    It's an interesting fight based on contrasting styles, and I could see Froch scoring a late KO, but I'd favor Bute to win by a wide points decision.

    Bute, Froch is too clumsy to out-box him

    Froch has fought at a higher level.

    Bute may not hurt Froch, but he would most certainly box circles around him.

    Other than Taylor, who? Andrade and Bika are both better than Pascal, and Bute has fought about 6 guys better than Froch's third best opponent. Until Froch fought Taylor, he was pretty damn unproven.

    How can you say a nearly man like Bika is better than world champ Pascal? Pascal would outbox Andrade who is basically famous for getting completely dominated by Kessler.

    Bute beat a washed up Joppy which is equivalent to Froch beating a shot Robin Reid. So I stand by what I said Froch has fought better fighters.

    Agree. How much different would this be from Bute/Andrade?

    I'm inclined to favour Bute to win by decision.

    Just a matter of skill, Bute is the much better fighter and that is obvious. Carl gets by with his hard head. I do not see Bute going for a knockout knowing this, and he could just toy with him for 12 rounds.
