    Now that Froch is rumored to have a homecoming on May 5th.
    Hopkins is seems to be fighting Dawson next.
    Kessler is fighting Stieglitz... is he ?... and He's not American.
    What fighter with good US fanbase could Showtime provide for Bute beside or including Dirrell and Taylor ?
    Ward said that Bute needs to fight 1 or 2 A lvl fighters... I'm starting to believe that the A came from American.
    Why is Showtime screwing with us by refusing Froch, it was the best fight next to Bute-Ward.

    Yeah that's sad they can't do Bute-Froch :-( What a stupid decision from ST.
    I hope Lucian won't chose Taylor otherwise his haters will be happy. :lol:

    :yep

    You should.
    These rumors might be more accurate than the facts at what was it... Froch Abraham who was moved to ... where ? Finland or something like that? And you were suppose to call Froch brother.
    :lol:

    These rumors are probably false.
    Bute - Froch is a much more marketable fight then Bute - Taylor/Dirrell.
    Showtime wants to get Bute vs Ward in the states(something that Bute wants himself as well).
    I predict that we get Ward - Dirrell(Anthony) and Bute has a non contract fight like he did against Mendy.

    If Bute gonna fight Taylor next , i won't watch that fight. How the F can you choose Taylor over Froch , finalist of your overhyped tournament? I really hope this doesn't happen.

    Team Bute will announce his opponent 3 weeks before the fight. It will be Sartison and the fight won't take place on SHO but will have a replay on Eurosport 2. SHO will sue Bute and ask for 8 mil $ for ruining the station's image. Bute's next fight: November 2012 against a mandatory.
    Dirrell doesn't want to fight Bute in April. I take real money bets for this one.

    No one wants Taylor, it would be too easy for Bute. So we know who Bute will choose now :yep

    Bute-Froch has potential to be the best fight that SMW ever has seen, bad move by Showtime.

    Taylor-Bute: Another brutal KO by bute
    Bute-Dirrell: Wouldn't mind seeing it, hoping for an violent KO by Bute, since i can't stand Dirrell
