Froch seems to let the early part of a fight slip away too easily for my liking and I can see Bute starting fast. It is something Froch needs to move away from. If you still have gas in the tank and are coming on, then you should be doing more early. He was coming on against Ward, but allowed Ward to dictate too much early on. If he does the same against Bute he will find himself behind, but if he can buck that trend he has every chance.
Froch should throw more punches than he does. He isn't a cute fighter and so shouldn't pretend to be one. Just get in there and rough your man up.
I no you are a Froch fan, but you never admit your man is slow of foot and lacks hand speed he trades to much on being tough. His down fall is he try s to make slick boxers brawl and Bute is slick I'm afraid he's going to be out boxed again.Quote:

I think Froch stops Bute
Froch should win
To be Honest I don't even think a flush full power ouch from Tyson could wobble froch, even to the throat or chest or kidney. I will be at the fight 6 rows from the ring.
Love the enthusiasm, mate, but Froch was cleanly put down by Jermain Taylor, and Dirrell wobbled him at one point in their fight too.Quote:

Yeah but we got to travel from Brighton south coast to Nottingham. Out tickets were £120 but they are now £270 online. I do think that froch when switched on is a very good fighter even for the slickest of athletes but on a bad day he is clumsy.
I can't wait for the fight and we are awaiting out team froch t shirts. I like bute but iv been a long time froch fan from the start, I just think his chin will win the fight
Both fighters have a chance but I'm picking Bute to out box Froch.
Stay strong. Support your boxer. It's a shame for us American fans that American television didn't pick it up. It's one of the fights coming up soon that I'm most looking forward to, given that Gamboa v. Rios is off the table, Ortiz v. Berto is in limbo, and Donaire isn't sticking to the plan of Nishioka in the summer.Quote:

It all depends on if Marlon B. Wright will be refereeing ;D
Bute is a tremendous boxer, and is on quite a winning streak. However, he is yet to face anyone quite as good as Froch.
Its hard to pick a winner in this one, I see Bute outboxing Froch, but possibly being stopped late in the fight. Similiar to the Jermain Taylor fight.
I really think Froch can win, he's fought the best and usually wins! Bute has not! but Froch can be outboxed here bite is very skilled.
I'm a big Froch fan, he might be my favorite fighter, but Bute is just all wrong for him.
If Froch tries to box like he has in recent fights, he's going to get wrecked - Bute is faster, more accurate, and better defensively. If he tries to swarm Bute, he's going to eat a ton of leather and Bute can crack.
If Froch's chin holds up and if he can tire Bute out, I think he has a chance, but I don't think that is all that likely. Froch will win some rounds, but I don't think he'll win the fight.
Bute fights a very tiring style of fight, but he is very sharp and accurate. A natrual counter puncher with great sense of anticipation and a fantastic uppercut to the gut. Froch is a tough as nail guy who can keep you at the end of his jab and unload volume of punches.
I would have to give the mental edge to Froch and even though I am leaning towards Bute to win the fight I don't think he'll do what Ward did. I don't think he can systematically break him down.
Bute will be too fast and skilful for Froch. I wouldn't be surprised if Bute became the first guy to stop Froch.
