Bute. Froch would destroy him

:blood

Bute wide UD.

 

Agree on this one. Bute is faster than froch and has all the tools.

Besides, Bika is making people look like ****in amateurs. First Calzaghe and then Bute.

Froch is indeed relying on his power - but that aint good enough against the top dogs at smw.

 

David UK, would you be kind enough to suggest where I might see the fight too? Many thanks, mate!:good

 

I managed to catch a bit of the last round! I didn't know it was on. ****! This is why boxing is dying in Britain - we either don't know when it is on or it is on at ungodly times i.e. 4.30 in the morning.

Admittingly from what I saw, Froch could beat him. He was just standing in front of Bika letting off readable shots. Frochs foot and head movement, coupled with his heavy and angled shots he could beat Bute.

I only saw a segment of the bout and Bika has always been a tricky ****.

 

achillesthegreat, where did you see the fight?

 

English TV. FiveUS.

 

I don't know why, but my freeview doesn't allow me to get FiveUS...atsch ...live in Yorkshire by the way...

 

Then retune the channels. If it doesn't do it for you automatically then you'll need to do it manually.

 

I just saw it and thought pretty much the same thing. Bika was landing solid shots but ultimately lacked in the power, speed and reach departments necessary to make Bute pay throughout the fight. Against Froch, if Bute neglected the jab like he did for large parts of this fight then he'd be made to pay as Froch crashed in powerful, straight right hands as opposed to Bika's looping punches. I don't think Bute has the power to stop Froch from head hunting in his usual manner either; Bika didn't look hurt at all despite eating a number of flush left hands.

Bute seems like a decent fighter and I haven't seen all his fights, but for my money he's a class below Kessler and JC and maybe Lacy and Froch too.

 

Freeview does get Five US, so, like has already been advised, you need to rescan for more channels. It's there, definetly.

I thought Bute looked alright, but kinda slow. I'm not suprised with those ****ing huge gloves on, though.

 

To me, Bute didn't seem to punch particularly hard, be particularly well conditioned, or move particularly quickly. For someone who people have fallen in love with because of his physicality, I just don't see it. He did have more skill than I was expecting though.

 

Bika vs Froch is a 50-50 fight. :bart
