    Carl froch needs to Jab alot! As he comes forward and on the backfoot!
    Froch has a very good jab! Even if he is behind on points the jab will keep him in the fight and maybe he has enough left in the later rounds to step it up and suprise bute! U never know

    The one thing that Froch has going for him is that the way he places his right hand makes it difficult for Bute to land his left uppercut.

    The thing is though that I don't know if Froch's slow jab will be able to win him the fight. I see Froch winning some rounds with his jab, then Bute adapts, Froch goes to war and gets caught with the Bute counter left uppercut.

    Froch has the reach advantage. I presume he'll try to use it.

    Froch has been in with elite opposition, Bute has not.


    That may be a huge factor for Froch.

    We'll know only when they fight. Phew, they will do fight. Finally an answer about Bute against a top 4 SMW. I'm almost not joking, it is really a relief for his fans to see that finally happening.

    Froch definitely needs to utilize his jab and try to set up his long right hand behind it. Bute is a good counter puncher and if Froch starts trying to wing combos from a distance, he will get hit with some serious return fire.

    Froch has huge stones and a solid chin, so I expect him to start out moving forward. Often being the man moving forward combined with a decent work rate will carry a close round on judges scorecards. In a fight this close, one or two rounds could be the difference.

    Froch is going to ko Bute in the second half of the fight. Froch simply has the better chin

    I'm a Bute fan, but I have to admit that a lot of people seems to underestimate Froch.

    Froch has fought with the elite and has never been KO. There's no way that Bute will KO Froch. UD or SD.
