say what u want about ward but he is a technician to me. loved watching him win the gol an love how he has excelled against better competition. the best is yet to come for him in my mind.
WTF? When did Froch beome the most popular SMW? I remember at the start of the Super 6, no one liked him - or even respected him. I am glad for him having his day in the sun.
A storm is coming to rain over his sunny day :yep [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-REWbcnKWLU[/ame]
I'd favor Bute over any fighter in the division right now, with the exception of Ward. Ward would turn that fight into an ugly, messy brawl, and Bute doesn't do well in fights he can't control (i.e., the first fight with Andrade). S.O.G.! S.O.G.! (Stupid chant, I know)
Corection : he DID absolutely controled the first fight with Andrade, and for Ward to turn the fight into an ugly, messy brawl, he need to get close and presure Bute. We all know Bute waits with the counter. Bute fights midd range, so he`ll be fine in this one.
BUTE all the way. I have followed Bute`s career from the very begining. I remember the Olimpics eliminator between Bute and Simion. That was a nice fight back then.
I still root for my boy. :happy (no homo) 1. Abraham 2. Bute/Froch 3. Johnson/Kessler 4. I don't care. :smoke
The poll is accurate because of the last fight effect. Bute fought Brinkley 2 months ago and Froch outboxed AA 2 days ago. PS : WesT you are dooing such a great job and your coments are accurate and fun to read.
Wow ... against Dorel Simion? Amateur World and European Champion in 97/98 and Olympic bronze medalist? :shock: Who won the fight?.. they said Bute won it but the scorecards were unfair. And way didn't Dorel ever turned pro? I heard that Don King tried to signed him.
