By Scott Gilfoid: To show boxing fans how much self believe he has in his skills and incredible heart former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO’s) is basically putting his career on the line in his November 3rd match-up against unbeaten Denis Grachev (12-0, 9 KO’s) at the Bell Centre, in Montreal, Canada.

Bute: People think my career is over; it’s not
By Scott Gilfoid: Former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO’s) is foolishly being dismissed by a lot of boxing fans just because of his 5th round knockout loss to Carl Froch last May in Nottingham. It’s obviously a negative the Bute lost that fight to the much slower Froch, but it’s not the end of Bute’s fabulous career.
He’s going to come back from this loss starting with his fight against light heavyweight contender Denis Gratchev (12-0, 8 KO’s) next month on November 3rd at the Bell Centre, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Bute: My fight against Grachev will show that I’m back
By Scott Gilfoid: Former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO’s) is ready to show the boxing world that he’s back as a major player in the super middleweight division after he faces and beats undefeated Russian Denis Grachev (12-0-1, 8 KO’s) next month on December 3rd at the Bell Centre, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. But, 32, fought a sloppy fight in his last bout against Carl Froch, losing by a 5th round TKO last May in a fight where Bute made a number mistakes that ultimately cost him the fight.
Bute said to Bravosovultau.ro, “I can not wait to see my fans again. After my loss people probably all thought that Bute’s career was over. But you will see that Lucian Bute is able to overcome difficult times and return to where he was.”
Bute showing real courage in taking on Grachev
By Scott Gilfoid: Say what you want about former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO’s) being exposed in his last fight last May, he’s still showing a heck of a lot of courage by taking on unbeaten #14 IBF light heavyweight contender Denis Grachev (12-0-1, 8 KO’s) on November 3rd at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada.
It takes a lot of courage for a fighter like 32-year-old Bute, #5 IBF, #10 WBO, to face a guy with the kind of power and talent that Grachev has going for him given that Bute is coming off of a 5th round knockout loss to Carl Froch in his last fight.
