~~~The Lightning Lucian Bute Battleship~~~

Yawn

 

Can't wait for this one!

Can Grachev remain unbeaten and continue his string of upsets? Can Bute gain redemption and get back to his destructive form against an undefeated KO puncher? Only time will tell :bbb :happy

 

Bute by Murder

 

Sounds familiar,except change Bute for Froch.
And time did tell.:yep

 

That was long ago :verysad

 

Not that long.

I promised the missus that I would cut it down to four beatings a week and two viewings a day after a year...


And I've still got a while to enjoy yet.:happy:bbb

 

Bute is going to take Grachev's 0, and then Froch's title :yep

Interbox will sign a new contrct with Bute for a additional 3 fight deal...

How many fights after the Grachev fight do you guys think Bute will have, before retirement, assuming he beats Grachev and fights Froch next?

I think probably another 3 or 4 and at most 5:

Froch rematch and Pascal showdown are a must.

I think Bute will get to fight Abraham and/or Kessler at some stage too - money is too good not to. Ward? Only if Bute beats Froch. I doubt there will be a third fight even if Bute beats Froch.

Anyway, I hope it's these 3/4/5 and not just Froch and a few others whom we've never heard of...

 

This battleship sank long ago,move on.

 

Bute wants everyone... He will go for as many top names as possible in as short of a time period as possible. Those are actually his words to me...in Romanian.

I give him 5 fights.

 

I'm looking forward for this event! Bute-Grachev is only interresting because of what happened last time Bute was in a ring, but the undercard is nice!

Renan St-Juste vs Allan Green : Both beat Sébastien Demers (St-Juste KO2, Green close UD while being rocked a fiew times)

Sébastien Gauthier vs Rodrigo Guerrerro : 1st fight at 115 for Gauthier (all his career was at 118/122). Don't know much about Guerrerro but some people told me Gauthier never fought a guy like him, so it should be a good fight!

Francy Ntetu vs Schiller Hyppolite : Local fight with 2 talented prospects, high level boxing for a local fight!

Sébastien Bouchard vs Glisandy Mejia : Same as Ntetu vs Hyppolite, 2 local prospects. Note, Bouchard is a friend of Apou.

Éric Martel Bahoeli (Qc) vs Bogdan Dinu (Rom) : First time in a while that we see the Québécois and Romanians divided like that. Martel doesn't look like he's at Dinu's level, but it still should be a good fight!

 

:good

Bahoeli gets paid. Without Dinu, would he have been on the undercard? Even then, would he have got as much money? I doubt it.

But yeah, a decent undercard!:good

 

You're right but.. did I say otherwise? I just said Martel doesn't look as good as Dinu, that's it. Besides, I know he's probably doing his highest purse, but it will still be his 3rd loss back to back. He also has a canadian championship coming up next (no matter the outcome of the Dinu fight) and it will be against the last guy who beat him.

... So yeah, I hope he gets paid alright!
