What chances does Bute has to beat Froch in a rematch?

not only is froch the better fighter skill wise, but he's stronger mentally and physically, not to mention, froch would be riding high and at an all time high confidence wise, while bute would be in the recovery stages of one of the most devastating kinds of losses for a first time loser. his demons would haunt him, on top of being disadvantaged in nearly every other category. froch would knock him out again, maybe a little later this time.

 

need to see him fight a couple decent smws first and see how he looks and if he can improve

 

Absolutely none. I even picked Bute to win, but after what I saw, I don't think he has a chance to even run to a decison or get a lucky punch off. Margarito put in a better performance against Mosley FFS.

 

Well according to Frochtards, not only should Bute win he should crush Froch in onesided fashion if they have the fight in Romania because Homefield advantage dictates such a swing in skill.

No chance. None. He has no Chin and Froch knows it.

 

None

 

I think Froch will beat Kessler, then it'll be off to Montreal.

Bute CANNOT perform any worse than he did in Nottingham, but there are now huge question marks over his mentality and his chin.

It might take longer this time and with all the advantages of home thrown in then there could be a marked improvement by Bute, but I will say Froch will win by mid-to-late stoppage.

The more success Bute has, the more he will anger Froch who will counter with more venom. I think Bute is more likely to stay off the ropes in a return fight which would leave him open to a one-punch KO by The Cobra, albeit, in a later round.

I'll give Bute a 30-40% chance based on him making it the distance in his hometown.

 

If Bute brings a baseball bat into the ring, his chances go from 0% to 25%

0-10%

The biggest problem as many have said is that Froch do not respect Bute's power at all and every time Froch barely touched him, Bute looked rocked.

For Bute to win a fight with Froch, he would need to run every single round, fight v defensive and pot shot Froch and hope for a decision.

The problem is that if you run all day, with judges already tending to favour the more aggressive fighter anyway and with this fight in mind, Bute would have no chance in hell of getting a decision.

I cannot see how Bute would want to ever fight Froch again. There were absolutely nothing that shows he has any chance of beating Froch and really he can forgot Ward and Kessler too.

 

Can't see it, His chin can't take Froch's shots.

 

Don't know man.. Bute somehow knows how to defend himself when he's off the ropes, compared to when he's backed on the ropes.

Anywayz, I say 30-40% (which I think is optimistic, but hey, I'm an optimistic guy!).

 

IMO, his chin is alright. I think the problem is in his head. He didn't learn to react to a powerpunch, so that made him freeze as soon as he got hit hard. Will he overcome this? Maybe not, but I think if he does, his chin (although not granite in any way) will hold on.
