Not sure if this has been mentioned but I think I will be criticized for stating the obvious, We all remember how Andre Dirrell was robbed in Nottingham, The same thing will happen with Bute, Bute will probably try to knock Froch out but Froch will be in survival mode for 12 rounds knowing that will simply needs to survive for 12 rounds to get the decision.
Do you agree that Bute will get robbed?
Ref and judges seem to be fair choices imo.
Yank ref, yank judge, and Froch and Bute have a judge each.
So if Bute gets robbed, its Americas fault
Bute got knocked out before and recieved a W, so if he loses unfairly here its just Karma.What you say is true, but Bute didn't do it, the referee did. Shouldn't the Karma come down on him and not Bute? I think Bute was ashamed that the referee saved him and did the right thing by giving Andrade a rematch. Bute is enough of a sportsman to come to Froch's home so I don't think he deserves bad Karma if such a thing exists.
Bute is going to have to fight like he is the Challenger and not the Champion
an impressive win for Bute makes the Bute vs Ward fight that much bigger and if Ward can somehow beat Dawson would make that fight...EVEN BIGGER!

froch-bute is one of those fights where I wont bet cause I believe Bute might get robbed. same with pac vs bradley: I will completely stay out of it even though I think bradley might win a decision. but I think the risk of bradley getting robbed is way too high.
Dirrell clearly beat Froch in Nottingham and got also robbed, so....
I think this fight will be totally one sided as Bute is extremely hard to hit, has impeccable speed and arguably the best body shots in the sport. I like Froch but I really think he's limited. He's already been saved once with the gift decision against Direll but he's certainly not going to get another, Bute will easily outwork him and there's a real chance he can get a KO over Froch
"i see him as a calzaghe with power"
nuff said
... if i said "with power" , did i mean someone slaps?...ofcourse not!
you just lack understanding and i forgive you...
:pat:
you should slap yourself in the face son for comparing those 2
Lucian Bute doesn't slap
why dont you let me slap you instaed?...when did i say bute slaps?
the comparison i made is due to them having very good boxing skills and i said only bute has power..
so i implied in my post that bute does'nt slap.. idiot!

Survival mode :lol1:

So if Bute gets robbed, its Americas faultAfter reading this, it sounds like a fair fight to me and the better man should get the win.

Do you agree that Bute will get robbed?I thought Froch won the Dirrell fight by a point or two. Dirrell did way to much running and holding to win that fight in my opinion. One judge gave the fight to Dirrell 114to113 and the other two judges scored it 115to112 for Froch so the scorecards don't seem that unfair to me. I don't know how many of the three judges are British. I think Bute's team probably made sure at least two of the judges are neutral. I am sure the scoring will faver Froch on close or even rounds but I don't think they will give rounds to Froch that Bute clearly won. I expect Bute to clearly win most of the rounds and get the decision or score a KO. I voted no. However if Bute only beats him by a small amount they will probably give the fight to Froch. I think Bute wins by a wide margin and has his hand raised. I don't think Froch would just try to survive and get a gift from the judges. He is a fighter and he will try his best to win.
I would say England is one of the better country's for a foreign fighter to come to.
Tell that to Barrera. Headbutte din round 1 then stopped on cuts. England is just as dogdgy as anywhere else. Bute knows if its close and goes 12 he can rely on getting his belts back in the return in Canada. He just has to stay on his feet ( or not as was teh case with Aandrade and they still gave it him )
I reckon neither guy can stop the other but Butes superior boxing will be clear cut enough even away from home.
Wrong on both counts
No.......
Are you suggesting that England is bad for robbing fighters on the scorecards? because that is simply false, in fact with all the robberies happening in boxing at the minute I would say England is one of the better country's for a foreign fighter to come to.
Froch vs Dirrell was a close fight im sick of explaining this to ignorants, close fights are not robbery's and Dirrells antics throughout that fight hampered his chance of victory no end. You don't win a title fighting a champion in his back yard by constantly spoiling, intentionally falling to the canvas and complaining to the referee throughout the contest he stank the place out.
