Bute dodged a bullet by not being in the Super 6

The disrespect for Dirrel is disgusting, lets face it he was the second best fighter in the tournament. He clearly beat Froch and was robbed, and he embarrassed Abraham, and would have skunked Kessler, only losing to Ward.

Ward, Kessler, Dirrell and Froch all would have beaten him. He would've wound up looking like Allan Green

Taylor's chin had been cracked, Bute coulda beat him
but other than that, the super 6 lineup all kick his ass
people didn't determine that just after the Froch loss
most saw all along Bute was a weak paper champ
best wins were Andrade and past it Miranda
he had this beatdown coming to him for a while
better Froch did it than Ward too, since it ended in a brutal KO

I think y'all looking to deep into this ass whipping. Bute was feeling himself & Froch was a dog cornered.

Great post.

And why didn't Bute jump at the chance to get in the Super Six when Taylor dropped out? When Kessler dropped out? When Dirrell dropped out? It's quite obvious.

All I know is that the super six winner declined to fight Bute. Showtime always planned to put Bute up against the winner of the Super Six for a Super fight. But all we got from Ward and his camp was “Bute needs to fight someone” “we’re having a long break”
The fans wanted this match up, Showtime needed this super fight. Ward declined.
Showtime was obviously annoyed with Ward’s decision to decline a fight with Bute especially after they put so much money and time into the super six tournament and also building Bute up. Show time even tried to put their foot down by not showing the Bute vs Froch showdown. But now we will never have that super fight at 168.

Even taylor would of took a dump on his chest after knocking bute out, not gonna lie but I was drawn into the bute hype I'm sure he'll come back stronger though.
