Hardly. Bute is a world class talent. Other than hailing from across the pond ( and thus the attendant British hype/support that that entails), Forch is thoroughly unremarkable. Bute scores an easy UD.
:rofl Froch has been MORE convincing than Bute so far against MUCH BETTER opponents. This Fight would never happen at least not before Froch has gone 100 wars and is badly faded. Froch would Wear him down. ****ing Boxrec nro1 Buteatsch:-(
Bute will do to Froch what Dirrel did to him when he stood his ground and fought back like in the 10th except the whole fight
bute by tko in 10 by brutal body shots.....froch is a one dimensional fighter, hes a brawler with a punch....thats it... put him against bute and froch will not even look like he is in the same class
Froch can hurt Bute for sure though I'd consider him an underdog. Like 60-40. Though Froch has been tested much harder. I do think people talk too much about the ending of the first Andrade fight. I did read that he was quite ill during that (okay, I know, may be horse****, but it's on my mind) and since he wasn't getting his ass kicked throughout that fight and won the rematch with ease, you know. I don't think that's an unfair statement.
Of course he hasn't been tested, he only fights setups in the Bell Centre in Montreal. He's a pretender of a champion. They didn't even show his fight in his home country, that's how irrelevant he is. http://english.hotnews.ro/stiri-top...n-bute-defends-his-title-against-brinkley.htm
finally, I get sick of all the Froch hate on here...people going on about his style blah blah "shots thrown from the knee" blah blah Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler(loss/care) not a bad resume for his last few fights. Froch no matter what about his style is gonna test your heart at some point, the guys a clever and ****ing irritating boxer, look at anyone who goes inside with him, it ends up in a tear up. People who comment maybe watch fights like with Pascal or Taylor and see how Froch just buckles under pressure atsch
Food poisoning a few weeks before the fight and an allergic reaction to the meds. Th doctor didn't him to fight. You can think what you want but if you knew Bute just a bit, you would have noticed even BEFORE the fight that something was not going well. Bute never has stamina problems.
