Comments Thread For: Froch: Bute Has Fought Mostly Hand Picked Opponents

Froch: Bute Has Fought Mostly Hand Picked Opponents! Of course he did, and it look a bit like he hand picked Froch too.

Yeah, three foreign judges, none Americans. Two Europeans. One Mexican who gave it to Dirrell. One Italian and the other one Belgium. Europeans would prefer to give it to the European. Americans are hated all around the world. European nations don't feel that way about one another and that very same Belgian judge scored the Witter fight to Bradley. Dirrell turned the fight into a farce and the judges clearly weren't impressed.

If he does anything less than that, he won't get the W. But I don't see him stopping Froch. I see him winning in my eyes, but not the judges. What makes u think he cant stop froch? Taylor hurt Froch real bad but didnt want to waste hes energy trying to finish froch thinking that he wont have energy for the later rounds. Kessler hurt Froch and i thought johnson and ward hurt froch to the body and head too..Bute hits way harder than all these guys and he doesnt waste hes punches hes very accurate specially those fast counter to the head or Body. Froch is very very very open when he comes lunging in trying to brawl but Bute is gona make him miss and comes right back with that counter everytime.Froch cant take one hard shot after another without getting hurt. Froch is not invincible he can b hurt but he fought no one that who can really finish off a opponent like Bute. i think Froch will hang in there with him since the guy is so tough but he aint taking all those hard shots one after another...I see Lucian Bute stopping him before 9 or 10 rounds...but u r right the only way Bute wins this is by KO and believe me the way froch fights is made to order for Bute and this is the style that gives Froch problems a fast slick boxer/counter puncher.styles make fights and this style dont favor froch at all...But i expect the best Froch that night so gona b good while it lasts..

Dirrell didn't get the nod over Froch, Bute won't either. However IMO, no matter where this fight is at, I see Froch winning.

It always annoys me when people complain about people hand picking their opponents. This is a business and there's nothing cool about having someone control your whole career and pick your opponents for you and then end up with no money. Boxing is a very dangerous and unforgiving sport so if you can control your career, that's what you should do. Everyone should aspire to do that. Yes Bute has faced limited opposition but his resume and Froch's resume really aren't that far apart at all. Yes he's faced better fighters overall but he has only beaten like 5 top level opponents and lost to two of them (some would say three). Bute has faced a lower level of competition but he has pretty much dominated everyone that he has ever fought. Froch should be grateful that he is getting such a great opportunity in his hometown straight after getting completely dominated and schooled by Ward. I think Froch is underestimating Bute, and I have always found the guy to be overrated, so I am expecting an impressive performance by the Romanian. I just think he's a better all around boxer. I hope Froch will put up a good show and make it competitive but I don't think his chance in this fight is as good as some people are trying to make me believe.

Three foreign judges. Maybe they just weren't impressed by Dirrell's diving and refusal to engage? Yeah, three foreign judges, none Americans. Two Europeans. One Mexican who gave it to Dirrell.

BUTE gona KO froch no two words about it! the only way Froch does good is if he tries to box rather than press BUTE. but even then Bute is the better Boxer of the two and he has one thing froch doesnt have? SPEED. BUTE has very very Quick hands and those Hands got Dynamite in them..BUTE is the better Body Puncher of the two and that solarplex Body shot is just Nasty! Froch Will do hes best as usual the guy is a True Champion he comes to damn fight everytime! but i got BUTE ending this anytime in the middle rounds either to the Body or the Head. If he does anything less than that, he won't get the W. But I don't see him stopping Froch. I see him winning in my eyes, but not the judges.

Bute needs the KO to win, remember the Dirrell robbery..... Three foreign judges. Maybe they just weren't impressed by Dirrell's diving and refusal to engage?

froch is right we're about to see if bute is the real deal or not ... i'm inclined to think he is

He's right. But he's fighting Froch on his home turf and you gotta respect that.

I see Bute targeting Froch's body and doing some serious damage. A Bute TKO is highly possible imo. Froch has shown he doesn't take too well to the body in fights against Kessler, Johnson and Ward. I really hope for a high quality battle. Yes not to take nothing away from froch the guy has fought the best and is a great fighter he has earned my respect over these years cuz he has shown what hes made of and proved that he is a very tough task for anyone and is one of the best british fighters period. Bute BUTE got every advantage over him and yes BUTE gona target that Body alot but since froch is not that good of a defencive fighter hes gona get hit to the head alot as well. i do see a KO/TKO for BUTE but a KO i see the most..

Lol. As close to boxing-blasphemy as you are going to get. Sometimes i wonder why i respond to these posters.

You seriously just compared SRL's performance against Hagler, to Dirrell's against Froch?? Seriously? Lol. As close to boxing-blasphemy as you are going to get.

So when Sugar Ray Leonard used a similiar gameplan against Hagler he was just running and hugging? Punches in spurts, jabbing, and utilizing the ring, it's called smart boxing. It's what mobile boxers do against sluggers like Froch. It worked. If that fight wasn't in the UK, Dirrell would have got the decision.

Terrible example most people believe Haglar won the fight and got robbed. Dirrell didn't fight like Leonard either I suggest you watch the Froch vs Dirrell fight. You need to realize even if you land more ineffective pity pat punches than your opponent, the frequent holding the running the intentional falling to the floor the constant moaning to the referee, all these things are going to effect scoring and lose you rounds that you could have won should you have had the balls to take a step forward just once.

Leonard wasnt flipflopping up and down and clnching Hagler's nuts. Dirrell was extremely negative and acted like a deer in the headlight.

Dirrell ran *****ed and hugged all night not no robbery stop being silly. So when Sugar Ray Leonard used a similiar gameplan against Hagler he was just running and hugging?

Dirrell was robbed. Froch got outboxed. Dirrell peppered Froch with jabs and counters all night. Dirrell ran *****ed and hugged all night not no robbery stop being silly.
