    Who is backing the person they actually think will win?

    Who isn't?

    Reasons?

    No doubt in my mind that Bute wins.

    Hoping Froch will but I think it is doubtful

    Froch has shown against Dirrell and Ward that he has a problem with 'boxers'. Now Bute isnt that stylistically similar to either but Froch has only looked great against brawlers like Abraham and Pascal, I think Bute has enough to dictate the fight with the jab.

    It isnt a foregone conclusion in my eyes though. Bute has shown his chin isnt granite and while no knockout artist Froch has shown he has decent power which can hurt the top guys. I think Froch needs to be able to tag and Bute to make it a close fight or win, whether he can is another matter.

    ****. Typo. Option #3 is obviously supposed to read "Head says Froch, heart Bute". :patsch

    Fan of Bute. Respect Froch a lot. Tried to figure out scenarios where Froch wins, couldnt find any besides a lucky punch (robbery does not count).

    Not really rooting for anything other than hoping its a great fight.

    That being said.

    My pick is : Froch by decision.

    Why does your heart want Bute to lose to Froch/ Froch to beat Bute, may I ask?

    I am a sucker for the underdog so i want Froch to win.
    A Froch W would look good on Wards resume and i am a Ward fan.

    I am a Buté fan since 2004 and I think that Buté will be only « Too» for Froch: Too big ( 180-184 pounds in the ring), too accurate, too fast.

    Froch's run of opponents, including taking on Bute straight after the S6 Final defeat to Ward is nothing short of remarkable in this day and age, the man is a credit to the sport and should be near the top of every fans' favourites list.

    My heart wants a Froch victory, but I think Bute is in his prime and will have too much for Carl.

    That resume of Froch's will have taken it's toll as he's been in some very tough fights whereas Bute is fresher.

    Bute UD for me but I hope I'm wrong.
