What can we expect? Froch vs bute 2

[Rantcatrat]

Froch can't beat Ward. That idea is just silly.

It's too early to tell how Bute vs. Froch II will go. I want to see if Bute is gun shy in his fight on November 3, 2012. Did the fight with Froch completely shake his confidence? That kind of loss has the potential to ruin a fighter's mental break-up. For all we know, Bute might lose badly against the Russian he is facing and the rematch with Froch might not happen. Unlike Khan, after suffering a disastrous defeat, Bute is facing a lights-out puncher. On the other hand, Bute might learn from his defeat and come back stronger. He could perform much better in front of his fans in Canada too. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. I expect him to demolish the Russian and then beat Froch in Canada, but I'll admit in all fairness that Froch should be heavily favored in the rematch.

Good and fair post. I feel pretty much the same way. Bute was out of the fight before the bell rang and I said it before and will say it again, I as a long time fan could tell by his ring walk. Btw I also like Carl and think he has the mental edge. It will be crazy at the Bell Centre but the effects on Froch wont be the same as they were in Nottingham. In short Carl is a seasoned traveler and a kind of modern day Denny Moyer. Anybody, anywhere, anytime. I think it will be a much different fight if Bute uses the ring and does not voluntarily meet Carl in the phone booth. I think Bute can get the points win and with it a rubber match.

Having said that, I have no idea why team Bute have decided to fight at 175 when he will return to 168 for Froch.

The 11/3 fight is at 175?

Bute's mindset might change, his tactics might change but unfortunately for him Froch's wont. He'll again walk through Bute like he isn't there and Bute doesn't appear to have the firepower or the skill to keep him off.

Might take longer but Bute will get battered again.
