As an aside, I can't really see the problem with the Bute v Andrade finish. Bute beat the count and then the bell went, but if he fades like that v Froch he has no chance
But the thing is, he faded like that because he kept punching Andrade's face in and kept thinking that eventually, Jorge would fall. Bute usually has great stamina and finishes his fights stronger. That's why he took a risk but don't you think he learned from it? Do you think he'd make the same mistake again and not pace himself better? And can Froch absorb the same kind of punishment that Andrade did? So many people who never saw Bute before talk as if there's a blueprint on how to beat him: let him punch you in the face for the whole match, then when he gasses out with 2 seconds to go in the 12th, knock him down. Then, even if he gets up in 8 seconds, complain that the ref counted for 20 seconds and that stopped you from attacking again.
You do realize you making these kind of treads makes you sound like a Carl Froch nuthugger right? And before you try to get back at me by saying I'm a Bute nuthugger. I dare you to come up with a single post of mine as bad as the one you just did. Best regards, Maxime,
I think Bute should be the favorite no matter where it is held. However, I accept that Froch has a decent chance.
Romanian isn't a race Nitpicking aside I'd love to see this fight - in Nottingham so I can go and watch
I can agree with that...''IF he fades like that v Froch he has no chance'' but if Froch is slow and sloppy as usual and Bute doesn't fade, it will be a shutout.
actually there is another paper champ by the name of Adrian Diaconu how many paper champs do you have?
This fight is much like the Taylor fight imo. Froch could get outboxed decisively or he could get outboxed decisively and score a devastating late KO. Technically Bute is actually better than Jermain Taylor, but you could also ask questions about Bute's stamina because he faded big time in those last few rounds with Andrade. Id pick Froch in this fight because i dont think Bute would do enough to offest his attacks.
imported paper champs aswell... moliter was probably the best home grown fighter they had but he was also exposed...:goodjust as bute and diaconu will be.
