    For the same reason you weren't at my place yesterday.


    Good enough reason?

    Bute is choosing a big money fight against the easiest opponent. He has to leave Canada eventually and those home town referees.

    Yeah, because those home town referees have been a major issue in all of his recent fights. :patsch

    Marlon B Wright never reffed a Bute fight in Montreal/Quebec City again after Andrade I. You late boy.

    It was indeed decided by pursebid! One of the few times Team Palle lost a pursebid, rumor had it that more often than not, Team Palle knew the bids before they where announced.

    Yes Bute was until now a super-avoided champion .

    Acused by Ward because his opponents resume , Bute has become frustrated and accepted this inferior position .

    I'm afraid Bute will loose his belt , like Dirrel did in Nothingam against the evidence .
    Bute is forced to win by Ko - no other option . A rematch clause may be the clue .

    It isn't:
    printf("%d\n",strlen("Bute")); outputs 4
    while
    printf("%d\n",strlen("Froch")); outputs 5
    so "Froch" > "Bute" :hey

    If you consider also given names, the situation changes.

    Dirrell did not lose a belt in Nottingham. He wasn't a belt holder.

    Assuming the judges in the UK score with a "the challenger must take it to the champ, do more" mindset, if the fight is in the realm of 8-4 or 9-3 Bute, I can see Bute winning a decision.

    Otherwise we'll see a plethora of accusation threads about the UK being the new Germany.

    Losing 8-4 or 9-3 like he did to Ward (arguably 10-2, actually) but getting a shady decision, I don't want to see Carl saying he totally won the fight like he did after the Dirrell fight. That would be too much, considering he would actually be handed a belt over a **** decision. I'd indiscriminately tell all of Froch's fans they're a bunch of cawksucking ***gits.

    :D
