What I heard is if it's Froch, it's going to take place in the UK, and if It's Andrade, It will be in Montreal...
He seems ready to go right now. He was slim and he had a big smile on the hole time of the weight-in.
Bute could make the big bucks with Andrade fight if it goes to the purse bid. The champion gets 75% of the bid.
I think this is a good fight. I think people still underestimates carls other skills and look beyond how awkward it is to fight someone as unorthodox as he is. I think carl takes this one by mid to late ko.
Montreal French press states today that an official announcement will be made about the next Bute fight in the next few days. By the end of the month, we'll know for sure the date, location and next victim of "Le Tombeur". Froch vs Bute Froch is a great fighter, he is powerful, has good endurance, and a great finisher. Bute on the other hand, has all that and then some. Bute wins in speed, movement, boxing technique and know-how as well as ... very important ... being able to change his style and adapt to his adversary (eg. watch the Sakio Bika fight - 2 years ago). If we look at each boxer's opponents, we can not say that one had fought tougher opponents than the other. Neighter can we make analogies like Froch beat Taylor, Taylor beat B-Hop, so Froch will beat B-Hop ... bull ****! Each boxer's dimensions are different and different boxer exploits weaknesses to a certain extent, to different extents! In every sport, there are specialists, experts, ppl that spend all their lives learning, studying, practicing and coaching the sport. Ignoring their opinion to go with our own is kinda naive and proves lack of reasoning and excess partisanship. In boxing, experts say that speed and technique will almost always win over strong resistant bodies and hard punching animals, the examples are overwhelming (Calzghe vs B-Hop, Bute vs Andrade, Hatton vs Pac... etc.). Yes, accidents can happen, no doubt! Bute has the better boxing technique (movement, precision, defense, combination punching, adaptability and versatility) and has faster hands than Froch. On the other hand, for arguments sake, Froch looks solid and stronger than Bute, punching maybe harder, but a guy with a limited boxing dimensionality. For argument sake again, Froch is better than Bute in 2 or 3 aspects of boxing and that by a little. But Bute is superior to Froch in most aspects by quiet a bunch. If we have no surprises: paid officials, lack of concentration during the fight, some lucky punching, strong effects on the fighter because of and adverse crowd or god knows what ... Bute will win by UD 8 rounds to 4 (at least). Also, since the two fighters are KO artists, I would say we have a 20% chance to see a knock-out on either side!!! Note: The poll is crazy unbalanced but it is due to the difference of notoriety of the two boxers... Looks like more ppl. have seen Carl fight than Lucian things are about to change! USA and UK get ready to witness this Romanian fighting machine Bonne boxe a tous!
Firstly let's see if Kessler manages to get back in the ring. Don't underestimate Palle's ability to **** a talented dane's career(Larsen).
This fight best be announced soon- I'm getting pissed off waiting for a statement. Hennessey's a good deal broker though so I have no doubt that it's gonna be confirmed.
Yep, . Just like that. In fairness though mate he's taking on the big boys and IMO he's doing a brillant job. You can't say Sky's FFN, at least recently, is better than any of the Hennessey shows on ITV.
Yeah.I was being a dickhead. But that was a terrible decision altough the fight was filmed and I got it eventually.Duke McKenzie was gold.....''Straight down the pipe'':rofl
