Bute isn't used to be under pressure like he will be against Froch, plus he has a pretty disgraceful chin.
Always worth betting on the home town/nation fighter when the odds are like that. I bet against Burns vs Martinez and Pascal vs Dawson on the same weekend, it was a bleak monday.
Because the skill difference is obvious. Froch only has a puncher's chance. Froch is awkward in the ring. He doesn't move fluidly, doesn't have good defense, it only has a jab. If he can't land his jab he's done. Ward was connecting with the left at will on Froch. What is Bute's best hand? The left. He dropped a lot of people with his dominant hand. PS: Did I mention Froch is slow?
