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

[boxingfeind]

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.

Ok so Ward was suppose to fight with a messed up hands,lose the fight so you brits could say Ward is Overated?GTFOH.

Ward just simply told Bute to fight a fighter with a pulse first then we can get it on.Plus Ward was recovering from a hand injury so Bute had time to do that and he did and he got exposed.

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.

I would expect Dirrell to box effectively..Which means not throwing himself on the canvas every min,not holding a thousand times,not trying to catch a break in the action..It's not fair to fight like that..Dirrell did not box Froch effectively which is the reason he did not win the fight..Dirrell did not beat Froch's azz,Ward did..Dirrell tried to steal and got caught(you could say),I'm all for not being flat footed..But what Dirrell did was try to take breaks in the action with b!tchazz tactics and he lost the fight in my book...

Dirrell has heart problems cause when a fight get's tough he resorts to b!tchazz tactics..When he got hurt vs AA he kept diving on the canvas,same thing he did when he fought Froch..It's very lame,and I don't score that Shhit..I also said AA was wrong and never did I say that Dirrell fake any injury..

Wow, some serious idiots in here, really, some of you ******s know nothing about boxing, Ward ducked Bute! FACT! so he said he had to earn a shot! If Ward thought for a second he could do to Bute what Froch just did he would have signed no hesitation but he could not do that not even with a ****ing anvil in his gloves. Even after this fight its not nailed on that Ward would beat Bute, Ward does not have the power nor the chin to do what froch just did bute would probably be able to keep ward at the end of his jab alot easier than he could froch!

And as for old lionheart Andre "***** Dirrell, is this guy even still fighting? i was under the impression he was going to London 2012 to give Usain bolt a run for his money!

lol no that is not a fact no matter how strongly u believe it. Ward didnt duck Bute and would have fought him somewhere in the near future if Bute could have gotten by Froch. Ward has fought the best at 168 and is fighting another huge threat in Dawson.

Anyone who thinks Ward was scared of Bute is an absolute muppet!

I wholeheartedly agreed with Ward from day one that Bute did not deserve to sit out of the gruelling 2 year tournament fighting lesser competition and then get to fight the winner without proving anything - that made no sense because it's not like he was a Mayweather type long established top boy of the division.

The Super 6 was to determine the best at 168 - Bute wasn't a part of that so I always felt he needed to face another Super 6 contestant and win before he can lay claim to a fight with the Champion...he attempted to and what happened? He got KO'd!

The runner-up of the tourney proved the point nicely.

^^^^^^ This.

Although Ward would thrash Bute, I don't think he could do what Carl did, he'd just outbox him and mess his face up slowly over a number of rounds.

Least Bute took the beating like a man and didn't run, nor turn his back on Froch, Dirrell.

Derrell actually won that fight. What are you talking about. You don't win by running.

Does Ward possess the abilities that Froch has?

Ward v Bute would in my opinion be totally different to the fight we just witnessed. Ward has neither the punching power or come forward ability that Froch has.

Ward declined the fight with Bute, fact.

Doesn't matter because Ward wold beat Bute. I don't care how Froch did it. I had more doubts about Froch beating Bute then I did about Ward BUT Ward should have taken the fight but I think the guys at 168 didn't really care for Bute much because he hasn't been in any wars and felt he was not worthy and Froch showed that.

[Ray*]

Let me make it simple for you. Just because Froch dominated Bute doesn't mean Ward could in the same manor.

Ward had plenty of opportunities to make it happen and he declined.

Am glad Ward decline the fight, He was right Bute didnt deserve the opportunity and him losing to Froch had nothing to do with it, He cant be fighting mediocre competition in his hometown and then expect to get the opportunity at Ward who had to go through better competition in the super 6 tournament, I think Bute himself realise that too and that's why he left his comfort zone by taking the fight against froch in the UK.
