Froch looks the real deal here and bute looks like he knows it.
Even roy jones in his prime wouldn't stop froch.
Bute will destroy Froch.
I believe so too and I would be willing to make a friendly bet with whoever wants to cheer for Froch, I need to improve my bets on Saddo to 5-0 :DQuote:

I want proper evidence that Manfredo ironed out Froch. No way that wiki entry is kosher ;D
Hahaha - 100% bullshit!!Quote:

I vote Bute, I believe that he is better than Froch, but I also think it is going to be close.
When that is said I hope that Froch kicks his ass, still tirred of the fake win against Andrade ( first match)

This is from another site on why Bute is fighting in Nottingham :
“I was in line to fight the winner of the Super Six,” Bute (30-0, 24KO) points out. “For a different reason, Ward refuses to fight me and I kind of respect his decision. So, I made a choice. I said I’m going to fight Carl Froch.”
[...]
“We made (Froch) an offer to come to Montreal. He turned it down,” Bute insists. “And maybe he was right saying that he was away from home for a while. He wanted to fight at home. So, we just told his promoter to make us an offer. We’re going to go defend the belt in your place (England) and we’ll prove everybody wrong that I’m only fighting in Montreal. So, I have to go out to prove myself.”
Word is every time Carl and his wife argue she always shuts him up withQuote:

i will be covering this fight for the blog saturday night so remember and add your scores on saddo and i will add to the blog along with all the other scores i collect.
Regarding the fight , saddo just like most forums are pretty split on who they think will win the fight although in just about all of them Bute is the Favorite.
I think that Bute has all the questions to answer in this fight...he is away from home in a big fight for the 1st time and Froch is by far the best opponent he has faced.
Froch has beat and fought the much better opposition although many dont know how much he has left..too many hard fights.
Can i just say this...Arthur Abraham did what Bute has done....he stayed at home fighting decent although NOT elite fighters BUT when he eventually did fight the elite HE was found out...BIGTIME.
Froch to me has always been the favorite in this fight and i give Bute respect for taking this in Nottingham. Saying that though Froch is tested against the elite and Bute isnt thats why i think Froch will win on points around the 8-4 , 7-5 mark.
The big difference here is Bute is no one trick pony like Abraham mate.Quote:

ESPN reports that Lucian Bute will not use a recent foot infection as an excuse for his upcoming fight with Carl Froch. Bute's trainer, Stephan Larouche, indicates that Bute-Froch won't be a "toe story".
At that moment and somewhere in the UK, David Haye inexplicably gagged on his lunch.
:)
Also, Abraham hasnt been knocked out on his arse only for a ref to help him try and win.
That is a very good point about Abraham. He was seen as a terminator. I said hed struggle against the strength of the true suppermiddles in the build up to the dirrel fight. Bute is seen as a big puncher but he hasnt fought a cometetive fighter as Froch before, so maybe Bute is also a one trick pony.
I can't wait for this one. Bring it Froch! I want a war.
Not a bad prediction. I'm not sure if the Abraham comparison is apt. I don't agree with it, but I can see more a of a possible Jermain Taylor comparison in that Bute starts strong, fades late.Quote:

Really? That's impressive Bute's fans made it to the fight in Nottingham. Good for him. What kind of city is Nottingham?Quote:

Anyone know what time they're going to be in the ring? I've got an evening to plan. Sky says it starts at ten but the show goes on till one so I'm guessing eleven to eleven thirty?
Did they have a gay off about half way through the nose to nose? Both looked uncomfortable for me.Quote:

Depends how much the Ward fight took out of him, I mean Froch has been taking a LOT of tough fights lately, if he still has it all in the tank he should beat Bute, and by knockout, if there is maybe only 70% left of what he was, Bute may squeak by.
Sadly I agreeQuote:

If Bute fights well and wins a fair decision in front of a sold out crowd, that would be good for boxing.
It would also be good for boxing if a fighter who has avoided nobody and travelled abroad many times, is given the credit, should he win clearly on points, and not have to face accusations of a home town desicion, just because he hasn't knocked Bute out.Quote:

Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't Froch the same fighter who would of been stripped of his title if he didn't fight Jermaine Taylor? Isn't Froch the same fighter who bitched and complained that he had to face Mikkel Kessler in Denmark? Even using a volcano eruption as an excuse to try and get out of the fight? Isn't Froch the same fighter who threatened to pull out and even retire if he couldn't face Arthur Abraham in Nottingham? Isn't Froch the same fighter who had to be threatened with legal action in order to reach a compromise and face Abraham in Switzerland?Quote:

But i hope im wrong and we see a good even fight, Froch's best bet is try and rough Bute up. And keep the pressure on and maybe he can do another Andrade but actually finish the job this time, sadly don't see that happening though.
Supprised so many peoolpe think Bute will win.
I think Froch will stop him around 9 or 10.Perhaps while behind on points,
I am on board for that one.Quote:

:)
Id like to see Froch forget about loading up on those big shots. I used to mention them before he fought Pascal, he seems to think hes quicker than he is, he loads up and swings and rhe opponent is already out the way. He did it with Ward too. He needs to think like Calzaghe here and throw lots of sharp shots, stuff that will either actually land or at least keep Bute thinking. If he just waits for the single jabs or or uppercuts, he will give Zbute plenty of time to land first. He needs to pressure Bute and make him feel uncomfortable and make him work and tire. Froch is used toworking hard late wheras Bute isnt.
That is because he is not his promoter.Quote:
