WoW at return in Romania Bute's hand looked really swollen, and he said it looks better now the it was looking after the fight when he couln't even make a fist.
Meeting Abraham is non-sense for Bute since Johnson was clearely better than him.And about Direll, who is he?He lost arguably to Froch, won a DQ in retreat and is a star now?It`s obvously Ward`s team wants to buy time in order to meet an older Bute and/or to prepare their fighter better including studying their opponent tougher fights. Somehow they have right cause they will have two higher wins ahead of Bute in eventuality of a win against Froch.But if Bute wins a single match against one of those two, should be enough. So, probably we will have Ward-Kessler II and Bute-Froch next spring and in autumn the winners should meet, no more excuses.
Ward will probably fight Anthony Dirrell in OAKLAND if he beats Froch and gets the WBC belt. But what if Ward losses, Bute will fight Froch for Ward will only remain Kessler who would only fight him in Denmark that if Kessler would be interested in a beltless Ward. I think Ward is overrated yea he is technical but not that good,Fans are saying Ward adapts his style but i didnt see that in any of his fights i think his oponents gave up their game plans thats why Ward looked like he adapted his style.
I cannot see Ward fighting Dirrell any time soon. If Ward loses I think there's a good chance of seeing him in Canada against Bute. If he wins he'd command a gigapurse to leave the US.
You have it from the sources? All right, if wiill be march, could still be a match Ward -Kessler II in summer.
Perfect example for me was the Abraham fight,in the first 4 rounds Abraham had a stiff jab controling the distance and the fight after round 4 Abraham didnt throw the jab anymore and that cost him all the rounds left. Ward is not the fighter that has the guts to receive a punch in order to land one. I see no improvement in the Ward that fought Darnell Boone and the Ward that fought Abraham.
I said Anthony the brother the one with the guts but no talent.(compared to Andre) Bedard already said that Goosen is a gready man he asks gigapurses even though they dont have other big options a Ward fight in OAKLAND doesnt produce a purse for Ward bigger than 1.2 mil.$.
Showtime puts pressure on the promoters thats how they make big fights they say we give you this amount of $ if you fight that guy or this amount if you fight the other guy. Or if you fight this guy we will offer you a new 3 fight contract with this amount of money. Thats how negotiations role nobody in this world gives 2 mil.$ without asking anything in change.
Their was was only postponed and both fighters promoters talked about it last week. Kessler won't be ready for another fight in the summer. In facing Stieglitz, he passes his turn for an immediate shot at the winner of the super 6. He's second in line. That's if the winner wants to be in a big fight right after the tournament.
