~~~The Lightning Lucian Bute Battleship~~~

what baldness???

 

Following Froch's theory Bika did a much better job against Ward than Froch and Bika already lost very clear with Bute. So Bute > Ward > Bika > Froch.

 

Bute's right hook seems better than ever in that last video of his training.

I think Froch will soon figure out that Bute doesn't tippy tap tap just to win the round. He sets you for the one punch K.O.

 

Yep , I noticed that his right hook is improving , and looks more natural than the last time i've seen him. So , Frochy , you better prepare for some big surprises coming from Bute.
Also , Epix did a really good job with that promoting video.

 

8 long days before the fight. Anyone knowing the promotion calendar for next week? Is there a public training and a conference?

 

I hear the weigh-in will be public. I'll try to go.

I think the presser(s) will be uneventful. :bart

 

I pick Froch. Don't know why. I think people are overrating Bute a little and underrating Froch.

 

Don't know anything , yet . Maybe the english posters can help with that.

 

Why I have a feeling EPIX will fall in love after Froch and Bute consequently to this fight?

 

One thing about this fight. People pick Bute to win by knockout, usually when a fighter is picked to win against a guy proven like Froch, he is the one knocked out. I could see Bute stopped since Bute is going to be overconfident and he might leave himself open to a counter.

 

Anything can happen , in a boxing match. I'm confindent Bute will find a way to handle Froch .

 

I think Froch has the experience. And he is durable. Glen Johnson can punch and has a good right hand, and Froch avoided it for the most part and won that fight. I am in the minority here, but I am picking Froch like I said. I am excited about this fight, because my gut feeling tells me Bute is being overrated compared to Froch, who has good heart, good skills and overrall is a very solidfighter. Not great in one thing, but overall solid. If a guy can beat Froch, that fighter is complete.

 

I could see Bute get stopped if he's not prepared for Froch's explosion combos which usually follow shots that land on him. As in, he comes RIGHT back with combos after getting 'scored on'.

However I don't see Bute "leaving himself open to a counter". I think Bute has the speed department covered... and see Froch winning only if he's successful dragging Bute into a grueling war.

 

So Kessler and Ward are complete fighters , but Lucian is not. If you want to beat Froch , you need to exploit his poor defense. Bute has the attributes to do that. We'll see on 26 May who's overrated , and who's not.

 

Well, we don't know how will Bute react in an hostile environment. Could he lose his temper?

I don't think so.
