Andre Ottke Ward is a featherdusting runner. Bute has the speed and sklills of Kessler but more of each, with the power of Froch accpet more punching power than Froch. You gotta admit Bute is the best SMW. Bute is a big puncher, a large SMW and he is fast. Ward has no punching power at all.
A man who just entered the supersix with only 20 professional fights, got no chance whatsoever from the public and still won is ducking Bute who's biggest win is Glen Johnson. Dumbass.
These ****s have no respect. Ward thinks Bute hasn't been fighting anyone, and guess what, HE HASN'T. Bute must have been in talks with Froch from months before and Ward says "Bute who?" immediately after the fight and you bitches say he's ducking. Get a life.
Isn't it slated for March or April? Why the **** would the S6 champion have to be hog tied into making some decision on some hometown hype-jobs timeline?
Are people THIS stupid? Ward said he will probably take a break and after that, if he wants to take a stay busy fight, can anyone blame him? He'll fight Bute when he's good and ready.
Ducking has nothing to do with your past. It has to do with what you do. Ward may have a plan for a super fight against Bute but until then, he's the one avoiding the other. Ward had previously said the super 6 winner had to fight Bute. Now he says dumb things about Bute to justify the fact he doesn't want to face him anymore.
Ward saying Bute needs to "beat somebody" is quite illogical to say since Ward vs Anthony Dirrell is probably next. Ward was, is Bute's first choice for a spring fight. Goosen told Interbox they wanted an easier fight for Andre's homecoming. Ward should have just said "I need to fight a mandatory opponent as a result of the S6, I'll fight Bute later this year". But.. he scared.
Maybe because the supposed hype-jobs is the number 2 of the division? Maybe because he brings more money than the number 1?
Better known than most of the home grown. The money wouldn't be in the gate though it would do well enough if he fought Ward. Bute would bring more people from Canada to Oakland than Ward would bring into Oakland. Ward MIGHT do slightly better now after the tourney, but it will just be some newbs and they won't last long.
