~~~The Lightning Lucian Bute Battleship~~~

What's up with the hair thing ? Some of you have problems with these guys "looks" ? :huh

 

:rofl

 

Well, you should also consider hair length. One cannot make a proper comparison of the two hair densities if the hair cut is not equal. While Froch has at least 3 cm of hair, Bute has really only some mm of hair on his head, it's pretty obvious his head skin will be more visible (moreover, Froch has darker hair color which enhances the overall impression).
Anyway, in the ring they will fight with their punches, there will be no hair density contest.

They're not equal, Bute looks about 1 inch taller than Froch (their "official" heights are 187 & 185 cm respectively).

 

Lucian Bute et Carl Froch ont participé, à Nottingham en Angleterre, à une première conférence de presse commune en vue de leur affrontement du 26 mai et ce dernier a encore prouvé qu’il n’a pas la langue dans sa poche.

Froch (28-2, 20 K.-O.), qui tentera de ravir le titre des super moyens de la IBF à Bute (30-0, 24 K.-O.), a d’abord lancé des fleurs à son adversaire avant d’enchaîner avec son franc-parler.

«Je dois donner du mérite à Lucian Bute. Je l’ai critiqué dans le passé parce qu’il n’affrontait pas l’élite des boxeurs. Il n’a pas participé au Super Six, mais il a battu les boxeurs qu’on lui a présentés», a raconté Froch.

«Il ne s’est pas souvent battu loin de ses partisans donc je crois qu’il est soit très confiant ou très stupide de mettre en jeu sa ceinture dans ma cour», a ajouté le Britannique de 34 ans en précisant qu’il a beaucoup de respect pour Bute.


De son côté, le boxeur d’InterBox a été fidèle à sa réputation.

«Je considère que c’est le bon moment pour moi de défendre mon titre loin de mon pays et, dans mon cœur, je crois que je serai victorieux. J’ai été critiqué pour ne pas me battre loin de mes partisans et je me souviens que Joe Calzaghe a obtenu beaucoup de mérite en le faisant en fin de carrière. J’espère en faire autant. Tous les ingrédients sont réunis pour un excellent combat», a déclaré Bute.

First article I see on the press conference...doesn't say much though. Froch says that he has critized Bute in the past for fighting b level comptetion but that he has beaten every fighter that they put in front of him. Froch also says that either Bute is very confident or very stupid to come fight in his backyard. Says that he respects Bute alot.

Bute says that it's a good moment in his career to be fighting away from home. He's been critized in the past and says Calzaghe got some credit for doing so at the end of his career.

 

Ay, there's the rub... see below.

Actually, there are several articles available online. Concerning the quoted part, I have some marginal doubt: most sites (say skysports, *****, boxingnews24 and other) report it as follows: He's not often fought out of his hometown so to put his title on the line in my backyard he's either very confident or very stupid – I think he's very confident and he's the champion, so why not be confident. That is nice and fair, but on another site I found a slightly different version of the transcript: But he's coming to my hometown to defend his world title and that either means he's very confident or very, very stupid. In truth, it's a bit of both. He probably thinks he's seen a few weaknesses and that he can exploit them. Again, he's very much mistaken.That sounds rather nasty and I would be curious to know if someone actually heard what Froch really said: is it the first version, the second, both of them, something else? :huh

 

Hair style can be a strong event winning factor :bart I'm sorry but it's important to determine who wins in that field. :hat

Oh yeah it's more clear with this one ! Bute is often referred as a tall SMW so it seemed strange to me. :good

 

On the scene it's the first version. I always trust the scene and it sounds more like sth Carl would say. :hat

 

Froch looks sexy
