    Home and away can end up being pointless. Hope it depends on how the first fight goes.

    Yes hopefully the first fight is a close war. Makes the 2nd one all the more appealing. I dont think Bute has the balls to go to war with Froch tho.

    It does pal. They are talking to Showtime about how the second fight would remain relevant if the first is a shutout for example. I'll post the link shortly.

    They will, I can guarantee. There will be moments. Not the entire fight but moments.

    Wicked. :good

    Do they mention where the first fight is likely to be? Canada, I'm guessing... :think

    Yep Montreal first then Nottingham for the second leg! I might go to the Nottingham show depending on the first. I like both guys but would cheer for Froch being a Brit and all.

    "Bute (30-0, 24 KOs), a native of Romania living in Montreal, has made six defenses of his 168-pound title and hoped to face the winner of the Super Six."

    Dan Rafael


    LoL 6? Really

    A bit unrealistic of me to expect the first leg to be in Nottingham, I suppose. I would have gone to it, as well. I'm worried now that the Montreal fight will be too one-sided to merit a meaningful return one.

    Actually, it wouldn't have been in Bute's advantage to have the second leg at home?
