They can't put it for free this time. With the contract Bute signed with Interboxe, they need money coming in. They also need to sell him more for him to become internationally known.
No news, but I have a question: Can both Molitor and Bute get the attention they need from Larouche? Does Stephane train anyone else, as that fighter's main trainer?
Stéphane Larouche actually gave an interview regarding this. He said there isn't any scheduling problems since Bute trains late and Molitor early. And since they train in the same gym, there doesn't seem to be any real problem. But the schedule is getting tighter, hence the reason why he refused to take N'Goudjo.
If I'm not mistaken, Larouche is also the main trainer for Benoit Gaudet but anyway, they have a good team and all in all, Larouche must be delegating alot of his responsabilities to other trainers.
I don't see any problems with Larouche giving enough time for both guys. He is used to take care of many good prospects and champions at the same time. As long as he can focus on one, for a particular fight, the rest of his time is spent in the gym for every other stable mates. So far, the results are pretty decent, don't you think ? 9 more nights 'till the big show, :bbb just can't wait! :happy Go Bute Go!:happy

Beside the semi-final, I will watch carefully Bergeron against Guinn. First fight for Bergeron since he lost to Valuev last year.
Great stuff!! :happy By the way, what are the sportsbook odds on the Bute v. Andrade fight? Cannot fight any...:huh
