    Really insightful.
    I'm guessing you're a trainer by profession?:think

    I kinda hoped you and me had an understanding and grudging respect.
    You're another one who's capable of much better if you didn't let anger cloud your posting.

    Do you think he can add dimensions to his game at 35?

    Very unlikely mate.He got very old in one night last time round.But at the very least he MUST get that left up.
    I don't know how he does it without bringing something unexpected to the fight though.:huh

    He must be on perfect conditioning and find a way to use his tools with maximum efficiency.

    I know.Although one thing we can usually rely on is his conditioning.It is one of his genuine strong points.

    He needs to keep the pressure, force Bute to keep working/throwing till he starts to get to him. Froch has to also commit to body punches more than head. If he's able to handle Bute's punches and keep him throwing he could eventually get him tired and take over from there.

    Froch can't use that cross over defence in this fight, atleast I wouldn't advise it.

    Bute's jab would occupy Carl's left hand, leaving him open for a straight left, Bute could even feint with the left and then hook off of the jab, so he needs to work on tightening his defence, or it's a long, long night.

    Getting that left up is essential.Is it too late though?
    One of the Bute fans said I was overrating LB's jab,but from the stuff I've watched it looks very sharp indeed.
    What do you think SJS?
