Heading over to Germany myself, but I am tempted by Froch/Bute and Montreal sounds like a great place to visit. At least you were one of the lucky few to get over for the Taylor fight and judging by your avatar, you must of had a ball.:good
i gotta go with Bute by wide UD. Froch ain't gonna tire Bute out like Andrade did. I'd love to see Andrade vs Froch though, that'd be an amazing fight.
Yes I did mate, thanks. It was a pity only about 60 Froch supporters made the trip. I managed to get into press conference for Froch v Taylor in New York and the following day did the same at the New York leg of the Klitschko/Haye pressers. There are some pics on a thread I started in the British forum somewhere although they will have slipped down a few pages by now. You've just reminded me to book up a hotel in Dusseldorf!!!
I think in financial terms the fight will be made in Montreal. Bute will bring around 20 000 fans, and Showtime wouldn't have to travel overseas...
Froch by Ko...unless the ref helps bute again. Froch is everything Bute doesnt want to face....far better than andrade . Throws a great straight right down the pipe...the perfect shot for a shouthpaw. KO 6 ... i dont think this fight will be in Nottingham...Bute will need every advantage to even the match up I also think Froch beat the better canadian in Pascal.
there already been in Montréal and has Froch said Can$ worth less then the Euro so it will cost less for Showtime to get the Fight in Montréal! Diffusion time will be a factor too! But Montréal or Nothingham ,both love there fighters and the atmosphere will be incredible!
Bute represents more a nightmare to Froch than vice versa. Froch doesn't put the same pressure as Andrade and is really really open. Bute is better than Taylor, he is as fast but has faster feet and hits harder. I think that everyone will agree that if Froch wins it will be by T/KO probably late, but I don't think it will happen.
Andrade has the only thing that could bother Bute. Froch doesn't have it. Froch is not a pressure fighter. bute have seen what Froch brings to the table many times now. Froch hasn't seen a southpaw like Bute.
I like Bute about 8-4. Bute's footwork is a million times better than JT's. If JT had any footwork, he would've beaten Froch 8-4ish. Bute can actually move laterally unlike JT. JT only goes front and back. Bute won't do the same. He'll throw from different angles and give Froch different looks.
