Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread
:action: Great scrap for us fans Saturday from the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, UK, beginning @ 5:00 PM ET on Epix here in the States and on Sky Sports in the UK @ 9:00 PM. I'm not sure what time the undercards will start or how much will get shown. :britain:
May 26
At Nottingham, England (Epix and EpixHD.com): Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch, 12 rounds, for Bute's IBF super middleweight title; Carl Frampton vs. Raul Hirales, 12 rounds, junior featherweights; Erick Ochieng vs. AA Lowe, 12 rounds, junior middleweights; Pier-Olivier Cote vs. Mark Lloyd, 8 rounds, junior welterweights.
I believe Bute will be too much for Froch, although Carl will make a fight of it. Bute by UD with Scores of something like 8-4 or 7-5 in rounds. I also think it's possible that Bute stops Froch in one of the later rounds.

Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch on Epix Saturday
Go Bute!!! I do think Bute is a far superior fighter in all aspects except for DURABILITY. It's still a dangerous fight IMO.

Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch on Epix Saturday
Should be a good fight, definately worthy of Showtime or HBO, but I'll take Epix I guess ;D
Like both guys, guess I'll go with Froch since he is the underdog.
Bute is probably a lil too quick and slick for him, but Froch packs a punch and he is one tough, determined hook nosed bastard.

What is Epix, do you have to pay for the channel, surprised HBO/Showtime did not pick this fight up.

It's not offered by every cable company. However, in the past, I've been able to view boxing fights on its online website it for free. Fat Dan Rafael and Sugar Ray Leonard are doing the announcing for this week's fight.
With regard to the reason Showtime or HBO did not pick it up, it is because Bute and Froch are not American, at least that's my guess. It's the biggest available fight at super middleweight other than Ward v. Bute. With Bute, he has one more fight in his contract with Showtime and they prefer it be against Ward. The problem is that Ward has made tentative plans to square off with Chad Dawson in his next fight. If Bute prevails, I wonder if Showtime would purchase Bute v. Kessler.

Yeah it's a pay channel. I get it through Dish Network. It's basically a movie channel that occasionally shows Boxing & Bellator (MMA).

That is a bitch to have to pay for another channel to watch boxing.

Epix is something you get online (Epix.com), but I believe there's a way you can put it on your big screen TV in HD. In any event, if I can't get it for free somehow on Epix i'll find another stream to watch it on, there's no way I pay I pay a dime to watch this.

Well, this totally sucks. I got cable... and the fight is nowhere to be found. It sounds like it's gonna be a good fight, and with the scarcity of good fights nowadays, I hate to miss any of them.

Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch on Epix Saturday
Gentlemen, I'll try to be on for the RBR during the fight, but may have to hook up the computer to the tv, which will make it difficult. Either way, may the best man win and let's get ready to rumble.

It's not that it's not a really good fight Rant-cat, it should be a slugfest, i'm just not going to pay money to watch it.

Just to add, Magee and Tastevosyan (common opponents of Froch and Bute) pick Bute.

Haha great banter mate I agree 100%

Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread
Froch might be my favourite fighter, but I just think Bute's style is all wrong for him.

Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread
Nice to see the Canadians coming back namesless and CFH.
-
Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread
Hopefully I can find a stream to watch this one as I do most weekends, mainly because my house is on the wrong side of the hill for satellite TV. Only in Wales...
Anyhow, I do like Carl Froch and I think he will win, particularly with the home support. I have this hunch that Bute is going to come unstuck, and Froch will really do a number on him. I'm almost as interested in the Frampton fight too, Mexicans tend to provide stern tests, even if they aren't the very top level fighters.

Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread
Another slow clueless start by Froch is gonna give Bute the opportunity he needs to hurt Froch early and keep him out of the fight for the first 10 rounds :rolleyes:
Come on Froch, nice eager start for the boys yeah? :cool:

This is exactly what im thinking, start as you mean to go on, make it uncomfortable for Bute!

So sky is a premium pay channel yet still shows commercials, wtf???

Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread
:action: I'm getting Pier-Olivier Cote vs. Mark Lloyd, (junior welterweights) right now, 3rd round just starting. I don't know how many undercard fights will be shown before the main event.

Cote looking good. Slick. But not that slick, lets end this fight. I think Lloyd should try leading with a left hook.

Fight stopped by ref, in the 5th, nice win by Cote, Lloyd never really in it.

As annoying as hbo and showtime commentators can be at times british commentary is unbearable ugh...

Not impressed Lloyd? Lloyd is nowhere on any radar?

also just for this commentary I hope bute knocks froch out within 6....so effin biased

Bute is ordinary fighter they get excited about less than awesome fighters and will get found out, huck ofalabi fight constantly sayin how shit huck was yet he he almost decapitated ofalabi a couple times, I have no dog in the fight not english, american , romanian or canadian but I find brit commentary to be some of the most biased
-
Re: Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread
Carl Frampton (Barry McGuigan's boy) vs. Raul Hirales seems to be up next, 12 rounds, junior featherweights.
-
Huck fight was on another channel with a different commentary team. So far tonight there has been one fight, where an overhyped Canadian fought a genuine nobody. They called what they saw. The bias seems to be with you.

it may have been a different channel with a different commentary, I meant in general I feel like they're the most biased. I wasn't even talkin in regards to the cote fight who did look less than stellar, but why the hell take a dig at bute??? I may be completely wrong since its just an opinion and every country's commentary has a tendency to be biased towards their guy, I just feel like its more evident with brit commentary....
