Andre Ward said : "I was disappointed ......"

The thing is that, if Bute were to «loose» his belt in Nottingham, there would be a second fight in Montreal. Other than that, the second fight won't happend. If he wins without a doubt, he's available for a Ward fight by fall. So, it gives time for Ward to heal his hand and maybe get rid of a mandatory in June or so. Then we could find out «who the man» is at SMW.

 

Actually it is NOT a two-match deal but a one match deal with a rematch clause to be activated upon Bute's request only in case of closed/controversial Froch win. Of course it makes perfect sense: if Bute wins, there will be no second Froch match, if he loses, he would have no longer a belt and he would come from a loss against Ward's last opponent so he would be in a very weak negotiation position for a possible match with Ward (besides, in the second case and with no rematch clause, it would be senseless to speak about "unification" for a Bute with no IBF belt).
So Ward should really have no problem about that. If it'd be to speculate about Ward's reasons to be annoyed by the rematch clause, I think that for unification purposes he would clearly prefer a rematch with Froch as eventual IBF champ because he has his own win blueprint and he feels pretty safe he can't lose against him, while Bute would be a more dangerous opponent with more speed and skill for whom there would be no realistic winning strategy blueprint (waiting for him to became exhausted at the end because of anemia as in his risky Andrade I match is not a serious strategy at all, and a possible controversial home-made Froch win would not set a clear winning strategy). Therefore, the ideal scenario for Ward should be: Froch wins in Nottingham, there is no Bute rematch in Montreal (in which Bute would likely take back the belt), and he fights Froch again in an easier unification match. The rematch clause rules out this ideal run.

Ermmmm. No, he does not have "all" the other belts; the name Stieglitz does sound familiar to you?

 

Dont wanna jump into any silly arguments, but you are as smart as you look :hey.

 

Thank u! I do come across intelligent, superficially! I look like a wizkid ya dizzigg!:tong

 

Yes, it is. In an interview about Bute and the s6, a showtime s6 spokesman was questioned as to why Bute was not included in the original 6 and they said that Bute was considered of course, but scheduling was an issue along with Bute's contractual obligation to HBO.
When Bute was freed of his HBO obligations, they signed him to fight as an alternate in the s6, but due to the original wording in the contracts, the remaining participants had to agree on each alternate. Interbox was not liscenced to promote outside Canada, and while they tried to get Bute in as an alternate, he was kept out by "several camps" refusal to copromote with interbox.
I don't memorize articles, and I don't copy paste unless I link a source. I thought this was common knowledge as to why Bute did not participate in the s6 as an original or alternate.

Now, Hearn was willing to fight in Canada where copromoting would not be an issue. But if you put 2 and 2 together, you can see who was the stalwart.

 

He is ducking Dirrel. But how is that rascist?:huh

 

Apologies if I've got this wrong,but can you clarify what you mean in the highlighted text please?
The way it reads to me seems as if you're saying there is no blueprint for beating Bute,and Ward's only strategy thus far would be to hope Bute gassed late on.
I'm not looking for an argument and from what I've seen,you're not prone to making outlandish statements so again,apologies if I've picked you up wrong but this seems at the very least,a tad bizarre.

 

As for now, there has been no working strategy for beating Bute as a pro since he is undefeated. It would be most probably fallacious to consider what happened the Andrade I fight as a possible strategy for beating him (everybody knows he was really close to losing the fight at the end of the match, so one might think "why not wait for the late rounds, when Bute should run out of fuel") because Bute gassed late due to his anemia (that is: an event very unlikely to repeat itself again), not due to a regular physical fading during the match. In other words, if Ward prepares to outbox Bute late on the fight hoping his forces will fall down, then his hope should rely also on the improbable event of Bute being anemic again for that fight, that is: a very unrealistic plan.
Hope I explained myself better this time.

 

its like talking to a 3 year old kid in his why fase. your clueless if thats the only come back you have.

 

tried to get a logical answer to his accusations but failed, dont worry i shot and missed, dont intend on wasting any more ammo on him. :nut
