Froch is great but he is being overrated because of his Bute win. Bute laid an egg and quit mentally imo.
The only thing I see different about the fight being in Montreal is the location of the beating Bute will take. Bute was totally outmatched in the first fight and fell apart like a nickel mop.
Sup Dbou. My impression is that they won't take this fight. I think they were a smidge demoralized by the last fight. They'll probably say no under the guise of trying to get the fight over in the US. I think Pavlik needs more work. There have definitely been strides made, but not enough to make this fight worth it for them ATM. Still hope he takes it though.
I dont understand how people think that Pav will get knocked out. If hopkins didnt put middleweight Pavlik then how the hell os froch going to. This fight is going the distance. Pavlik 116 froch 112.
Look at his last few fights, he's going to get beat up. He is tough so I can see him going the distance.
i wish this fight happend a few years ago and could do a catchweight of 164 or somethin because Pavlik has looked like **** since he came back, i like this fight tho should be fan friendly wanna see if Froch can be the first to stop him, Pavlik should come in light so he gains a bit of speed he used to have
If Kelly was unwilling to go to Canada, he certainly won't go to England. As if he has any leverage in the matter.
Mmmm. The praise and expectations of Froch have gotten a tad over the top since his destruction of Bute. However, he is far more proven at the weight, and can brawl with Pavlik and can outbox him. Prospects aren't good for a Pavlik win ATM. Always wanted to see this fight though, so I'll take it however I can.
