    I have become quite infamous as the resident Bute-critic on here the past few years, but I will sit down and eat my crow, for I have promised to do so, and I stand by my words and promises.

    I've had fun trolling about Bute, I can't deny that.. and I think some of the Bute fans have had fun too, in some sense. I can't do anything but tip my hat off to Bute and eat my crow, for no longer shall I be criticizing Bute over his lack of decent opponents. (For the record, I think Bute will win a decision against Froch)

    Well done Mr M.
    I'm sure there are a few who wouldn't man up if the shoe was on the other foot.
    I've mainly got Flasher in mind.

    I guess there's always a chance that Bute could get cold feet, or develop some sort of mysterious illness like dengue fever or aquagenic urticaria. Don't be eating up all that crow at once, you know.

    Good job Mr. Magic ...very good job sir !!

    I will be sincere with you. I am a fan of Bute and i am worry since last week about his left hand. Bute said 2 days ago that he is still not hit the bag.....since is fight with Johnson on November 5th.

    If his left hand heal completely i can see Bute hurting Froch with a counter left uppercut

    Isn't it a much better place without the constant references to pornography and sexually threatening menace.
    Supposed to be a boxing forum.

    Thanks for that, MrMagic. I said I would not write on the forum if Bute's next opponent was not a good one: I feel better now it's official. The awaiting has been tough for Bute's fans. Let's hope it's the first step and not the last one.

    In Florida, Bute did only his general preparation so he had not to use his left hand. Do you know when he said it was still hurting? The fight is in more than 12 weeks so he still has time to recover.
