[fightscorecollector]

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.

Bute-Froch won't be 'toe story' - Dan Rafael Blog - ESPN



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.

On the sky show Johnny Nelson was saying that Bute has an infected foot which could hamper him during the fight with Froch. I think they are pretending otherwise they would not have disclosed that information, just seems too obvious.

I just hope we don't get a hometown decision here. Boxing needs more fights where undefeated guys are willing to take the risk and fight in an opponent's backyard.

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.

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?

The trainer said Bute was 100%, so I wouldn't expect the foot to be used as an excuse should Bute lose. Gotta love the dig at David Haye, however. "Toe-gate", "Toe Story".... it'll be awhile, if ever, before Haye lives that one down.

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.

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.

Bute fans just owned FRoch fans at the weigh-in (they were probably closest to the microphones.. but still).

Sure are a lot of Romanians over here

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

I doubt they'll actually be at the fight. Just think a lot of Romanians that live here turned out for the weigh-in (it was done open doors in the town centre)

They were out cheering the Froch fans.

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.
