I think Bute's getting shook up tomorrow. TKO5.

Smart money says Bute/Froch goes the limit...But I think Bute has a chance to stop him around 9.

(copy/pastefrom betfair 6am)

the over 10's for either winning late might give you value

froch price is also value, perhaps not enough though

1.66 backing go distance seems very low price given bute's previous opponents and chin/stamina, but consensus does seem to match this

i wouldn't do this but laying bute in 1-3 is as safe a bet as i see here

One of my favorite fights of all time, and I can't find a vid of it anywhere.

I have no dog in the race. I hope both men put on a good fight and the better one takes it. Then again, if Bute starts pulling any of these moves first:





...it's over for The Cobra early.

I also thought Mercer was going to stop Holmes.

You've got it right exactly. Scary good upset prediction.

[kingfisher3]

hope you made a bet, that was quite a call

[Lester1583]

Not exactly what Bute expected!

Cobra shoots to thrill, plays to kill!

[frankenfrank]

Froch (already) makes my top 150 of all time .

edit : actually my top 100

And if Bute didn't think he'd be able to crack his chin I don't think he'd take his title to the UK. I think he thinks he's going to stop Froch and I'm there with him. If it goes the distance Froch only wins this one by a robbery, imo.

Poisoning.

Thank you, noble sires. My greatest strengths are foresight and honesty, if that wasn't already apparent. Mostly the honesty.
