Lucien Bute.. An explanation please..

he is pretty good but when fanboys say that Ward is ducking him, well that's just plain bull****. If he beats Froch convincingly then I will be a believer.

Must have had the wrong guy, because I'm 6'1'' and Bute is taller than me.

 

Well, Ward did say the winner of the S6 should fight Bute, then, after winning, he said he doesn't want to fight Bute. You have to admit it's looking a little bit like ducking.

 

I highly recommend watching the Bika fight. He has skill and power. You'll see what the fuss is about. In answer to your question though, I wouldn't say coddled or even absolutely protected, but he's definitely Montreal's golden boy, next to Pascal, the people who manage him are very duly careful about putting together a solid resume and the long term career goal, in Quebec and abroad. Or I should say 'were.' because his iron will to break out into the stratosphere is taking him to Nottingham. Oh, and yeah, he can close the show when he wants to as in the Miranda fight. Extremely poised (he doesn't lose his stance or calm pacing in the slightest even when throwing real bombs) powerful body hooks and uppercuts. A south-paw that can change style at will (he looked like Martinez against Johnson)

 

So in fact Abraham won vs Dirrell?

 

:good

 

Bullseye!

 

Kessler has faced Andrade, Froch, Calzaghe, Ward and Sartison.. All unbeaten at the time and he is 3-2 in those fights..

 

He states Froch is slowing down a bit; that means the slowing down is currently happening and will continue untill the 26th. maybe he wanted to say Froch started slowing down at the end of the super6 finale?

 

It seems obvious he has been slowing down from the exact moment the bell ended his fight against Ward. He went from a beast to a dirty laundry bag instantly.

 

Very fair post :thumbsup

 

:good Maybe Kessler has some kind of record ......?

 

People always say that, but once he was left out of the super six tournament, who could he have fought ? Pavlik and Kessler refused to fight him. Then Bute said he wanted to fight Ward, and Ward responded that he was unproven. So I think Bute always wanted to fight the best, he just didn't get the opportunity.
