Are we about to find out how good Bute is?

Bute will deff outbox Froch imo.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Bute gets a late tko.

I respect Froch, but always thought he was a bit over rated. And this fight will obviously show if Bute is over rated and prove the opposite of what I think.

 

We also might find out how "overrated" Froch really is.

 

bute lost to andrade.......just sayin

 

Froch lost to Dirrell...just saying. :smoke

 

Well played, and true.

 

Yes, we will find out.

First ever top opponent for Bute and abroad. We will learn a lot.

 

The IBF will appoint the judges and ref for this fight. I don't see anything more than petty theft possible in this one. I expect Bute to clearly win this one and possibly do better than Ward did against Froch.

 

We will see for sure in this fight if age/hard run of fight is now catching up with Froch.

Could be Bute is catching Froch at the right time.

 

This is Bute's toughest challenge and he made things more difficult by accepting to take his title to England. Froch should be a comfortable favorite based on the fight being in England all alone.

To Bute's credit he didn't give anyone any excuse to downgrade this fight in any way despite Froch coming off a loss. He has given Froch the psychological advantage leading up to this fight for free with HIS title on the line. Can't help but admire Bute's courage for doing this.

Looking forward to this fight, whatever happens I just hope Bute doesn't get screwed as I think he will in England.

 

Yes in that he will be facing the best opponent since Johnson, but I also think Bute proved to be a worthy young champion by beating Bika and showed he is one of the best and marketable SMW with his impressive ko streak against good opponents with the exception of Brinkley.

 

one judge is american, one from quebec and one from the uk, and an american ref. is what i heaard. hope its true

 

They shouldn't use the Canadian and UK judges as far as I'm concerned. Even if they are honest if they rule for their homie in a close fight it just leaves controversy.

 

i guess we wil have to wait and see

 

Bute's gonna need to clearly win 9 rounds or more or KO froch to win....I fully expect him to so I don't think we'll have to worry about robberies but if there's even a remote case for Froch in 4 rounds or more he got it. It's like a handicap match... Froch already has 3 rounds in the bag to start

 

:deal That Quebec judge is surely in the bag for Bute, as could be the UK judge for Froch.
