Lucien Bute? A Champion?
He is no Champ!
He’s a Chump!
A real Champion would admit he lost by KO to the better opponent ANDRADE, and offer him the Championship belt AND the lion’s share of the pay in their rematch!
I will be hoping justice prevails perhaps by BUTE getting KNOCKED OUT earlier.
Ant King
