hahah this. I mean it's obvious he believes he's better than Froch, he MUST believes he's better than Froch.
It's obvious you haven't watched the vids. He doesn't say he's better. Nor does he suggest he's better. All he says is that he felt weird entering the ring and that he wasn't himself that night. edit: you're right. He said that.
2.27 in the first part. "J'ai travaillé vraiment fort. J'ai tout fait pour gagner ce combat-là. J'ai accepté de venir chez lui, devant ses partisans, parce que je croyais, j'avais confiance, puis je croyais que je peux gagner. Je savais que je suis meilleur que lui. Mais je sais encore." How do you translate this then ?
:good You're right. Thanks for putting me right.:deal He says he thought he was better than Froch and that he still does. Delusional, clearly. :good
No problem man. :good He says it and I don't see any problem with that, it doesn't bother me at all and I find it normal. Don't you ? I mean if he believes other boxers are better than him than he may as well retire tomorrow. What's the point in a rematch if he doesn't like his chances.
He is the better technician and the one who can box better. Maybe that what he's trying to say. Slugger Froch is worlds apart from Slugger Bute. :yep
No I don't dislike him for his ethnicity. No I don't think he's aware of me, nor do I care if he is.... I really don't wish for him to get smashed up again by Grachev, Grachev is a C-level fighter at best, if Bute loses to him he's even worse than I thought he was.
Yes and no. One thing is to say: I wasn't myself that night. I know I can do much better.... and another is to say: I know I was better than him and I still know that I am better than him... after you've been outboxed and destroyed in five rounds! I appreciate that you have to have a winner's mentality in this game, especially for a rematch, but it's easy to become delusional too. From that comment, I think Bute's a bit delusional... :conf
No, it doesn't mean that. It means Froch "took his soul and destroyed him mentally", because not even a big hater like you could imagine Grachev beating a prime Bute, surely!
