And when the bell sounds tomorrow, Bute will be 185, and Froch 175. I wonder what such a size, strength, and speed advantage will do for Bute when he fights the smaller, slower, and less powerful Froch.

The only troubling matter for Bute fans is that is supposed to have cut down from about 172 within a couple of hours of weighing in.

Maybe he didn't go about it in the healthiest way?

Don't understand the hate for Rumsfeld here.All he is saying is that Bute is stepping up in class.
Glenn Johnson,Andrade and Bika are the best fighters Bute has faced.
Froch is on a whole other level and this fight is in his backyard.
Very ballsy move by Lucian and now is his time to step up and prove he is an elite fighter.
Fight reminds me of Benn - McClellan.

[1-Ton]

300 - Froch
100 - draw

might be some home cookin' either way!

[Ilesey]

All on Bute.

Rumsfeld is right on this one. Lucian Bute has never stopped an A-level opponent. Bika and Johnson went the distance with him, and Bika actually was ahead after 6 rounds. All these guys thinking Bute is gonna stop Froch are hallucinating.

Froch will not be stopped by Bute, and as the fight progresses it will become a stamina contest, and Froch has great stamina (whereas Bute arguably suffered a stamina KO against Andrade).

Also, gamblers: Dirrell and Pascal (both faster than Bute) went to Nottingham and didn't get the decision. I think Froch by decision is the most likely outcome here.

the odds for Froch are just too good given the fact that the fight is 50 50,

You should admit that Bute's favorite and Froch would need some luck and to be in the shape of his life to take this one, also with a perfect game-plan, cuz I'm sure Bute has a pretty good one.

When you are black you are slick, when you are white you are elusive I like this one

Putting cash on Bute. Sounds so ***ual when saying it out loud. Still if you think you're balding now Bute wait until you see what I'll do to ya if I blow away a precious vcash! Stress really will get to ya then!

[macho_grande]

I've never used my Vcash until today.

Loaded up 750 on the Cobra and spread a little out on the draw & Bute.....

[dsr]

1K on Bute and a little something on draw just in case the refs turn stupid

[Burebista]

Dude!!! Someone made all the other graphic lines look small with his betting.

[Tyler-Durden]

Jordan took it to the next level.

I guess we'll see soon enough.

Agree on all counts, then when you consider that Bute is a fag Canadian, and see how big of a disgrace his hair is...it becomes a no brainer. Froch FTW!
