Who have you all got this time? I think Froch stops him again but later on this time, Bute will adjust and have the home advantage but Froch has Bute' number and he will do a number on him again.

im not sure its that froch has butes number i just think bute is a bit overrated
he is a cracking fighter and good to watch and a very good addition to the super middles, he also has a good dig, he just isnt at the top of the pile and, as un-understandable as it is, froch is
Link?!...

Everytime Bute kept landing a shot, I couldn't help but think that Froch would get wobbled, just kept feeling it, and Bute did land some very good counters indeed I thought. I'd say in a nutshell, Bute doesn't have the chin to hang with the top tier of the division, so sooner or later, Froch gets him again, unless Froch gets all superhero thinkin he can literally walk through Bute.

It's going to be a more competitive fight than the first one. Then again, there's no way it can't be because Froch demolished him the first time around. I'll be rooting for Bute going into it, like I did in round 1, but this time around, I'm more realistic, maybe Froch does have his number. Even you Brits needs to give credit to Bute for taking the rematch, as that type of loss has to be tough to take mentally.
What happens between now and then? Froch would fight a lion in a bathroom so I don't see him taking an easy fight to bide his time. I bet he'll face Kessler, unless a deal can't be made for Kessler to fight in Nottingham. If a deal with Kessler can't be made, and Pavlik comes out unscathed this weekend, maybe we'll see Pavlik v. Froch this fall. Pavlik would go there in a heart beat for the right amount of money and they have a history of bad blood. It's not a big risk for Froch, and Pavlik brings more than most to the table, because he has a name. I could also see Bute fighting Pavlik in Montreal or taking on an easy opponent just to get his head on straight.
That's a good evaluation of it really, that's how I see it really. I do respect Bute for taking on the rematch because it would take a lot of balls to fight a guy again who put on such a strong performance against him. I think it will be closer as Bute will have the home advantage and Bute will have to adjust if he wants to win.Quote:

Bute needs a rebuilding fight to get confidence you never know a beatdown like he received could be career ending, like jeff lacy was after JC. But I think Bute is better than that, he needs a big comeback peformance and he will have to be very mentally prepared for another fight with Froch. I think he is capable though.
I hope Froch fights Kessler, that's the fight Froch needs to cement his legacy. I wouldn't mind seeing Froch-Pavlik if that doesn't happen. That would be a war and Froch needs to show Pavlik that he is the champion and one of the best in the weight class.
Froch was out boxing bute every round. Butes power just didn't do anything to froch and down the stretch when froch gets better and stronger bute will crumble. The writing is on the wall unless bute takes an easy fight and froch fights Kessler which Interbox are hoping.
Instinctively I think Froch does a job on him again, this time maybe later. I don't think Bute is shit by any stretch, I think he'll put on a much better show at home.
Everyone is crucially forgetting that Froch will have another fight in between. It's not the fact he will have a fight, he is going to have a war against Kessler.
Froch has had lots of wars, will this one be the one to slow him?
Its a big pay day again for Bute, he will sell out that big Arena in Canada (pepsi centre ?) so win or lose he will make more money fighting Froch than anyone else.
Regarding the fight. Bute can't take Froch's power. It might take longer but i expect Froch to walk through Bute again. Intimidate him. I just hope that Eddie makes sure that the 3 judges and ref are neutral.
ps: Does anyoen know what the fighters were paid in the 1st fight, i'd heard that Bute got $1-1.5m but not heard anything on Froch's pay
Eventhough Froch took Bute to school I wonder if the home advantage wouldn´t make it more competetive. Still think that Bute has a great punch and that is all it takes.
But I still hope Kessler gives Froch a rematch this time in UK, and maybe the winner will fight Ward, here I would favor Ward he seem to have something going eventhough I don´t like his style.
hope to see some of y'all in montreal!
its a crazy party town full of beautiful women, terrific food, run by the mob and hell's angels.
(pavlik should probably stay away)
The super middleweight division has been hot these last few years and I think it will carry the torch of 'p4p' bests after the retirement of pacman and money may. With top talents like Ward, Froch, Dirrel (as much as I hate the prick he is talented) Its division with a great sense of rivalry in the brewing. A spiritual ode to Hagler Hearns and Leonard, though they fought at a lighter division.
Froch says he does not want easy fights so he will try to get Kessler to avenge his loss. I think Bute has very little option but to make the rematch if he wants to earn the big money he has been use to.
Bute gets pummelled into submission again, I cannot see what adjustments Bute can make that will significantly alter his chances. Bute was getting outboxed by Froch every round, hand speed was similar to Froch, footspeed = terrible, doesn't have enough power to trouble froch and is a very undurable guy.
Only difference in the rematch I can see is the number of rounds it takes Froch to destroy Lucien. Possibly Lucien can stretch the fight out to 8 or 9 rounds if he gets on his bike and runs all night.
By this time Froch may become old after his war with Kessler, so you never know.
