    Arrow Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread

    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.

    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.

    Go Bute!!! I do think Bute is a far superior fighter in all aspects except for DURABILITY. It's still a dangerous fight IMO.

    Should be a good fight, definately worthy of Showtime or HBO, but I'll take Epix I guess

    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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.

    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.

    cheers
