Bute will not do his optional defence...He will fight Andrade 1rst in October!!!

If this is true, I can't wait.

 

Yes if this info is valid it'll be great. Happy to see Bute will be attempting to avenge his only loss.

As much as I'd like to see Andrade-Bute II, Froch-Bute is the bigger fight with the winner having a very good claim as the new top dog in the division. It's not worth delaying a chance at unification when there's going to be more opportunities to rematch Librado in the future.

 

First, I wanted the rematch to happen as soon as possible. Now, Andrade needs time to heal his elbow and even wants another fight before Bute. I think it's ok then for Bute to have a big fight before Andrade. Froch-Bute seems to be the only big fight easy to organize in the next couple of months. I also think both men are really interested. Let's do it!

 

Couldn't agree more! This is one of the fights that needs to happen in the division, and the sooner, the better :thumbsup

 

**** the Andrade rematch, they should go straight for the unification bout. Both Froch and Bute want it now and are both ready now. What's the point in delaying it when so many things can happen that would throw a spanner in the works. Andrade can fight the winner or something. He should remain towards the top of the division until then.

 

Can't wait for this,very good fight.Too bad for the big layoff,should have fought somebody on off tv Bute should have.
Froch fight also would be good but first things first.

 

The Froch group might be scared of fighting in Canada, claming they wouldn't receive a fair statement. Same for the Bute group in England. Why not do the fight in the States? Vegas?:huh. Even has I say that, I want it to be in Montreal so I can go to the fight...

 

Bute vs Andrade II definitely does not need to happen, Bute won 11 rounds, and I gave Andrade the 12th round. I thought Bute got up before the 10 count. The referee could of done a better job but it was legitimate call. I mean this isn't the first time controversial calls happened in boxing, think of Taylor-Chavez I and many other fights.

 

froch wont be scared of fighting in canada

 

Hopefully Andrade can knock him out... again.

 

According to this he's fighting Froch in England? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/ot...oised-world-championship-fight-home-town.html

 

Bute got up before the 10 count, I was counting at home and got to 7 or 8. All bull**** aside (and there definitely was some), you can't automatically assume Andrade would've finished the deal. People seem to be acting like Bute was out cold drooling for 30 seconds.

 

Because that fight wouldn't sell 1000 tickets in Vegas.
