    I think you will be wearing whatever Bute avatar I say you wear from when I get back from the UK, May 29th, to June 29th point after which I move on to Knockout Artist who gets to wear that same avatar from June 30th to July 30th.

    :hey

    Isn't Pascal fighting Cloud ?

    I'm also not sold on Dawson taking this at 168 ? Does he have much body fat on him ? This move could kill his body somewhat ..For his sake 172 is the limit for both but im sure Ward will prefer 168..





    Yup agree 100 %

    For promoters, yes. It is about building $$ucce$$ful careers for their fighters, that means also wisely avoiding some dangerous fights, that means also playing double games and using various undecent negotiation techniques.

    Of course, this is Ward's business. Yet one is fully entitled to infer something from Ward's choices.

    Well, check by yourself: there is no single bookmaker having Froch as favorite. Of course, they could be all wrong, but that's really highly improbable: if they'd systematically make bad predictions, they would go bankrupt.

    Neither did Froch, so stop thinking as if this (less probable) event already occurred.

    I don't know. It is a matter of probabilities/odds. As well as the possibility to have say Chad Dawson injured in less than a week.

    A wise promoter of a fighter should be very diplomatic: never say "no" in a harsh manner, just keep negotiating. As long as a firm deal is not signed, everything is still possible. Waiting a couple of weeks after several months of healing Ward's injurend hand is not so difficult after all.

    Yup. According to the bookmakers, Bute is more likely to win.

    Do you know what all the probabilities are about?! yes, it's a lot of maths and for non-specialists it could look also as a bunch of low tricks. No, it is not wrong, it is fundamentally right to describe the winning odds according to the bookmakers.

    A two-fight deal means the fighters agreed to fight twice independently of the first result. This is a matter of definition, not of opinion. Bute/Froch deal is not conceived like this: therefore objectively it ain't a two-fight deal. It still is what I've said.

    You seem to forget that a lot of people in a lot of thread already explain to you that the rematch clause is only happening via a Bute lost. In this case a fight between Bute and Ward would not make any sense.

    The question now is: why are you always forgeting those facts when you try to spread (what I now call) lies.
