Surprised that they're not going for The City Ground.

Me too. A stadium fight in May would be awesome. But maybe they fear that sales wont be that much more than the indoor arena which is a shame. Its Froch's Dream to fight at the local stadium and if this isnt a fight that Can make the sufficient draw then what can?

A small indoor arena, packed to capacity, should give a nice atmosphere.

I remember when people said that Bute was protected and wouldn't fight outside of Canada(even though he has fought in not only Romania but US as well) and blah blah blah. So many haters.

To be fair, Bute is from Romania.

I shall be going to this!

Well, it was true.

Props to him for finally growing some balls and fighting a good fighter though.

Can't wait for Bute to slap Carl "Sid The Sloth" Froch all around the ring and shut up all you whiney biches.
