I think that's overcooking things a tad AE. I doubt very much Carl is tied to Interbox in a Rick Parker-style and I doubt he's at the mercy of Bute's every whim in the way you suggest.
Your right, but that's also why your'e wrong. Froch is a road warrior no doubt. Bute WAS not. Bute was way outta his comfort zone in the first fight. He had deer in the headlights looks during the ****ing instructions for crying out loud. Froch looked like Tyson. Froch admittedly felt the power of Bute during the opening rounds. However, Bute froze something fierce, something we've never seen him do when tagged. He at least moves or ties up. He was so stiff, he was bending backwards in the clinches. There was a moment in the 2nd or 3rd, when after a foul, that Bute extended his hand and smiled at Froch as if they were buddies. Clearly a sign of an awestruck fighter. Froch menacingly extended his glove and went back to work. If Bute is smoked outta there again I'd be ****ing surprised. Without the butterflies and wanting to be Carl's BFF, the skillset disparity should eb exhibited this time around. I'll go back with my same prediction....Bute T/KO 8-11. And as to why it would be December.............Bute's gonna need a tuneup and as a courtesy to Froch, Bute is probably gonna either allow him to take Kessler before mid September or pay him a lions share of the purse.:think
Carl is not tied with Interbox, fellow, is very tied.When you`re undefeated champion and go on your opponent turf accepting even lesser money than home, guess what condition "sine qua non" you put in contract. Yes, Froch covered by facts his big mouth previously to the fight. But would have him had this glory without the willing of the ex-champion to travel? Froch had been affirmed repeatedely IBF champion is hidding, BUT HE REFUSED TO GO AGAIN OUTSIDE.
And you wonder why I didn't give you a mention in the "Honourable Bute Fans" list?:think I allow for the fact that English may not be your primary dialect,so I've read the post slowly and tried to look at it reasonably... But I've no idea what point you're trying to make:blood
did i say he did look back at his carrer :nut. denial is a wonderful thing, just look how the ref held him up stright to give him the count
Utter dog**** post. Id agree if it was a decision but fighting in another city doesnt make you physically weak and **** poor. Froch will finish it earlier this time. KO in 8-11 what a ****ing bellend atsch
I find it fascinating that you used to do quite well in the vBookie,yet you can make predictions like this.:huh Bute has no advantages whatsoever now.The hostile crowd means nothing to Froch.Nothing:nonoSo you can take that out of the mix. If you use the fact that Froch responded well to his own home crowd,well what do you think he would take if he had a choice of; a)A home crowd roaring him on against a highly rated belt-holder OR b)Going to fight away with a partisan crowd against a guy who you already know is prone to Arseicus-Collapsicus and you know you have his number? Hmmmm..:think
Remember when people were saying Andrade would KO Bute in the rematch. You know considering Bute never hurt Andrade in the first fight and his chin had been exposed... Now I think Froch will be an understandable favorite but for a sport like boxing, some people are getting a bit too confident in their assumption Bute will be stopped again. The truth is if Bute came back and KOed Froch it wouldn't even be a top 5 rematch turn around.
Bute was ahead and Andrade caught up with him late when he was gassed. There is no substance in comparing these fights.None whatsoever. Froch is no Andrade.:nono
As a hardcore Bute fan... I personally think that it would be pretty crazy if Bute came back to KO Froch in a rematch. Not sure about you, but with a devastating loss like that, and to come back and win in convincing fashion would be pretty remarkable.
It would be remarkable but there have been crazier turn arounds where fighters came back from severe beatdowns, multiple knockdowns, and stoppage losses to win in dominant fashion in the rematch. Louis/Schmeling for instance...Charles/Marshell..etc.
I don't think you missed my point so much as you just don't want to see or awknowledge it. So nothing more to add here.
Speaking of Bute and Montreal-has anyone seen or heard from Drozzy since this fight?Did he get kidnapped while over in the UK or just slit his wrists?
