I see this fight going a lot like the Bute-Andrade fight but I think Froch is more skilled than Andrade and the better fighter. He'll get outboxed by Bute for the 1st half but come on strong in the second half stopping Bute around the 10th or 11th round.
1 to 6 were jt including a 10 8 in 3 and actually very uncormfortable viewing so from that point he was outclassed. to use the football cliche it was a game of 2 halves!
I disagree, simply because Froch is not Andrade. He does not bring the same relentless pressure, most of his punches are single shots. I can't see it wearing Bute down as badly as Andrade did, who was constantly on him. Froch gives you much more time to think.
If you come to Canada and Froch wins, I'll pay you the beer at Bell Center! But I'm not scare at all for my money!
I' m always surprised to hear Taylor has more skills than Bute. That's not true. Taylor is a great athlete. He relies too much on that and stopped developping his skills for a long time now. His footwork is fast but not precise. His timing is not so good. And he doesn't adapt very well in a ring. Watch again Bute-Zuniga. Froch is bigger, has more skills, the fight would be much closer but the manner would be the same. Bute staying at the good distance, jabbing, counter punching, going to the body. Froch will get frustrated and will try to give it all. If he doesn't succeed at that exact moment of the fight, he will end on the floor. If he stands up like yesterday, he will be in front of a boxer who is able to finish a hurt guy.
If Pascal can use his mobility and his speed,he will defeat Diaconu.Otherwise if he slugs with Diaconu,he will get koed....
