This is a part of Dwyer's opinion from Gamblers Advisory: "Bute is much more advanced in his opinion than Mikkel Kessler, another former Froch opponent who gave Froch (in Denmark) all he can handle. Kessler you can find in the ring, guys like Lucian Bute and Andre Ward you can't find because they are playing Sergio Martinez type cat and mouse game. Bute might be right in front of you, he might be off of side, he might be far away, just finding Bute is a problem. Look at Bute's fight against Sakio Bika, another agressive hooker who of course had problems catching up with Bute." He sees two possible scenarios: 1 Lucian Bute is gonna win the first fight by such a margin that Froch is not gonna want the rematch. 2 Even though Carl Froch hasn't knock out anybody lately, he gives Froch a puncher's chance especially since he throws a great uppercut from distance. The most likely outcome is Lucian Bute to win the fight. He doesn't see Carl Froch winning a decision, only via KO.

OMG...finally Dwyer picks the right guy....ooh nevermind....there wasn't a black guy to lure him into giving bad advice.
Well, another guy who doesn't understand the rematch clause in this fight. To make things clear, the rematch clause is effective ONLY if Bute loses. If Lucian wins, Froch can say what he wants, Bute wont be obligated to give him a rematch.
:good That's the way I understood it too. . . I can perfectly understand Bute wanting an insurance policy if he gets absolutely ROBBED in Nottingham. . . Lol, it's good cause Froch is the stubborn type who will HONESTLY believe in his mind that he can beat Bute in a rematch no matter how bad he loses. . . So Ward won't have anymore excuses to swerve Bute again. . . Bute standing RIGHT IN HIS PATH to be called the best 168 pounder in the world after he beats Froch. . . Can't swerve to the left. . swerve to the right. . duck under him .. jump over top of him. . nor take an "exit" off the freeway. . .
I wonder if this site and the Ring Magazine will do that naming Bute the best 168 pounder in the world if he beats Froch in Nottingham more convincely than Ward did in Oakland. Boxrec had Bute number 1 before Ward winning the Super Six.
For the ring magazine, it depends how close G@@53N and GBP are. Boxrec, Bute would obviously get his #1 spot back, and ESB well.. Hard to say..
i noticed this youtube video was posted on 10.01.2012, at that time there were talks for 2 fights, the first should've been in Quebec
