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:

Sure are a lot of Romanians over here ;D
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:
