Lucian Bute vs. Mads Larsen in The Works For Early 09

[Taranazan]

bute is ducking andrade but what do u expect from all those canadian protected paper champs

If there really was a robbery, then the IBF will give Andrade the mandatory spot for Bute's next defense. It is not Bute's job to judge that. Of course it would be better if he gave Andrade a rematch for his voluntary defense, but I think Bute has to fight in Europe has someone already mentionned.

Wtf is wrong with the super middle weight division?...Everyone is ducking and dodging each other this **** is getting annoying! Making voluntary title defenses against sorry ass fighters when they should be fighting the top elite fights in their division...At least Taylor and Froch are...I don't know what to say about Bute and especially Kessler...Bute holds so damn much...He should be fighting Andrade again who he got koed by, but he's going to dodge him for now on...Kessler destroyed andrade in fashion can't say the same for bute....

Exactly who's making volontary defenses?

Andrade and Haussler were both mandatories for Bute and Kessler.

these euro fighters complain about not getting US exposure and respect but here they are fighting and bitching about who gets the fight with a washed up can! WTF! Garbage'!

Bute ducks the guy who couldn't even knock him out... LOL
You can't keep Bute down, he beats the refs count, he beats the seconds. He wins! The end, does it suck he doesn't give a tough son of a ***** like Andrade a rematch? Of course it does, but Lucian Bute clearly won that fight, no robbery.

He won the fight on points, but he was clearly in no shape to continue even if he had gotten up at 9.
