    I haven't had a good win since Ricky Burns beat Martinez but I may well have some of this!

    That's insane. Don't discount the hometown advantage.

    Bute isn't used to be under pressure like he will be against Froch, plus he has a pretty disgraceful chin.

    Wow indeed. Anybody smells a close Froch UD/SD a la Dirrell given the rematch clause in Quebec?

    Always worth betting on the home town/nation fighter when the odds are like that.

    I bet against Burns vs Martinez and Pascal vs Dawson on the same weekend, it was a bleak monday.

    Because the skill difference is obvious. Froch only has a puncher's chance. Froch is awkward in the ring. He doesn't move fluidly, doesn't have good defense, it only has a jab. If he can't land his jab he's done. Ward was connecting with the left at will on Froch. What is Bute's best hand? The left. He dropped a lot of people with his dominant hand.
    PS: Did I mention Froch is slow?
