Bute Froch or Bute Dirrell?

Dirrell, he clowns Bute & it sets up Ward-Dirrell for this year as well, which is a brilliant fight in terms of styles. FROM INDEPENDENCE SHALL COME GREATNESS!!! is that you, dre?

Dirrell because I think Bute can beat him and I want to see Dirrell lose.

i do think that bute has improved a good deal since the andrade fight that being said, he was all but knocked out. if i were counting i would have stopped the fight. if there's a style at 168 similar to andrade it's froch Andre Ward punks em all though tbh That guy is on point, he is highly talented and skilled, well disciplined, Tough both Mentally and physically, strong, intelligent, versatile and has the best inside game in boxing today He is one focused cat and when a fighter with natural talent like him trains as hard and stays as focused as he has been then thats a recipe for success

Haha! :haha: I pretty much agree with ur post as usual, and while i think Andre has a genuine chance at an upset win i lean more towards a knockout loss.... Initial thoughts are Bute puts a beating on Froch totally outboxing him but the difference between getting schooled by Ward and schooled by Bute is that Bute is a straight up Dangerous puncher and Carl could potentially be looking at his first stoppage loss (Points is more likely however) On the other hand Bute might not be the strongest mentally and its not out of the question that Froch gets to him late and makes him cave somewhat like the first Andrade fight? i do think that bute has improved a good deal since the andrade fight that being said, he was all but knocked out. if i were counting i would have stopped the fight. if there's a style at 168 similar to andrade it's froch

Froch, Direll has got too much to prove before.

i think dirrell would either touch up bute and have an easy time of it or get knocked out i'm thinking it might be the latter. if it's a rought fight i'm favoring bute. i dont think dirrell can take his punches. either he outclasses bute or gets stopped. he's the most talented guy in the tournament, but that doesnt win you fights. he's not as strong mentally as froch and ward, or even bute. and he's got the temperament of a guy who either doesnt like to take punches or CANT we'll find out which one it is against bute. he's a legitimately dangerous dude. he hit glen johnson so hard he thought he won the fight!

I think Dirrell has a real shot at beating Bute and i dont like Lucien so probably him..... Froch though would provided a better action fight no doubt and his pre fight banter is always worth a listen! Personally id like to see the Cobra smash Bute to bits but im more inclined to think Bute handles him well.... i think dirrell would either touch up bute and have an easy time of it or get knocked out i'm thinking it might be the latter. if it's a rought fight i'm favoring bute. i dont think dirrell can take his punches. either he outclasses bute or gets stopped. he's the most talented guy in the tournament, but that doesnt win you fights. he's not as strong mentally as froch and ward, or even bute. and he's got the temperament of a guy who either doesnt like to take punches or CANT (and that's got nothing to do with the abraham DQ, if he was acting he's - A: deserving of an oscar, and B: iron chinned and a mastermind of scheming. that was a flush bomb from arthur abraham.) we'll find out which one it is against bute. he's a legitimately dangerous dude. he hit glen johnson so hard he thought he won the fight!

Froch puts the pressure on Bute & makes him fold late in the fight. Dirrel jumps on his bike & this matchup of 2 superslick wannabe's stinks up the joint.

I agree both are good fights but Showtime being so against Froch Bute doesn't make any sense. showtime inflated the shiz out of their prices with the SS i dont blame them for not wanting to use huge amounts of their budget on a single bute fight when they can get a simmilar result pairing him with somebody who doesnt command carl froch money unless his name is andre ward..

froch would probably be a better fight dirrel could actually handle the speed and land some shots of his own, though i'd like to see froch simply to watch him continue his run of the roughest opponents in boxing but i do think dirrell has a better chance. he's very talented. i still think he loses by knockout, but he's fast enough to actually compete for afew rounds froch will get whitewashed by bute, but he's not goign to shy away the first time he tastes the power or get dropped andre dirrell would keep you on the edge of your seat because of the potential to get his chin broken

froch...he's earned it yes panda feels dirrell beat froch in the super six but he's done jack sh1t since while froch has improved with each fight

don't care the 2 fights are good fights I agree both are good fights but Showtime being so against Froch Bute doesn't make any sense.

dirrell is a free agent now which means he's gonna hang around fighting bums until a baldomir type scores an upset over a top fighter then he will pounce on him and claim supremacy. "i beat baldomir type guy who beat elite guy therefore i am better" works every time.

Either way, Bute loses.

don't care the 2 fights are good fights

dirrell all the way he beat froch and everyone knows it and he would outbox bute all night

Froch......
