**Lucian Bute vs Carl Froch - Build Up Thread!**

Roach made some good points there, but it wasn't as specific as Atlas' is. I think Froch's tendency to wing shots will be his major issue here. He's not got the footwork to really crowd Bute, so we'll likely see him throwing shots from odd angles to try and disrupt the Romanian.

Bute doesn't need to rely on his jab, since he delivers shorter, crisper combinations than Carl will. Bute can wait for Froch to unload that right hand when there's no opening and bring in his right hook from an angle, then the left uppercut will likely follow.

A lot of people dismiss Bute, but he's got some serious tools.

 

Trust the guy must go on this site cos i've seen him quote word for word from some posters say about his opponents, Loves using the word raingy aswell.
It's random cos i just saw his interview on ringside from last week

 

I'm hoping Froch can still kick it in the championship rounds and gamble that bute has struggle with weight and gases late for a stoppage, if not then bute wins this on points.

Bute on points or Froch by late stoppage, I can't see any other outcome.

 

THose 'behind the ropes' shows are excellent, much more enjoyable than that 24/7 shite.


Oh, and I want Froch to win but I think hes getting hit with an uppercut he doesnt see coming in this fight

 

I think this fight is going to be an absolute classic. At least the last four of five rounds anyway.

Froch will try to apply his educated pressure - fail with it as usual - and then just try and take Bute out once he realises he's behind on the scorecards. Bute will have that left cocked waiting to strike but Froch might bring out that vulnerability that Andrade exposed in Bute a few years ago if he starts to connect. I think the more likely scenario is a Bute prevailing ; both on points and also coming out on top in the battles of wills late on. He will just prove to be a bit too polished and too refined to be sufficiently ruffled by Froch's pressure.

 

Froch is 6/1 for a stoppage on sky bet

 

driving down tomorrow morning :happy:happy:happy

anyone know what time and where the weigh in is?

 

Just watched both Behind the ropes shows, really up for this fight now can only see a Bute UD though. Only way it's any different if he is unsettled by the occasion
