In praise of Lucian Bute

[Rantcatrat]

Lucian Bute has unfairly been overlooked ever since he was knocked out by Librado Andrade last October.

In this poster's opinion, Bute evinces class in every sense of the word. He displays class in the ring. Last weekend, he easily dispatched Zuniga, knocking him out with a highlight reel body shot (that body shot put the 'b' in beautiful). As a 6'2 southpaw, Bute would spell trouble for most other fighters at 168. Right now, with Kessler out of the fight game for the foreseeable future, this poster favors Bute over all the top fighters of the division: Froch, Taylor, and Andrade. He already dispatched Bika with ease - the scorecards read 118-109 twice and 116-111.

Bute also displays class outside the ring. After his aforementioned controversial defeat, even Andrade didn't have a bad word to say about him and Bute, to his credit, badly desires a rematch just to set the record straight. His adopted hometown, Montreal, loves him, which is evidenced by the fact that he sells out the Bell Center in every fight.
