain.



Ward also let Froch win like 2 rounds towards the end because he knew he already won the fight and was just cruising to a victory.

This is the way I saw it. He won but in my opinion it wasn't as great as what I thought it would be by what I had read. And honestly I see no reason why Bute should be afraid or concerned about fighting Ward.
