Comments Thread For: Lucian Bute: I Want My Revenge Against Carl Froch

[IronDanHamza]

Props for Bute for wanting it again after the beatdown he received.

Can't see much changing this time though.

i still think this is idle talk from bute.
in reality he wants nothing to do with the improved froch.
he'll just get his ass handed to him by carl. probably quiker.

won't believe it till both get in the ring.

... Just business, indeed...
Bute HAD to call for the rematch, as planned... He HAD to exercise his clause -- Froch would lose money if he doesn't grant the rematch...
Then, Froch would have to ask IBF for an exception -- that is not fighting next the mandatory challenger, Adonis Stevenson... But IBF might deny the exception and Froch will face Stevenson... In case Stevenson wins, Bute will never call Froch, he will call Stevenson instead... In case Froch beats Adonis, Bute will buy some more time...

Froch will make this fight in a heartbeat. The last thing Bute wants to see is Carl lose to Kessler before he gets his rematch(not saying froch loses). I can see Bute doing better this time around, may even build an early lead, I just don't think he'll weather what Froch will be bringing the last third of the fight. To Butes credit he came back from the Andrade loss,a much much better fighter.
