Froch with a stoppage late in the fight.
I've had to go with my head and say Bute. But Bute has not been in the big fights that Froch has, even the Biggest Bute fan must admit that. Froch also has very good footwork, Ward smothered Froch every chance he got and used his speed to stop Froch bringing that into play.
It's going to be close, I think if Froch takes Bute into unknown territory and Bute shows heart, then all the better for him. What I don't want to see is that Froch is on the decline and the fight becomes a walk over.
Bute must put the hurt on to Froch's body early on becaue Bute does tend to tire out as his fighting style is very draining. In all Honestly I think the fight will be decided in the first four rounds. Not due to a KO but because by then you'll see who came in the ring with a better plan.
That said and done I think Bute will do exactly that and slow froch to a crawl where he's reduced to pop shotting and counter punching.
Froch will fight as he normally doe's, and gets out boxed again he could get lucky and ko Bute but its
a big ask, Froch will always have trouble with slick boxers and Bute will be far to slick for him.;)
People talk about Bute's power , but i think he hits alot harder than Jermain Taylor , so he could hurt Froch , it will likely be on points but Bute could stop the wide open Froch for my money.
I do admire Froch , he really is a throw back to an era when fighting the best out there mattered more than keeping an unbeaten rocord.
Froch by stoppage late on probolly behaind on points.
Problem with that call is that once Bute gets comfortable, he coasts. Just see his fight with Glen Johnson. It's a very tough fight for me to call. I don't believe it's a coincidence that I'm excited about it. Bute has speed and speed has been Froch's downfall before. Froch is a cagey veteran though. I'm just up in the air. I voted Bute by KO, but it's not too hard to imagine an upset for Froch to resurrect his career. I'd be surprised, and impressed, if Bute completely walked through Froch. I actually don't even think that is possible, a dominant decision for Bute, perhaps, but not like a 5 round knockout, not over someone as wiley as Froch.Quote:
