Bute:I would love to go as far as I can as a Super Middleweight, fighting everybody

Bute's Trainer about Kessler: "He left. Running. Apparently he was running going to the airport!"


Boxing Insider: Now can you share with me anything that’s going on with the next opponent? Now that Carl Froch has been elevated to a mandatory by the IBF, how does that play into everything? Who do you see Lucian fighting next?
Stéphan Larouche: “Well to be honest with you, I know that Carl Froch is the mandatory, and we were pleased about it for two reasons: First of all, he’s a credible opponent, and second of all he deserves it. He deserves more than a lot of fighters so hopefully he will be our next opponent in our very next fight, either in Montreal or in England if we need to go to England. There’s one thing that is truth, and that’s that Carl Froch has been the guy in the Super Six that had been the most game one, you know?”


Boxing Insider: Right.
Stéphan Larouche: “He’s been traveling fighting everyone everywhere. As far as the USA, he came to fight Jermain Taylor. So, if there’s one thing that we have to give to Carl Froch is he was away from home, and we respect that. He’s a true warrior, that’s the reason why Lucian would love to fight him in the very next fight. I think that you know, styles make fights, and Froch is a tough, durable guy. Very strong, and always in great condition. These are all the ingredients to give Lucian a good fight.”






And I would say that Mikkel Kessler is also a guy that, before we became a champion, Kessler was already there. Lucian was at one of his fights, when he fought Markus Beyer and Lucian was not even the champion yet…and he was real impressed.



We know that Dirrell talks a lot, but he is a runner. He is not a crowd-pleaser, he doesn’t fight at all. He’s just a runner. And I think that it’s going to be hard for him to sell any tickets and also get the attention of great television. But we would rather fight Froch, because he also beat Dirrell. So we’d rather fight the guy that beat the guy. He beat Pascal. He beat Dirrell. And he lost only against good guys.

Me knows. But the Promotion was done all wrong.

He may also say that we don’t deserve to fight him yet, which we could agree with. We just want to fight the best, that’s all we’re trying to do. So saying that Ward is not available for any reason; and Kessler came to Montreal to see Lucian fight against Magee, and apparently almost missed his plane! The thing is, I don’t know why he came to Montreal. He came ringside, where we provided him a great seat to see Lucian from close, close sight…and I think he didn’t like what he was seeing.

I want Bute-Froch more, so I don't care. But I'm afraid Ward will duck him much longer than 1 fight, at least 2 until he starts feeling the pressure from the fans same way Bute is feeling the pressure now.

 

The pressure is justified, he needs to give his fans exciting fights. Ward, Froch, Kessler, Dirrell, even Pavlik. Keep talking and they would not avoid you forever. He needs to do everything in his power to get some of those guys.
