With his International Boxing Federation (IBF) Super Middleweight clash with Brian Magee just days away, Lucian Bute participated in a media teleconference call to discuss his upcoming fight on Saturday, March 19, and possible winners of Super Six tournament.
“I do follow the Super Six and I know the matchups. All four fighters are very good and I have a lot of respect for all four. I find it tough for (Arthur) Abraham to have a solution for (Andre) Ward. In the other fight, I want to congratulate Glen Johnson for making it to the semifinals. He’s a great boxer and a great person and congratulations for doing it at his age. But in my opinion the final will be Carl Froch vs. Andre Ward. I really can’t say who the winner will be but I think it will be an exciting fight,” boxingscene.com quoted Bute as saying.
Abraham vs. Ward match is due May 14 in Oakland, U.S.
