Yeah agreed, it's a hard ask for Froch. Can be done Bute does have his flaws but he's still a fantastic fighter. Froch ain't bad himself mind.
Can really this fight being a close one over 12 rounds, a tight decision either way. I think Froch can do it. If Bute wins, however by knockout or squeaking out a razor thin decision, I think his stock as a fighter will rise greatly. Excellent fight, what boxing's all about.
