Froch and Bute agree in principle to a Unification Fight

[ICB]

I said from way back Lucian Bute is the darkhorse of the division, he's very skilled fighter whom i've been impressed with. He did make a mistake by trading with Librado Andrade in the last round, but forgetting that mistake which he will learn from he gave Librado Andrade a boxing lesson.

He also beat Sakio Bika more clearly than anyone else including Joe Calzaghe, he's also beat Kabary Salem a man who knocked down Joe Calzaghe very heavily. Also impressive wins over Alejandro Berrio, Fulgencio Zuniga, and Lolenga Mock a fighter who almost stopped David Haye and put him down aswell.

I think Carl Froch will struggle in this fight he isn't a physical as Librado Andrade, Sakio Bika. And he looks for one shot a bit too much IMO. And i think Lucian Bute will evade most of Carl Froch's punches and give him fits on the outside.

And although i think there maybe a chance of Carl Froch stopping Lucian Bute late, because although his power is a bit overrated. He is still one of the hardest hitting Super Middleweights. And i'd compare his power to Kelly Pavlik.

But lets remember Lucian Bute isn't no slouch in the power department either, he's got some very good stoppage wins under his belt. I'd say Lucian Bute by UD but there is a chance of Carl Froch stopping him late on.

By the way one last question does the winner fight Librado Andrade ? because didn't Librado Andrade win the title eliminator match ?

Good post. Bute is difficult to fight because he is a tall, quick southpaw. He also has experience with quality opposition. He matches up well with most of the fighters at 168. Bute over Froch by UD is a good call.

However, Froch has the edge in the intangibles department. He trains hard and has tons of heart. He went down for the first time in his career (maybe amateur too?) in the second round of his fight with Taylor and fought hard for the rest of the fight. That's reflects grit and determination. One thing is certain, he won't lose easily. Whereas, Bute lost his cool in the last round against Andrade and barely made it to the finish line in a fight in which he had won almost every other round.
