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

Nice to see the Canadians coming back namesless and CFH.

Hopefully I can find a stream to watch this one as I do most weekends, mainly because my house is on the wrong side of the hill for satellite TV. Only in Wales...

Anyhow, I do like Carl Froch and I think he will win, particularly with the home support. I have this hunch that Bute is going to come unstuck, and Froch will really do a number on him. I'm almost as interested in the Frampton fight too, Mexicans tend to provide stern tests, even if they aren't the very top level fighters.

Another slow clueless start by Froch is gonna give Bute the opportunity he needs to hurt Froch early and keep him out of the fight for the first 10 rounds

Come on Froch, nice eager start for the boys yeah?

This is exactly what im thinking, start as you mean to go on, make it uncomfortable for Bute!

I'd like to feel vindicated about my bitching about Bute being overrated but I totally didn't see Froch's career coming. I remember thinking, before he stepped up, that he was way too open defensively to be a top fighter.

Not to piss on Froch's parade but did the foot injury hamper Bute, he was easy to hit.

I don't think it did. Froch lived up to his nickname and struck at perfect times. If Bute thinks his foot injury was the reason he lost then he needs to exercise his rematch clause and try to right the wrong. Froch was to much man on this night of 5/26.
