I could see this turning into a war and exciting fight. Both fighter will touch the canvas but bute wins bu UD. 7-5 maybe 8-4.
Really hyped too.. I really want Froch to win, but i just feel that Bute is too fast and too technical sound, plus he is not as worn out as Froch is..
I think Bute will dominate Froch too much to be the FOTY but it will be a great fight, I'm pretty sure of it. I've just watched a Bute fight (Johnson) just after a Froch one (Abraham) and I can't see how Froch could win. The difference in speed is significant. Handspeed and footwork are on Bute's side.
My own feeling is it won't quite deliver on the hype - the closer we get I think that Bute is going to win. For Froch to win it needs to be a barnburner but for Bute to win clear, not so much. I think that it will be good though, nobody is going to be disappointed.
My thoughts as well. I re-watched both of them against Johnson recently (among a couple other fights) and I'm very confident in a big performance and win from Bute.
I think.. That it could go that way.. But i just think that it will be competetive, the only fighter who has dominated Froch is Ward, and he did it by roughing him up on the inside and getting under underneath his firing range, which is a skill that Bute doesn't have.. But the difference in speed and technical abillity is pretty big between the two, that's why i believe that Bute wins a 116-112 or 117-111 decision.. But i hope that Froch can pull it off..
Its more than a Fight of the year, its a great card overall Bute V Froch with Cote and Frampton on the undercard. I am looking forward to this
I think it will be messy for a while.This is more about the fight than the actual quality of the fight. It's a real trade fight for true boxing fans.
