I'm not sold on Bute. His best win is against old man Johnson. Other then that his resume is filled with a who's who of NOBODIES. He really should of lost by KO against Andrade but he was in Montreal and the hometown ref Marlon Wright saved him by stopping while Bute was down and not able to get up and telling Andrade to go back to his corner even though Andrade was far away. Hometown cooking at its finest. If a brawler like Andrade can get to Bute then Froch who has some pretty good boxing skills can get to him. I'd take Froch by KO or TKO.

Bute's superior boxing ability, shorter punches, handspeed are all going to present the same problems Ward did for him and Bute is the hardest puncher at 168 imo. His timing and counterpunching is arguably even better than Ward's and Bute will make him miss and pay just like Ward.

Froch needs to make it an ugly fight against Bute, grind him down and take his legs away. The only true strength Bute has is his speed, u take that away and he'll be forced to stand and trade, and that's where Froch can do the most damage. I think he's gonna need to develop his inside game more. Froch's keys to victory: inside fighting, combination punching, aim for the body, and his stamina needs to be there for all 12 rds. He can't take any rounds off.

Berrio, Bika, Miranda all hit as hard (probably harder imo) than Froch and Zuniga and Johnson around the same and none were able to faze Bute at all. People expecting Bute to fall apart when Froch lands are going to be disappointed if they actually fight.
