    Want Froch to win, but think he is on the decline and Bute will win.

    this. all i'm scared of is that froch may land a lucky punch/combo on bute. imo froch is not outboxing bute. so the only way he can win is by keeping it relatively close and getting a "gift" decision or lucky ko.

    I like Froch a lot, I'm a big fan (mostly because of his recent opposition) but I think this fight is going to be a tough one for him, probably tougher than he expects. I'd say Bute wins because of his style but who knows........I can't ****ing wait for bell to sound though, I can tell you that much!!

    I personally think Bute is too smooth in his boxing for Froch, I know that's a strange analysis to pick out as major factor, but that's how I see it. I think if Bute can see Froch's punches coming from the get go, and control the distance/take away Froch's reach advantage/jab...he will pick up a UD.

    Body shots will be a major factor in this bout IMO, and will see Bute edge out the championship rounds.

    Massive respect for Froch, and my heart hopes he can win.

    No such thing as a 'lucky KO', winning the lottery is lucky, knocking someone out with a punch that you intended to knock them out with = a win.

    I respect Froch, and his warrior attitude, but I think Bute might be too much for him at this point. Even in his hometown.

    My head says Bute but my heart says Froch.

    I love Froch (no homo) but I dunno if he can pull it off, I can see a bute UD or Froch KO11, hopefully the latter, but I can't call it

    i will be covering this fight for the blog http://fightscorecollector.blogspot.com saturday night so remember and add your scores on ESB and i will add to the blog along with all the other scores i collect.

    Regarding the fight , ESB just like most forums are pretty split on who they think will win the fight although in just about all of them Bute is the Favorite.

    I think that Bute has all the questions to answer in this fight...he is away from home in a big fight for the 1st time and Froch is by far the best opponent he has faced.

    Froch has beat and fought the much better opposition although many dont know how much he has left..too many hard fights.

    Can i just say this...Arthur Abraham did what Bute has done....he stayed at home fighting decent although NOT elite fighters BUT when he eventually did fight the elite HE was found out...BIGTIME.

    Froch to me has always been the favorite in this fight and i give Bute respect for taking this in Nottingham. Saying that though Froch is tested against the elite and Bute isnt thats why i think Froch will win on points around the 8-4 , 7-5 mark.
