In praise of Lucian Bute

[Lance Uppercut]

For those who think Marlon is the worst ref….here some fun:

That makes the robbery of Andrade look not so bad.

I agree that is a problem, but the fact is I think no I will always harbour a bit of resentment against Bute because of that night, even if it wasn't his fault. I know that's not logical or right, but its just the way I feel. It's hard on Bute because he's a really good fighter, who could take over the SMW division, but IMO that will always be hanging over him, because it was more than people believing the judges got it wrong, the whole of that fight stank of corruption to me. If & when the fight is made, I'll think about a sig bet, I have to get a sig first

Exactly, guys like Bute who never did something wrong (he didn’t cheat like… he doesn’t talk shit like…he doesn’t use dirty tricks: headbutts, lowblows, back of the head hitting, etc. like….) get a lot of hate, or at least “a bit of resentment” …………………………………………That’s not fair …………………………………………

Anyway I’m glad he’s back with a tremendous performance !!! ……………………

BTW the title of the thread is:In praise of Lucian Bute

So what I should sit here trying to get up his arse. I'm at least honest about why I feel like that. As for Bute not using dirty tricks, well he hardly fought like an angel in the Andrade fight, pushing him to the floor for that corrupt a-hole to score it a knockdown, grabbing Andrade's leg and lifting off the floor than trying to punch him. He may well be a nice guy, but don't try and play like he isn't dirty in the ring, almost all top professionals find someway to bend the rules, and Bute is no different. With another ref he would have been in trouble. Also don't try the nice guy routine, because Andrade is a much nicer guy, if Bute was so honest, he wouldn't have tried saying he wasn't hurt at the end. Like I say, its not fair that I resent him because of what happened, but please don't make him out to be the second coming of Jesus.
