Bute really wants froch?

[erics44]

and bute is desperate for froch because he thinks he will go to canada and that its his chance to fight a big name in his home town in front of his fans

he wont be so excited about the fight if froch demands it in england

That was the whole point of the two-fight deal: to give each guy a chance to win in their hometown. If Bute really wants a Froch fight, he should consider doing the first fight in Nottingham and the second fight in Montreal.

Erics, do you think Groves is ready for Bute or Froch?

exactly, and it wont happen, i cant see even if they sign a 2 fight deal they will have 2 fights

perhaps i am too pessimistic

I dont think groves is ready do you? he's only had 13 fights or whatever it is, i think at the minute both would probably stop him, in 5 or 6 fights time tho you never know

Maybe he needs a little more seasoning but Groves has come to the US and sparred with Andre Dirrell etc. and Andre Dirrell said he was very good. I guess there are a good amount of options at the domestic level in the UK to keep him busy for now?

Bute is in between a rock and a hard place here. Who does he fight? If Froch wants an easier fight in his Nottingham now and Ward also wants to take an easier fight for the time being, Dirrell may be the only option even though the main fight he should be in is against Ward. There aren't any other available top ten guys and I don't see why Bute should leave 168 when he can still safely make weight.

i think groves is almost running out of options in the UK, assuming he beats anderson (which i think is a really hard fight) who is there?

is tony jeffries still at super middle? Brian Magee maybe although i wouldnt have thought there would be much chance he would want groves, there is a good chance he would lose and that would be him right back out of title contention

I dont think theres any harm in him stepping back for a couple of fights, maybe figting rocky fielding maybe

obviously theres degale too but i cant see that happening any time soon

The problem Bute has is he always fights in canada, I wouldnt have thought dirrell would fight him there, probably the best he can hope for is the kind of second tier of fighters willing to travel

I think thats why he is so keen on froch

Brian Magee is the exact type of fight Groves should be angling for in the near future. It may be too early in his career now, but sometime soon that is the perfect type of developmental fight.
