Comments Thread For: Ward Praises Froch, While Dirrell Shreds Bute Over Loss

[Rome-By-Ko]

i partially agree but dirrell won the froch fight imo. he's got a ton of talent but doesn't seem he has the maturity or smarts necessary in the world of boxing today. going over to nothingam not knowing he wouldn't be able to ko froch was ******, rellying on the ref to be like a babysitter for him is amateurish. froch, abraham and ward are all rough fighters and looking at the ref and crying will only take your focus away. also the comment about bute was classless and dumb as hell from dirrell.

I don't agree with you that Dirrell won,I really could not give himthe nod based on his tactics in the ring that night..But I do agree with everything else said...

you're a dumba**

ward had just gotten out of a battle worn super six tournament & his hand was smashed to bits. did you REALLY think ward was gonna take on booty right after the tournament with a smashed hand? he's doing exactly what he said he was gonna do.........which is take a break, let his hand heal, & then fight.

bute had already been negotiating with team froch BEFORE ward even fought froch IDIOT.

We are just playing tennis. I suppose we will just have to agree to disagree.

I agree with you on this.Also, who the hell is Ward to dare speak about this fight when he was publicly dodged Bute under the premise "he hasn't fought anyone". He had his chance and declined.

How was Ward suppose to fight Bute when he was recovering from a hand injury?

And Ward was right Bute has`nt fought anyone.He did`nt even enter the super six so why should he get a shortcut for fighting for 2 belts?

[Sweet Pea 50]

Yes, he needs to shut the hell up. But time has now passed for the Bute fight.

Indeed.

And all Bute had to do was win this fight, which would have lead credence to a possible match up with Ward.

Too bad he got stopped in the 5th round.

hahahahaha I was about to post this haha, good ****!

That being said, although I agree that Ward would probbaly beat Bute. Going off the basis that, Ward beat Froch and Froch beat Bute, therefore Ward > Bute, isn't right. Anyone who knows boxing knows that styles make fights. Because Froch KO'd Bute in 5 rounds, does NOT meant Ward would do the same.

To be fair i dont think he was invited. Also a guy like Bute can make money and sell out arenas without taking risks unlike most of the American 168lbers.

Just watched the entire fight.

Bute looked to me like too much wasted movement. Feints, trying to set up traps with footwork that didn't need to be done.

Oh, and once Froch lost respect for his punch, he pretty much walked through him.

Ward need's to shut the hell up, and demand a fight with Bute. RIGHT NOW.

Froch has no respect for anyones punch whether its big or not he will walk thorugh it if he feels he wants or its in his tactics, if depends if the opponent is easy to get to and not slippery. Butes movement was very same thing over and over and he didnt know how to adjust his movements to out wit and aviod Froch , he did look ameuteurish lol. Ward dont need to demand a fight with Bute at all, Chad Dawson fight is much better someone with a chin someone who is regarded higher, it would look like Ward was trying to feed of Frochs scraps.

Blah, blah. Bute was number 2 a World Champion and undefeated. Ward number 1 Super Six winner and also undefeated. This should have been a no brainier, except Ward didn't want it.

Dirrell has no right to voice anything tbh,he ran and fought like a herb against Froch...Let's be honest as well(while I don't like what AA did)he tried to do the same towards the end of the AA fight..Dirrell has heart problems tbh,at least a hurt Bute was trying..Dirrell has no room to talk is all..Don't throw stones ya dig..

You think Dirrel is suppose to stay flat footed and let Froch land on him?GTFOH,Dirrel is not no Margarito,Dirrel is Dirrel.If you become a professional boxer then you do that.

And how does Dirrel have heart problems when he beat Froch a$$?If Abraham never hit Dirrel while he was down then that situation would have never happened regardless if Dirrel faked it or not.Even though Abraham hit Dirrel while he was down cause he`s a sore loser you peoplke Attack Dirrel and hardly say nothing about Abraham.

[Weebler I]

Dirrell is a ghastly individual. At least Bute didn't fake a seizure like that lowlife.
