Lucian Bute

[Fenster]

I hope Miranda pull this off.

Froch says that Bute was offered to fight him but declined and that Bute just wants easy title defences.

If that's true, I'd love to know the context surrounding it. I'm not a huge Bute fan by any means, but he would crush Froch and he knows it.

Bute wanted the fight...Froch wanted the fight...Bute agreed to fight in England....This was IF Bute Andrade 2 fell through...Neither of the big networks (Sho/Hbo) wanted Bute Andrade 2....

Froch and his people then became arrogant putting stiulations on the fight on top of the agreement to fight in England...So talks of setting a date were scrapped.(That was Butes idea by the way)...

Bute/Andrade ended up signing and getting network support....Bute still wanted Froch and after the Taylor fight was hoping it would materialize but the Super 6 ended up spoiling everyones plans

How do you know that?

Don't you think it's far more likely Froch-Bute would have been in Canada?

1. Bute sells 15,000 tickets to Froch's 5,000 in England.

2. Bute hasn't left Montreal for 50 years. Froch has proved he's willing to defend his title in the other guys backyard - Taylor, Kessler.

3. Bute had Showtime and now HBO screening his fights. Froch isn't even on mainstream TV in the UK.
