    :huh

    Wtf is going on? Probably one of the most anticipated fights that could be made? Over at the scene. Unless it is Ward this is bull****, apparently they want an American instead of Froch.

    Proper shame.

    Sure, Froch won't ignite much interest amongst the American audience, but it's a good fight. Hopefully Hopkins won't reach an agreement, and Ward continues with his "Bute needs to face someone". Showtime may have no choice but to settle for Froch.

    Why would you not want to see it? Is it just that you don't want to see it under any circumstances or just that Bute-Ward should be made instead?

    I thought you were yearning for the sperm of the Cobra?

    They dont wonna see Lucy get his arse handed to him just yet.

    It'll be Dirrell no doubt. Hopkins still makes Bute look bad

    With the new regime at Showtime they may not be so keen on showcasing fighters that aren't from North America.

    Not sure what the point of Bute vs Hopkins is, mind.

    Or Dirrell, he needs to earn his shot after nearly two years off. Unless they are referring to Anthony Dirrell..... who probably isn't ready yet.

    I'm not sure where Froch goes from here, Kessler is tied up until the Autumn, all the Americans have something scheduled. He might get the easier fight that Buncey was craving.

    Summer fight with Cleverly is looking more likely by the day if you ask me.

    That's gotta be Enzo for Clev in the Summer. I get the feeling that Enzo is only boxing at LHW to get a fight with Clev.

    Possibly but I am pretty sure SHowtime would want to be involved with Clev/Froch, Which would be more money. Just depends where Froch goes now if there is no world title shot available at 168, I think this fight will be made.
