Bute is obligated to face his mandatory Brinkley which is sad but true and he also has obligations with HBO to follow and since the tourney is Showtime, Bute will not be jumping ship.
Never a division had suck dirty and boring title fights : Froch vs Dirrell(dirty/boring) one two than take a knee , Miss then clinch . Hold brake miss then take a knee. Plus it was that **** that was yealling all the night ... i'll never forget : c'mon Frochy c'mon baby. Then there is Abraham vs Dirrell(dirty/acting) Dirrell schooling Abe then AA start's to come back he get's a KD the referee is blind he gets frustrated Dirrell takes' a knee(this time he involuntary) then get's ko'ed ---> DQ. Dirrell gets an oscar for runing around the ring crying and saying ...again i'll never forget this either : Let's me breath dawg. Let me breath yoo. I got knocked out. And he had a conversation with his corner that whas something like(this is out of my memory): Dirrell: I lost Corner man: No you won Dirrell : No i lost ...LMAO the baddest fake amnesia fail Punching the doctor who was trying to see if he's fit to continue the fight was priceless. Then there is the super fight between Ward and Green.(extremely boring) It's not Ward fault because Green is **** and had no heart but wtf is he doing in the "SUPER" six . Then there are the Drop outs Taylor who wash pushed out of the tourney .... for his safety ... ohhh c'mon men , the dude had been ko'ed by 1 of the most powerfull punchers in the tourney in the 12th round ffs and he was going to fight Ward who is not know as a power puncher / ko artist . That made me sad because Taylor vs Ward was def 100% better than Ward vs Green. Then Kessler drops out and they don't get to the exiting part -the knockout stages- they're still keen do do a Green vs Johnson Good i hope Green get's ko'ed and as a mock to wat they've done i want Johnson to get in the semis with only 1 fight. Not a fail ... huh? What are the memorable fights Ward vs Kessler ? Yes Ward schooled Kessler but why so damn dirty with all the headbutts ? That take's some of the shine away. What Froch vs Kessler... Kessler was not that crisp with his punches and beat Froch mostly with his heart. Not 1 single fight that ppl will remember. At least at the level of Calzaghe vs Kessler or Pavlik vs Hopkins or Martinez vs Pavlik. And i get to regret even more this bogus 3rd group stage because the semifinals that should have been right around the corner. Dirrell vs Ward and Froch vs Abraham may lose some shine because not all the fighters need a win to move forward. The tournament still have a chance with these fights i hate that they make me see them in a group stage and not in a knockout stage and that they keep me waiting even longer to see the winner of the super six vs Bute and they keep me from seeing Bute vs the Drop outs(Dirrell/Ward/Froch/Abraham - if they just jumped over this stupid 3rd group stage)
