Bute Vs. Froch - It's officially on!

Ward vs Kessler was part of the tournament. Did you honestly not know that?

 

you have the most simplistic answers, if he wants to be the best 168 yes he needs to face bute, and of corse the ibf belt is crap... what does ward have to offer?

 

I think Ward/Bute is an interesting style match up and I really can't pick a winner at this point. I'd like to see any combination of Ward/Dirrell/Bute I could get. Dirrell is kind of a wild card. He was stuck into the tourney before he was ready. My opinion anyhow. I take the Dirrell that showed me what he had post point deduction against Froch against ANYONE at 168. I hope rushing him hasn't impacted his development too negatively.

 

Anyone?

 

no he was not, the ''most logicle'' reason was it would be to many promoters, for the second part, its all a mistery, no one realy knows why, all i can say is that ward is the only one who got everything he wanted.... i will leave it at that.

 

There's persistents rumours that Goosen,the Ward's manager had intercede against Buté in the development of the Supersix. At the very beginning, the name of Buté was an option. I remembered one of the first tv advertisement of the S6, (maybe it was the first 360 camp) and they were showing papers with the first scenario and the name of Buté was on. It seems that after talks they decide to go with the formula three americans, three europeans.

And after Kessler and Taylor leaving, another rumours that Goosen was against Buté coming in the S6.

 

His promoters refused to copromote with interbox and threatened to leave the tournament if fighters were allowed in who were not agreed upon by all remaining participants as per the contract.

Basically he wouldn't fight Bute inside the tournament. Makes financial sense as he stands to make 10X as much by fighting him outside it. And after he had won a portion of the belt, he could legally leave the tournament and fight again without worry about being sued since all fighters and their promoters had to be agreed upon by the other teams.

I always thought it was just about money and that Ward would fight Bute immediately after he won......but I guess theres less risk/reward with TDirrel, Kessler, Steilgitz and the BHOP. Make some quick cash vs Kessler then Tony or Steig, then move up real fast and beat old BHOP by uneventful sparring like decision.:deal

 

Very interesting post :good

 

As per my above post.....Anyone figure out WHY Dirrel was only cleared to fight AFTER the s6 had ended?

Because legally.....he could. Same for Kessler.
Although I don't doubt the severity of Mikkels injuries and I don't think Showtime would have had a problem with Kessler Bute happening before the tournament was over.:think

 

Most is conjecture based off loosely phrased statements made by Bute's team irt G@@53N, but reading some of the contract details and you can read between the lines.
MOF....it has damned near become a crime to speculate G@@53N's intentions. The man has basically outlawed public callouts of his fighters.

 

I know it's your favorite pass time to insult others but you didn't answer the statement using proper context. Anyways, I don't expect a guy like you that seems to simply ***** about something or someone every second post he writes..to take time to lighten up about the subject...

You use to be a good poster...quite sad.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

I guess I haven't been around long enough to remember those days.
