    Head and heart got Froch by decision. This IMO will be Bute's first real test.

    :lol:
    I meant it more like Wards win over Froch looks good because Froch won a meaningful fight after Ward beat him. It will look good on both men resumes.

    You can beat 20 undefeated fighter but when they dont win any meaningful fights after you beat them then those wins suddenly aren't anything special.

    Floyds win over Marquez looked alot better after Marquez embarrassed Pacquiao.

    If Froch comes out strong in the first 4 rounds or so, i think he will win!

    I see Bute just out boxing froch early on, and as long as he doesnt Tire out he should win 7 rounds or so.

    It's funny, the 'experts' polled by Ring have it 12-10 in favour of Bute, which is pretty close. On here though, Froch isn't being given much of a hope by anyone, even his own fans.

    It will be interesting to see how this pans out. Really looking forward to it. The smart money is on a Bute decision, I guess, but I may have a cheeky little bet on a Froch stoppage. Bute has had that china cracked by Andrade, and spectacularly by Golovkin in the amateurs, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility as far as I'm concerned.

    I can't back down from my prediction of a first round stoppage win for Froch(which started out as a joke) because if it did happen I think I could make a claim for one of ESB's greatest predictions.:happy
    But if you asked me what I'm going to do with the money I'm going to pilfer..erm..I mean..borrow from my daughter's bank account,I'd lean heavily towards Froch stopping Bute in the 11th round.
    If it was my own money though...:think

    Think Bute will win the fight but may not get the decision.

    I think Froch would have more chance earlier in the fight it will probably be een after 4 , then Bute will adapt and start to dominate , slowly but surely!
