    You're probably right. Sauerland must have given him an ultimatum. You sign or you're out of it.

    Larsen should take the money on offer and run. He's been going nowhere fast for too long considering his ability.

    It would be an excellent fight, the inferior tattooed warrior against the Romanian.

    Anyway, I can't wait to be fixed. I prefer when Lucian fights more often, even if I understand he needed some break.

    He's just a stepping stone most likely.Will give a better fight than Joppy but still end up losing.

    Agreed,he should fight 3 times a year.Too bad he didn't take care of Larsen last may like he should have because of that leg injury.

    You should not underestimate the dificulty of coming back to the top level in boxing. Éric Lucas and Otis Grant tried to do it. Their comebacks ressemble to Larsen's. A few wins before getting a shot at a title or an eliminator. Then, the reality hits the former retreated boxer. The reflexes, timing, power, everything semed to be there but a bit of each has disappeared.

    Well a deal is a deal but I'm seriouslt thinking he could just have fought Berrio in Germany or Colombia.
    A Taylor fight is really mouthwatering:blurp,probably Kessler will get it first and put an end to Taylor for ever.

    The only thing that concerns me about Larsen's comeback is his timing. He really should have stopped a couple of guys and he failed to do it. He had a lot of fights without even a knockout before last time.

    He looks pretty good though, I think he's ready as he'll ever be.

    This fight could be more exiting that you would dream of, Bute seems to be soft when hit,
    5th round against Andrade, he was gone, it dosnt Take more than one hit to get him on ***** street.

    I didn't see much of his comeback(only 3 fights) but he seemed to improve from every fight and seemed a bit gunshy at the beggining.
    Still tough it makes him look bad asking for more money.

    I will be happy if it ends up to be a good fight. I won't go to Germany or Denmark to see it though, even if I'd love to go to Denmark one day. Maybe for Bute-Kessler?
