    You are talking nonsense! Froch showed better movement, fighting off the backfoot, than just walking forward and lunging inm he slipped a lot of Kessler's shots. He threw from odd angles, and managed to land heavy shots! Believe me people are too quick to underestimate Froch, and although he doesn't have the best set of skills is a decent enough operator to give anyone trouble.

    What's new in what he did yesterday? Froch looked sloppy, as usual. Throwing bombs as usual, with a bad footwork, as usual. Lots of confidence and heart, as usual. If yesterday shows an improvement, that tells me how far he's coming from.

    What is clear now is that Kessler stands no chance against Bute. In fact, it would be easier for Bute to beat Kessler than Froch. I'm disappointed of Kessler. What happened to that guy?

    :good

    Bute beats Froch by a UD. In terms of sheer talent, Bute fairly outclasses Froch.

    I am still going with Bute. The longer this tournament goes on the more I think Bute is the top guy in the division.

    Bute by UD.
    I wouldn't be suprised if Bute KOed Froch.

    I go to Bute via UD. Andrade is not Froch (Froch has better skills) but Bute growth as been exponential. I would say that Bute has the conviction that he is unbeatable atm (confidence is a force multiplier). Of course he is no Calzaghe so some of the super 6 fighters could give him a rude wake-up call. I would like to see him fighting Froch but... meantime all I can do is read all the hate spewing that some of the posters display on this forum.

    I think it's perfectly logical to think Bute could stop Froch with a body shot.

    Froch could also hurt Bute and break him down.

    Should be a great fight. :D

    All Canadians will say Bute, although he beat nobody yet. Almost got himself KTFO in the first Andrade outing... Super 6 is where it's at right now -- best competing against the best.

    I think that Bute by KO is the safe bet in this fight. Few fighters are as open to the body for Bute's hooks and uppercuts as Froch.

    When I look at this match up I always think of the Froch/Taylor fight. For the first 6 rounds Jermain could not miss with the left hand. Bute is just as quick as JT was, and he hits a whole lot harder. If Froch took the kind of shots from Bute that he took from Jermain in the early going, there would be no 6th round. There might not even be a 5th round. I'm not hating on Froch. I'm just looking at things that appear to be stylistic facts.
