    And I guess when Ward broke his hand on Carls head in round 6 or so, he was also having an easy time winning the fight from then on in? No it's because Ward is mentally extremely tough and worked through the pain, and is more talented, hats off to him. Beating someobody over 12 rounds having a damaged hand is not easy, this is a testiment to Ward's great talent.

    But relatively, the fight was easy.

    Bute wins, Froch does not have the power to KO Bute, Golovkin style, and the Ward loss will play havoc with his mental state, especially if Bute gets a sizeable lead on the scorecards.

    A, B and C rarely has an outcome on fights, but Bute's win over Johnson was very telling, and their really isn't much else Froch brings to the table.

    Wouldn't read that much into Bute/Johnson.

    Carl Froch gets his ass handed to him twice , earns a nice pay day times 2 and drifts off into irrelevance

    Happy with that :yep

    The only conceivable reason this fight (Ward Bute) hasnt been made and Bute Froch has (allegedly) is because the camps cannot reach a deal , and Matchroom have capitalised rather sharpishly

    Granted , Bute in most fans opinions is still un tested against the aformentioned Kessler , Dirrell , Froch etc etc , but if you ask most fans how Bute fairs against those fighters they'd probably all make him the favourite , this fight is ready to be made now , Bute for all he hasnt done , has done enough to warrant a fight with Ward IMHO
     
  9. If this is true, what happens if Bute absolutely schools Froch in Canada?

    The only real way that is happening is if Froch's physical attributes significantly slow down between now and then , i.e. he gets old over night

    Unlikely

    While i have Froch losing the fight , losing every round ???? , i dont think so ...................

    Bute could knock Froch out though. He's a harder one puncher hitter than anyone Froch has faced. More importantly he has the speed and awkwardness to hit you with unusual punches. Dirrell and Ward aren't punchers, Abraham could never get into punching range due to limited boxing ability, Kessler was pretty sloppy IMO and mainly looking downstairs. I don't think Froch can absorb what Bute dishes out the way he has been.

    Bika was the toughest test of his career. Or that guy who floored him a few years back.

    Relative ease, and ease is different.

    Bute cripples Froch, make this fight happen, Bute will do what Ward could not do. That was dismantle this robot.
    It be brutal fight get it on, so one sided beyond belief but least it shut the ****ing Bute haters up when he batters Froch.

    The fight won't happen, cause Froch knows he would lose and be beaten to a pulp.
