Be honest. Do some people want to see Bute lose to Froch for Wards credit?

    Don't be ridiculous. When a fighter crosses the sea to go to USA, no single state is neutral. You are in your opponent's country.

    I look at the fights independently. Froch has grown on me over the course of the Super Six and I would like to see him pick up a good win. The fact that it would enhance Ward's legacy is secondary.

    Conversely, if Bute wins, it sets up a huge fight which I favor Ward to win. Only a few posters with obvious agendas think Ward is afraid of Bute.

    There is no Federal commission in the United States. Each state has its own commission; hence Magarito getting licensed in Texas despite objections from California. If a federal commission was in place, that could't happen.

    He gave Andrade a rematch. That should have calmed you down.

    Not exactly its like a do over and lets be real he had a 2nd chance to review tape make the adjustment and pull it out, it doesnt change the fact that he was knocked out in that fight and should have lost

    The risk to get robbed is bigger if you face an American in his homestate, compared with another state. But I agree you are on enemy territory in both cases.

    Wards fights are examples of this. His fights with AA and Froch had decents judging and refs. His fights with Kessler and Bika were borderline comedian.

    The opposite actually, I hope Bute smokes Froch. To put more pressure on Ward to get that fight made for 168 supremacy.

    He was staggering during the last minute of the 12th, everyone can give you that. But he wasn't knocked out as per the rules, that's a fact you can't change looking at the actual rules and watching the video with the clock.

    I bet you're also refusing to accept that Bute suffered from severe food poisoning just before the fight, admitting he had nothing left at all in the 12th due to anemia and consequently, exhaustion.

    Oh well. :conf
