DeGale: "I came to Quebec to show what kind of champion I am"

Great champions travel. Kessler, Froch, AA, DeGale, Bute, Calazghe, Benn and a list of other great super middleweights too.

Nearly forgot Ward, Ward went to... Nope, No, No he never, was going to fight abroad but he needed 3 "tunes ups" first.

 

Good chance he leaves Quebec as a non champion.

 

is it a champion without his own solid fan base? and the only way he sells out arenas is in his opponents back yard?

 

Probably, but unlike someone else with the same problem he has the cojones to fight overseas :yep

 

Yes, Bute is a very good fighter and people are still judging him on the Froch performance, yes he had a bad night but you can't ignore everything he did before that.

Credit to DeGale, he didn't have to go to Canada but he has, s being paid very well so if he gets a win its a great result and if it goes pear shaped the. He will have to bounce back and I would expect him to.

 

He has 3.5 million reasons to fight Bute in Quebec.

This has nothing to do with having big corones in my opinion.

Degale is getting more to fight Bute then GGG got for fighting Lemieux on PPV.

 

wow, he's cashing out :yep

 

Degale is too confident that he will win the fight with Lucian Bute. Lucian Bute is a smart boxer. do not forget that Lucian has more experience. do not forget that Bernard Hopkins won as, Kelly Pavlik fight !!! I think this will be repeated, and that Lucian will win this fight. a boxer who has been so long, world number 1, so should not be disregarded. he can produce surprise, which was waiting for me and many others !!!
in this fight, I see him winning the Lucian Bute.
I have a hunch that it will repeat the fight between Bernard Hopkins vs Kelly Pavlik !!!

 

What channel is the fight on? I live in US

 

Showtime at 11pm saturday night.
PPV in Canada

 

Where is the arena in Quebec City in relation to the Parliament Building? I stayed at the Marriott near the Parliament Building this summer and am curious.

 

Funny because Ward actually beat 3 of the guys you mentioned.

 

The fight will be at the new Vidéotron center but it 's about 5 kilometer from the parliament , in the down part of the city. The first boxing event in this new arena opened since a few months.

 

Bute got creamed the first time he left his backyard. He's the very definition of hometown protected fraud.
