    The argument goes like this: in order to be worthy to face A-level fighters, Bute must first face A-level fighters (which is impossible since he didn't faced yet any A-level opposition, therefore he will never be worthy of facing any of them). :hey

    As if the Green fight will give more money to Kessler than a Bute fight?

    :lol:

    TBH though, the "Green fight" should have been the Stieglitz fight. And he would have made good money with it, "it" being the SMW WBO title.

    It will give much more than he was offered by Interbox. Much much more. And with less risk.

    If you say so, but I dont see how Green can give Kessler more in any way, aside the risk which I agree with you is a lot less than with Bute.

    Danish PPV alone Will be significantly bigger than it would have been against Bute simply because of the timedifference. Add to that a big gate to go with overseas television rights.

    He won a shutout decision against a guy with whom you struggled to get to the Super Six final, Glen Johnson in a good fight but a MD nevertheless and this could not be forgotten...

    Let me laugh about the overseas TV rights. As of the domestic PPV, let's wait for the numbers. One thing is sure, Kessler went from Bute to Stieglitz to Allan Green. I hope Sauerland feels safe with Green because if it's not the case, Kessler should really retire.

    I believe Froch will impress, too. I think he genuinely wants to redeem himself after the Ward fight, and I think Bute provides him with just the right style that Froch can (and will) excel.

    I also think Bute might fight a bit out of character in front of the hostile crowd which plays to Carl's favor.

    I believe Froch wins inside the distance.

    If Bute can control the range, however, and land his body shots when the two are in close quarters, it could be a difficult night for The Cobra. But I sincerely believe his big fight experience will see him to victory.

    Froch lost to Ward, but his match with Kessler was great. Carl may have done enough to earn a draw in that one. It was close.

    The fight Froch - Kessler was really entertaining, a hell of a fight. Fight with Ward was heavenly boring. I really hope that the fight with Bute to be even more spectacular than Froch - Kessler. Otherwise it seems that Froch,s mounth is not so big as in the past. Respect for Froch taking this fight. Respect for Bute that accepted to travel in England.

    So you believe Bute's style is perfect for Froch yet if Bute controls the range and lands his body shots (basically what Bute does in every match :lol:) Froch will be in trouble. Now this is some expert insight :deal.
