i will be covering this fight for the blog http://fightscorecollector.blogspot.com saturday night so remember and add your scores on the scene and i will add to the blog along with all the other scores i collect.
Regarding the fight , the scene just like most forums are pretty split on who they think will win the fight although in just about all of them Bute is the Favorite.
I think that Bute has all the questions to answer in this fight...he is away from home in a big fight for the 1st time and Froch is by far the best opponent he has faced.
Froch has beat and fought the much better opposition although many dont know how much he has left..too many hard fights.
Can i just say this...Arthur Abraham did what Bute has done....he stayed at home fighting decent although NOT elite fighters BUT when he eventually did fight the elite HE was found out...BIGTIME.
Froch to me has always been the favorite in this fight and i give Bute respect for taking this in Nottingham. Saying that though Froch is tested against the elite and Bute isnt thats why i think Froch will win on points around the 8-4 , 7-5 mark.
ps: cheers to JakeNDAbox for letting me do this on boxingscene
Bute KO 7
(body shot)
Bute ko 11
Bute by UD 9 rounds to 3 and possibly a knockdown or 2 from Bute body shots
Bute will completely outbox him and i think hurt him more then once to the body
I agree, except I'll give Carl a few more rounds. I say Bute by body shot in the 10th.
I predict many sad British people.
Bute to win. Iv'e been saying it for ages. That left hand laser is going to land on Froch's liver and his chin (uppercuts).
explain the Bute hype...please!!!...I NEVER saw Froch getting beat by that dude...just because he rematched Andrade and got him outta there doesn't erase the fact he got rolled over by him in the first fight and was so close to getting stopped by a fighter who's less capable than Froch...how did this guy fool yall?...and some of you are heavy hitters on here...yall know what the dealings be most of the time...suprised at you dudes lol
I'm predicting Bute to control the early exchanges banking early rounds, middle rounds close, and the last 2 or 3 rounds Frock takes over. I think it will go to the score cards where we will see a majority decision win for Bute prob something like 114-114 116-112 116-112.
There's no way Bute wins a close fight. To get those scores that you mentioned, Bute would have to dominate the entire fight. He's capable of doing that, but that's the only way, and even then I can see scores of like 115-113 for Bute if he dominates.
how are we going to watch this fight in US other then ****ty streams?
Not sure about you guys but in Canada its a $54.99 ppv if you can believe that ****.
Johnson picked Bute to win in 12 rounds. He also sparred with him for this fight.
And they being best friends have nothing to do with it. You seen how their friend ship got in the way or their bout.
FROCH 11 round tko
I wouldn't be surprised to see Froch win a close fight that Bute should have won. Happened with Andre Dirrell in the UK.
S**t, Ward dominated Froch in a neutral Jersey and should have won 118-110, and only won 115-113 on two cards for christ sake.
