Bute vs the winner Bika-Sjekloca is the best possibility it will happen latest in mid May.Also Pavlik discussion hadn't progressed an inch acording to Bedard in an interview.Is Pavlik ducking again or he doesnt want to fight for peanuts? ) interview french:http://www.lapresse.ca/sports/sports-de-combat/201301/11/01-4610335-lucian-bute-pourrait-redevenir-champion-des-ce-printemps.php
Bika's style would be good to know if Bute's confidence is back or not. in fact, Bika's warrior's spirit (not his style, his spirit) may be the closest one to Froch. After what happened against Froch, I would be nervous before a Bika fight. Not an easy one but a good preparation one.
Bute's plan will be..... Win WBC belt, KO Andre Fraud, then move up to LHW and become undisputed LHW champion within 2 yrs. Retire as GOAT.:yep
If the HBO offer that I have read about was genuine, then he should grab it. It does not matter who he has him fight first, at the end of the day, they want him against either ward or froch by the end of the year.
Over at the scene guys. Saying Bute has given up on the rematch for good(I think) Smart decision.Nice bloke who I don't want to see hurt. But you can't blame me for renaming the Dinghy "The Bute BottleShip" I'd expect nothing less from you guys. Kinda sad.It won't be quite the same around here.Hasn't been since the first fight was announced.The unknown was better fun(Apart from the aftermath of course)
:deal He beat Bika 6 years ago , when he , supposedly , was not on the level he is today. Why choose this path when you have other alternatives , including the rematch with Froch? As a fan , i'm disappointed by his latest decisions.
Because Bika is a mad man and will tell us if Bute's confidence can be rebuilt. Bika has a chance to win this fight. If he rushes Bute like he's capable of and if Bute freezes, he will finish him. Bute froze for 3 rounds the first time he met Bika, the same way he froze against Froch. If Bute ia able to control Bika, I'll be confident that he still has a career at a high level. Bika gave a lot of trouble to Ward, don't rate hime too low.
Wise words, listen to this man. :hat Although I would have prefered Pavlik (who's too much of a coward to travel to Canada and too much of an ******* to fight for peanuts), I must admit Bika's a good test for Lucian. Hell he's even more relevant than Pavlik.
Just read the article and at the end it say's : (after he'll get the WBC belt) There will be a fight against Andre Ward or a unification against Carl Froch. So why the bull**** PityTheFool ?
Another confirmation.Bute vs Bika 25 May for WBC title then Ward or Froch if all goes according to plan.http://tvasports.ca/combats/boxe/de-gros-projets-pour-bute-17012013
A period of time of 7 months between two fights? That's way too much. I hope that doesn't turn against him . Remember the same happened before the Froch fight , and we all know the result of that.
Deceiving. I wish Pavlik wasn't a coward and actually took the fight and the asswhooping Lucian was about to give him. :hat
