The Lucian Bute excuse train already firing on all cylinders.

So ahead of his fight with Carl Froch, which is Bute's first fight in a hostile environment, the excuses are already flying left, right and center.

First we have the excuse for the british market:
Apparently Bute's leg is badly infected. This is reminiscent of the David Haye 'Toe-Excuse'.

The brits are well aware of the terrible effects a bad toe had to David Haye's perfomance against Wlad Klitschko. But in order to be on the safe side, the Bute-PR dept. wouldn't settle for just a toe so they took the whole leg.

The brits will understand that one.

Secondly we have a bad cold for the canadian homemarket:
So now Bute has travelled from sunny Florida to misty England and has caught a nasty snotty nose in the process. Interbox is afraid to treat it with anything but Earl-Grey tea.

This is clearly an excuse made for the homemarket. Remember Bute's first fight with Librado Andrade? Well Bute was knocked from pillar to post stumbling around like a baby giraffe going for it's first walk. Bute's homer ref. shamelessly gave Bute plenty of time and in the process played russian roulette with the boxers health by allowing Bute to go the distance.

Afterwards Bute said he was weakened by disease badly minimizing his stamina.

Now the canadians are prepared again. Bute has a nasty cold that has the same effect.


Thoughts?

Possible. It's hard to find a reason for him to disclose all these ailments before the fight. He could be very very scared.

 

From the Lucian Bute sinking Bismarck battleship thread.

 

If he wont be in the ring without being at 100%, then why leak all this info??

Puzzling.

 

Who said that??

 

So you feel it generates interest saying that Bute is ill?
