Can he improve, or change things up, in order to get a win? Will a rabid home crowd help?
Or is Froch always going to be a bad matchup for him no matter what?
That first fight was fixed. How do you schedule a 2 fight deal and have the favorite win the first? That would make the 2nd fight pointless. Now that Froch "won" the first fight it makes the 2nd fight interesting. Bute looked like he was sticking his chin out and daring Froch to knock him out.
Of course it was brainiac. bute planned on getting ktfo to keep up appearances to make the second fight more entertaining. :lol1:
Froch is damn tough mentally and now he knows he can ruin Bute he will always have that advantage and Bute I think will crumble again to Froch and start having doubts in the ring.
He could outbox Froch but Carl would be a dumb ass to do anything other then just steam straight into Bute and rough him up and take away his confidence, a boxing match would be silly
no bute is over hyped garbage. canada sucks and has no good fighters so when they have one that looks even close to C level they get all excited. Bute was fighting cab drivers in canada while the super six was going on. He lost to a shop worn froch. Froch took wear and tear fighting real tough fights while Bute was sitting on the side lines fighting janitors and mail clerks hoping froch would be faded enough for him to win a controversial decision over but Froch knocked his garbage ass out like I expected.
Just to play devil's advocate:
Keep in mind that Bute has now seen what Froch brings to the table. He'll have a better idea of what to expect.
Maybe he'll box more this time instead of trying to make Froch feel his power.
dodgerjess, that is one of the most rediculous posts I've seen on NSB, and that says alot. In todays boxing world an undefeated record gives you major earning power. No way in hell Bute gives up that earning power for a Froch rematch. As for the post, I saw nothing in the first fight that makes me believe Bute can handle the power and pressure Froch brings. To beat Froch, you need good hand speed, good defence, and sound boxing fundamentals. You know the things Ward has an abundance of and Bute has little

Are you serious??!!
Did you watch the first fight? If you really watched the first fight CLOSELY, you wouldn't have this poll.
Watch the rd before the actual stoppage. Bute at the end of the round looked like a lost boy who got bullied by another school kid and had his lunch taken away from him. He AIN'T gonna recover from that. Froch ate Bute's punch....had no effect whatsoever on him.
1st fight was fixed.

I think he can, Froch won't be as fired up and Bute will have that revenge attitude.
It all comes down to how each of them performs on that night and on the preparation
