Just read this on F****news. Froch wants to fight Lucian Bute in September and Mick Hennessy has already made contact with the Bute camp to arrange terms. He's willing to go to Montreal if he can't lure Bute to Nottingham, Once again offering the home advantage to his opponent in a bid to get the big fights. Froch is really setting down a marker.
I hope this gets made. Great fight for both of them and the division. Beats Bute fighting some scrub that he keeps getting linked with.
Big props for Froch. He knows he doesn't have a ton of time left in the sport, and is doing everything he can to accomplish as much as possible in as short a time span as possible. With all the politics in boxing and great matchups being left at the drawing board because of them, it's refreshing to see fighters like him. Also, credit goes to Bute- he's too good to be fighting scrubs now. Great matchup.
:happy:happy:happy:happy:happy Andrade during this time will heal his injury and take a tune-up and fight the unified champion. Guaranteed great fight.
I actually like this fight's chances. Other options are a bit slim for each guy at the moment. Only catch I can see is that Bute can make a solid payday when Andrade is healthy again and may not want to endanger that. Froch is impressive in seeking out quality fights. Major props to him for it.
I've seen the atmosphere generated in the Bell Center for Bute fights, The place is electric. If this fight get's made i think i might fly over. What's Montreal like my Canadian friend's.
****ing great...Bute will give a boxing lesson to Froch and another to Andrade....after its Kessler Baby (this one will be very very tough). :happy
