Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread

What is Epix, do you have to pay for the channel, surprised HBO/Showtime did not pick this fight up.

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.

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

It's not that it's not a really good fight Rant-cat, it should be a slugfest, i'm just not going to pay money to watch it.

cheers

that's quite a little interesting article. Personally, I go with Bute KO, if Taylor did put Froch on the deck, so can Bute who'Smore powerful.

Froch might be my favourite fighter, but I just think Bute's style is all wrong for him.

Even on their PPV events they still show adverts. They are greedy whores.

Hats off to the Cobra. I'm a bit gutted by this one. Froch destroyed Bute, almost to the point that I felt something was amiss. It made me start thinking Froch didn't take his gloves off after the match for a reason. Seriously, I was delusional. He must really have a glass jaw. I didn't even think the blow from Froch that caused the initial problems was that big of a punch. Bute took bigger shots from Johnson and Bika for sure. I'm not sure Bute makes it back, as that appeared to be a tough loss to take. That was a performance for the ages for Carl Froch. It put him on top of British boxing.

Bute is ordinary fighter they get excited about less than awesome fighters and will get found out, huck ofalabi fight constantly sayin how shit huck was yet he he almost decapitated ofalabi a couple times, I have no dog in the fight not english, american , romanian or canadian but I find brit commentary to be some of the most biased
