    I think that Froch will get seriously outboxed for a long time in a fight vs Bute. He'd make Froch look like the boxer we both know him to be.

    But I can't see Bute being able to KO Froch early - he's just a bit too tough for that. Froch always has moments in a fights where you wonder how he heaved himself into any position to land shots but he always does. Bute's no awkward Dirrell type of fighter and you've only got to look at the Andrade fight to know he could potentially struggle late. Froch is going to be there all night trying and I'd fancy him to get to Bute eventually.

    Isn't PPV in Canada ridiculously expensive? And TV in general.

    yeah I remember him being touted as some sort of KO specialist, he has been taken the distance a few times now.

    Stylistically Bute will be Andre Wards toughest fight. It's a shame we can't anoint him yet because of his level of comp. as he's clearly the truth skillset wise.

    Remember him having a decent showing on I think the Pacquiao - Hatton undercard and was being touted along with Erislandy Lara as being the next big thing. I'd say it hasn't gone all to plan for both so far, but at least Lara has got a chance to propel himself tonight.

    I heard he has/had a problem with his nose, which could be part of the reason why he began to fall apart in the later rounds of some of his recent fights. Not sure if hes had that sorted out yet or not though.

    Primetime missed out big time tonight. Had a non PPV card on and didn't promote any cards they had coming out. Anyone know when Khan Vs Judah is happening
