Honestly what has froch got to beat him? Doesn't have the speed, defence or movemonet to nullify anything bute does! Credit for froch for taking the fight he's showing the way for worldwide boxing and fighting champion after champion which is something this sport lacks. Froch is fantastic for British boxing and the sport as a whole but as far as his career goes he is getting beat quite convincingly against bute.
Underated ability, an awkward style, good power, grit, determination, higher level experience. Bute is very good but over rated he's not nearly as difficult to hit as ward and doesn't have the same speed or overall ability as Ward. In my opinion the key to Froch winning this fight is he has to dictate the tempo Bute always looks very good when he is fighting at his own pace, Froch has to stop him from doing that, Froch will also have to tidy up his jab and keep his right elbow tucked in as he has a habit of doing the bow and arrow whenever he throws a jab leaving himself very open to the counter left to the body which we know Bute loves throwing so much.
We will see how good Bute is, Its ok to look good beating tomatoe cans in all fairness Froch is easily his best challange and if this goes in the later stages theres a good chance Bute will gas and Froch may spark him there is a high chance of that. Not impressed with Butes Stamina i think he is vunrable going into the second half of the fight. Froch is hard, rugged and can box abit too if Froch brings his A game i think he can take it..
I think Froch will beat him, on points. If Bute does win, he'll have shown us something he hasn't before... Carl is easily the best opponent he's ever had.
What so when Bute is going round with his gloves low and gets caught by a good shot then make your judgement, how can you make a judgement on Froch the man who came 2nd in the super six, he's no mug and has earnt my respect as a world class fighter.. Can you name me 3 world class fighters Bute has been in with.. :think
Bute is favourite but has not fought anyone and defiantly isn't as tricky to hit as Ward. Froch can catch him and if he does we all know the power that the Cobra has. I don't recall anyone hurting Froch he has an amazing chin shown in previous fights. so yes Froch has more than a punchers chance.
Butes never been stopped (sorta!) and Froch hasn't stopped anyone since Taylor. Its got points fight written all over it IMHO Billy.
Bute can be caught and hurt yes but tbh I think froch's power is over rated on a work level. Froch can be totally outboxed and beaten to the punch. He relies on being able to take shots to much and neglecting his defence, therefore leaving himself fare to open for a faster fighter r.e Taylor, ward. Yes I came 2nd in super 6 but who did he beat? A blown up middle and a very contrversial win over dirrel. Bute hasent boxed great opposition your right but he's coming over to the uk and fighting froch so this is his time to step up.
