Actually he went 12 rounds with Bute a month ago. I've said on here a couple times that Bute is overrated and not a big puncher so I'm really interested to see if Froch can knock him out.

He's durable too, never been stopped in his career and he's gone the distance with Howard Eastman, Roman Karmazin and Bute.

Recent win over Markussen looks impressive, his only previous loss was a 12 round decision to Sven Ottke in Germany.

I like this fight, it gives us a chance to compare Froch's handling of this guy with Bute's performance.

As long as Froch doesn't follow it up with a fight over James Obede Toney I'm happy :P
