~~~The Lightning Lucian Bute Battleship~~~

I don't speak Romanian.

 

It's french.

Here is a rough translation from google.

Among those who watched the fight Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor on television Saturday night, there was a particularly attentive audience: Lucian Bute.

Bute, the IBF champion in the super-capacity (168 pounds), is actively preparing for his next fight, he will defend his title for the first time on February 29 to face William Joppy, at the Bell Centre.

But Bute and the clan InterBox see bigger and bigger, and among the projects boxer of Romanian origin, there is a fight of importance that may be presented to the fall in the United States, against an opponent known.

An opponent like Kelly Pavlik or Jermain Taylor, for example

"There is an interest in Lucian side of the United States, assured yesterday Stéphan Larouche, Bute coach and director of operations for InterBox. It's already started, and I can tell you that the telephone rings regularly. We know that the network HBO is interested in Lucian. A battle against Taylor Pavlik or in the fall, it is not impossible. We would like to present it in Montreal, but it could also take place in the United States. The mandatory defence, it is always against the most formidable adversary. "

Bute, which is expected to make a second optional defense of his title at the Bell Centre, in May, before moving to mandatory defence, was impressed by Pavlik and Taylor Saturday evening.

"He regarded as potential adversaries," said Stephan Larouche. He appreciated the struggle and the style of the two boxers. A fight against Pavlik, it would be perfect for Lucian, because of his style. But Taylor is also very interesting, because it is a little better known than Pavlik. It is a flagship for the network HBO. "

Pavlik, a 25-year-old boxer originally from Ohio, has garnered a unanimous decision Saturday night in Las Vegas on his second combat facing Taylor (27-2-1). Pavlik sheet remains impressive: 33 wins against no losses, and 29 K.-O. To the counter.

Even if just defeated Taylor at 166 pounds, Pavlik is expected to regain the division of 160 pounds, and face the Irish original John Duddy in a major battle this summer, at Madison Square Garden in New York .

Then? The bets are open.

"Pavlik will perhaps return to the 160 books, but we should never forget that a boxer always goes where there is money to be made, and currently there is money to make in 168 pounds , "said Larouche, who is confident of the potential of Lucian Bute in the United States.

In addition, the sale of tickets for the card of February 29 is well underway. Yesterday, 10500 tickets had been sold for this evening of boxing, which will also feature Renan St-Juste and Victor Lupo. People of InterBox are confident to be able to surpass the total of 19 cards in October, while Bute Alejandrio Berrio was defeated for the title of super-IBF pleas before more than 13,000 supporters at the Bell Centre

 

Anyone knows which gloves Bute and Joppy will be wearing? For Berrio, bute had Reyes for the first time in 6 bouts. Will Bute protect his hands again or go for the knock-out?

 

Reyes are Bute favourite gloves. He wore them for his 15 first fights, which end up in 15 ko's. He changed gloves after a hand injury and came back with Reyes against Berrio. Apparently, his hand is 100% ok.

 

Bute's nutritionist talks about his diet.

Don't mind the first 30s. She's just joking around about the misconception people have of her job.
