    Does make sense.
    I also wrote earlier about Bute being overawed.
    Also read what I wrote earlier -
    One thing I notice with Froch is that when he is without a title and challenging he puts in fantastic performances like against -

    Pascal
    Abraham
    Bute

    but when he is defending a title he seems to be a bit lazy and not do so much look at -
    Taylor behind before end
    Dirrell many think he lost
    Kessler he did lose
    Johnson old SMW journeyman took him to a Mdec, few think he lost
    ward he did lose

    If Froch gets past Mack, will he be lazy against Bute and get outboxed?
    It was shocking how Bute was hurt by any punch that landed and I always thought Bute was worried about punches coming back at him.

    I think Bute / Froch in Canada with Froch defending could be a tougher fight that before for Froch

    How about 'Carl Froch is an elite fighter and just on a different class to Bute?'
