President of Showtime Sports, Ken Hershman, who has said in the past that Bute was "not invited to participate" in tournament http://www.boxing*****.com/lucian-bute-not-missing-being-part-super-six--22992 http://www.******scene.com/lucian-bute-not-missing-being-part-super-six--22992 Dirrel with hit and run in the same sentence.....makes sense....
Yes there are alot of conflicting stories are you 100% sure what you are talking about? Do you think he may of not entered because he is happy fighting tomarto cans to a sell out crowd in the bell centre Montreal, dont try and give it Billy big bollocks when not 100% yourself. :hey
Three questions for you: 1) Do you think Bute should have remached Andrade after their first fight? 2) If not, would you believe that he would lose credibility after this? 3) Do you believe that Showtime would have started the S6 tournament later, after Bute vs. Andrade rematch only because Bute asked for it? I believe it was a "mutual rejection". Showtime didn't want Bute and Bute didn't complained at all about not being part of the tournament. Except the fact that, prior to the tournament, Bute had no idea that boxing fans would crave for a fight with the, unkown at that time, Andre Ward. Prior to the S6 Ward's resumee was on par with Magee's. Even Miranda was more popular at that time. Also, he never would have guessed that he would require cryogenics measures so that he can fight the winner of the tournament. If I hate 168 it's for one thing: huuuuge gaps between fights. The boxers that I regularly watch are taking 6 months of preparation to fight lesser opponents or they fight between themselves, which is good but that reduces the number of interesting matches. We are in March and the last interesting 168 match took place in November (5 f***ing months). It's not like I'm the Highlander or something.
This is reasoning? What has to do Montreal with hands` speed? Maybe you coud imply referring but even there the last four ring referees were Americans as somobody already told you!
That`s why Ring and Rafael have him No. 2 right now right?But of course you know better.Be sure to not lose Bute-Kessler next fall.
The Ring and Dan Rafael- The hallmark of recognition These arse kissing lucian bute threads make me sick, this bloke has done **** all in the division
You are not reasonable. You can say Bute has not faced the cream of the division but to say he has done nothing is plain stupid. Andrade was number 5 both times Bute fought him. He also beat many other top ten (bottom top ten) and he did it more impressively than anybody else in the division. Ward, for example, was not able to KO Green. Froch, except against Abraham, struggled in all his victories. He still has to prove he can do it against the best but try to be a bit logical. You are more arse kicking than Bute's fans are arse kissing.
Well, it's hard to say. He is not faster, that's for sure. Maybe a little bit less fast. A sure thing is he doesn't throw flurries like in the video anymore. He's more selective.
I believe that, if you put Bute fight two times match+rematch with any SMW you want, the worst he'll do is win one and lose one. Bute has great boxing skills and pretty low experience, but at the moment he's the only guy not to have lost a match in this division. In 168 there is no better weapon then Bute's uppercut to the liver. He was left out of S6, that was Showtime's decision, not his. In a moment when almost all good SMW's: Froch, Ward, Abraham where involved in the tournament, he took Andrade (which was a top 5 boxer at 168 at that time) and knock him out in four with a head blow and a body blow, both in the same round. Personally I believe Bute took the best fights available at the time. You should blame Showtime for not introducing the most skilled SMW at that period in time in S6. If they done that then, now we would have been watching Word - Bute or Froch - Bute. Instead we see Bute fighting regular guys, expecting Super Six to be over. Do you guys seriously believe everyone wants to fight Bute, and Bute just avoids them? That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Let Froch win the Super Six and we shall see a unification bout with Bute. We'll talk then about who and what. Until then, Bute remains quite unexperienced, but also undefeated. Every boxer has his advantages. Froch has experience, Bute has talent and skill. It wouldn't be the first time talend and skill triumphs over experience. Watch Lennox Lewis - Razor Ruddock.
