    From ESPN. Nothing official yet.

    "Bute said he'd give Andrade a rematch. However, he may end up defending against German-based Dane Mads Larsen (50-2), as long as Larsen wins his fight against Roberto Cocco on Dec. 20."

    never heard of this Larsen guy, but i'm sure he's no match for the White Ali that is Lucian Bute...

    No. It's very quiet here in Montreal on Lucian's next fight.

    Yes, but there is no news on anything. As a fan I like it, even if it's frustrating. Last time, Lucian was on a promo tour with Andrade AND being filmed by a documentary team. I bet Bute is training like a beast.

    Bute's battleship will get Titaniced when he grows a pair and faces Allan Green.

    Let's hope he is.

    In truth, I think Bute took his eye off the ball a bit with Andrade. He bought himself this nice house, he has this steady/long-term girlfriend, he went on promo tours and he mixed with the stars a lot...Dorin, who has always been a critic, was saying in the Romanian press that it would take a toll on him...not sure whether it did, but he might have a point. Hope we see the old Bute again. I didn't much like the type that went on about his promoter when asked whether he'd give Andrade a rematch, or the one who got very defensive when asked questions about his performance.;)

    You call it dodging but i see it as a " smart move " on Green's part because at the time when he was offered a shot, he was going to managment/health issues. Plus Bute's team offered him chumpchange. A typical low blow move by a title holder when he doesn't want to fight.

    Green's been singing songs about wanting to fight Bute for the past couple months now so i don't know why ya are keep saying otherwise.

    Bute doesn't want none.

    I don't know what Green was offered this time; last time he said NO to what would have been his biggest ever payday, but anyway...Green's not beaten ANY Top 15 fighters, so he's not really a contender, so he should be very glad to get a title shot. Of course, since he's 90% sure to get KTFO, he sees this fight as a worse risk/reward than fighting all those bums once a year on FNF. It's his career!:conf

    Green can't even find his shoes, let alone his balls.

    He is a hell of a commentator though. Why not do the thing he's really good at, if he's half-hearted about boxing?

    It's not because he's half hearted. He's been calling out just about everyone at 168 but they all view him as a high risk/low reward opponent so they are running from him. He was supposed to face Taylor but that fight fell through, and now he's fighting TBA on the undercard of taylor/froch.

    Trust me, Green would take him out and Andrell Dirrell would make Bute look so silly.
