Serious... I where a "wannabe" Bute fan when he won the IBF titel. But my Riot started back then. Why do you Bute fans keep up with this? If I didnt change my mind on Bute 2 years ago and was a fan today, i would go crazy............ The waiting and waiting..... Bute fans.. How strong is your patience!??!!? Maybe ill become a fan of the Bute fans soon just out of admiration....
I would agree with you some time back, but I don't think you will find anyone defending Bute right now. Also his biggest fans want to see him fight someone alive.
Now all the Super Six fighters a becoming available let's see what Bute does. Let's face it, he's beaten the best of the rest. Give Bute 12 more months. The guy deserves 12 more months.
Many fans are rioting on his promoter facebook page. I didn't buy any tickets for Bute's last 3 fights and I give them a last chance to make a decent fight. I won't wait 12 months. If Bute doesn't face someone strong NOW, Ward or Froch will have all the excuses not to face him. Well, it wouln't be excuses that much as they would be able to make more money in facing someone else. Bute has to make himself impossible to avoid.
Bute is a good fighter but his handlers need to stop protecting him by low balling everyone.... other than Andrade, who has he beaten?
Pavlik acting like a spoiled brat about money certainly did help think, nor did Kessler acting even greedier.
Bute fans are more interested in his hair style and how he gets his eye leashes trimmed more than they are interested in actually seeing him fight. Their dream is to one day see him on the cover of Vogue.
I went to everyone's of Bute's Montreal and Quebec fights. The only fight I was a little bit worried about was Andrade 2, for the rest it was very predictable fights. I love Lucian but if he does not fight a fighter that's at least the caliber of Johnson, I will not be attending his next fight and I strongly encourage other fans to do the same to send a message to his promoter.
