It won't be a FOTY candidate. Bute will dominate too much for that. Froch is gonna eat monstrous right hands. As soon as he protects himself from these, he's gonna eat the left hand. It will come from everywhere. Bute's camp has been able to improve his power AND his quickness. Bute has been learning many things in the last 3 years (head movement, improving the jab, inside boxing, short punches, improving the right hand) and I feel Bute has now integrated them now, making him a far more complete fighter than he was. That will not be pretty. Sorry for the fans of Froch. You won't see your favourite getting dominated. You'll see him getting annihilated.

If I'm wrong, I'll come over my disappointment, which will be enormous, to eat my crow.

Now, now, annhiliated!! :happy :happy :happy

You're going all in on this one Laffie, like most of us. :smoke

However I wasn't that direct in my comments regarding the outcome of the fight. I'm sure Froch will have his moments....... right? Total domination would be one hell of a message to the boxing world, and Eric Lucas seems high on that idea.

I think being there in the crowd will skew my perception of momentum, as in who 'currently' has the upper hand / winning rounds. The Hooligans as they call them, will be louder than getting a ride with a CEGEP student who has a big sound system in their car. I might not fully appreciate Bute's performance before I see it on tv/internet.

Flight departure time, 14.5 hrs remaining. :happy

You should be used to "crow" by now.Do you recall David Lemieux?

BTW he's on the comeback trail.

Bute's leg infection definitely hurt him more than helped him last night

So ahead of his fight with Carl Froch, which is Bute's first fight in a hostile environment, the excuses are already flying left, right and center.

First we have the excuse for the british market:
Apparently Bute's leg is badly infected. This is reminiscent of the David Haye 'Toe-Excuse'.

The brits are well aware of the terrible effects a bad toe had to David Haye's perfomance against Wlad Klitschko. But in order to be on the safe side, the Bute-PR dept. wouldn't settle for just a toe so they took the whole leg.

The brits will understand that one.

Secondly we have a bad cold for the canadian homemarket:
So now Bute has travelled from sunny Florida to misty England and has caught a nasty snotty nose in the process. Interbox is afraid to treat it with anything but Earl-Grey tea.

This is clearly an excuse made for the homemarket. Remember Bute's first fight with Librado Andrade? Well Bute was knocked from pillar to post stumbling around like a baby giraffe going for it's first walk. Bute's homer ref. shamelessly gave Bute plenty of time and in the process played russian roulette with the boxers health by allowing Bute to go the distance.

Afterwards Bute said he was weakened by disease badly minimizing his stamina.

Now the canadians are prepared again. Bute has a nasty cold that has the same effect.

Thoughts?
