Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread

[Pavlik]

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.

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.

If I were to spend $ on a fight, this would be a good time. I hear ya tho.
