Who wins? Froch v Bute?

Froch KO

 

look at that poll, pretty damn close!

 

You're right about that. Bute is a very good counterpuncher. Froch likes to counterpunch too so it would be interesting to see who will be the agressor.

 

255 votes and only 3 votes seperating them, is this the closest poll in ESB history which so many people have voted on?

 

As soon as this fight is official, I'm calling out David UK to a ONE YEAR avatar bet. And this time, the winner will choose witch image the looser will carry for that year. There is no way Froch beats my guy. He had a lot of problems with Pascal and was loosing against Taylor, the first one is a top 15 at best and the other one is a blown MW with too much milage. Bute will be the first real SMW Champion Froch will have to face, that's when he will be exposed as a no defense, poor skills boxer. It should be the begenning of the downfall for Froch. Milk the cow before it tips....

He's saying that he took time out for few weeks to see his family in Romania , he's starting training in Montreal 3 weeks ago.The next match is in september .He has 2 possibilities:
Rematch angains Librado Andrade
Unification bout against Carl Froch
He will know in the next few days who will be the next opponent.He's objective is to ramain world champion or to win another belt.

 

So in other words....absolutely nothing new.

Thanks for the links tho.

 

like i said lets hope the odds are similar to this poll

 

The only information we have is that if a fight is made between Froch and Bute, it would be for september 5. The rest is all rumours...

 

Montreal French press states today that an official announcement will be made about the next Bute fight in the next few days. By the end of the month, we'll know for sure the date, location and next victim of "Le Tombeur". :happy

Froch vs Bute:bbb

Froch is a great fighter, he is powerful, has good endurance, and a great finisher.

Bute on the other hand, has all that and then some. Bute wins in speed, movement, boxing technique and know-how as well as ... very important ... being able to change his style and adapt to his adversary (eg. watch the Sakio Bika fight - 2 years ago).

If we look at each boxer's opponents, we can not say that one had fought tougher opponents than the other. Neighter can we make analogies like Froch beat Taylor, Taylor beat B-Hop, so Froch will beat B-Hop ... bull ****! Each boxer's dimensions are different and different boxer exploits weaknesses to a certain extent, to different extents!

In every sport, there are specialists, experts, ppl that spend all their lives learning, studying, practicing and coaching the sport. Ignoring their opinion to go with our own is kinda naive and proves lack of reasoning and excess partisanship. In boxing, experts say that speed and technique will almost always win over strong resistant bodies and hard punching “animals”, the examples are overwhelming (Calzghe vs B-Hop, Bute vs Andrade, Hatton vs Pac... etc.). Yes, accidents can happen, no doubt!

Bute has the better boxing technique (movement, precision, defense, combination punching, adaptability and versatility) and has faster hands than Froch. On the other hand, for arguments sake, Froch looks solid and stronger than Bute, punching maybe harder, but a guy with a limited boxing dimensionality. For argument sake again, Froch is better than Bute in 2 or 3 aspects of boxing and that by a little. But Bute is superior to Froch in most aspects by quiet a bunch.

If we have no surprises: paid officials, lack of concentration during the fight, some lucky punching, strong effects on the fighter because of and adverse crowd or god knows what ... Bute will win by UD 8 rounds to 4 (at least).

Also, since the two fighters are KO artists, I would say we have a 20% chance to see a knock-out on either side!!!

Note: The poll is crazy unbalanced but it is due to the difference of notoriety of the two boxers... Looks like more ppl. have seen Carl fight than Lucian … things are about to change! USA and UK get ready to witness this Romanian fighting machine… :shock:

Bonne boxe a tous!

 

This is what I mean.... hope u speak french ... bwuhahahaha
the article was published on June 19th by "La Presse":


Carl Froch ou Librado Andrade? L'identité du prochain adversaire de Lucian Bute sera vraisemblablement confirmée dès aujourd'hui, a appris La Presse.

Le promoteur de Bute, InterBox, a reçu hier de l'IBF une lettre annonçant la mise aux enchères prochaine du combat entre son protégé et Andrade, l'aspirant numéro un à la ceinture des super-moyens détenue par le boxeur montréalais.

Ce «purse bid», comme on l'appelle dans le jargon, est rendu nécessaire par l'échec des négociations entre InterBox et le promoteur d'Andrade, Golden Boy Promotions. Les relations entre les deux camps sont tendues en raison de la controverse ayant entouré le premier combat entre Bute et Andrade, en octobre dernier.

Une dispute au sujet des gants des boxeurs et le long compte de 10 accordé à Bute dans les dernières secondes de l'affrontement avaient mis le feu aux poudres.

La seule manière de ******er sans pénalité le combat contre Andrade serait d'engager Bute dans un combat d'unification. Or, des pourparlers sont justement en cours avec le promoteur de Froch, sacré champion WBC des 168 livres lors de sa victoire contre Jean Pascal, en décembre en Angleterre.

Froch s'est depuis fait un nom aux États-Unis en battant Jermain Taylor au Connecticut grâce à un spectaculaire K.-O. au 12e round, en avril. Il a mentionné à plusieurs reprises son désir d'affronter Bute pour unifier les deux titres. Son promoteur, Mick Hennessy, devait assister au combat entre Pascal et Adrian Diaconu, ce soir, au Centre Bell, mais il s'est finalement désisté.

Le combat Froch-Bute, s'il se concrétise, aurait lieu le 12 septembre, en Angleterre, possiblement au O2 Arena de Londres. Il aurait lieu au milieu de la nuit, afin de permettre sa diffusion aux heures de grande écoute sur le réseau Showtime, aux États-Unis.

La mise aux enchères du combat Bute-Andrade II, exigée par Golden Boy, force donc InterBox à choisir. Et ce choix, selon nos sources, devrait se faire dans les heures précédant le gala de ce soir ou, au plus ****, dans les prochains jours.

Même si Bute optait pour un combat revanche contre Andrade, il y a fort à parier que celui-ci aurait lieu à l'extérieur de Montréal. En effet, si Golden Boy veut forcer la tenue d'un encan, c'est vraisemblablement parce qu'il s'est assuré de l'appui financier d'un télédiffuseur, qui lui permettrait d'emporter la mise.

Bute ne serait toutefois pas perdant, car un combat octroyé par «purse bid» assure le champion de 75% de la bourse.

 

Damn,that poll is huge and close.

Brits have many aliases.

 

Carl "the granite chin cobra" Froch!

This fight is gona be a classic!

 

Interbox will higly probable announce today in a press conference the next fight of Lucian Bute... I expect it to be against Froch since no other boxer was mentioned here in the past month.

Lets get ready to rumble!
