    Big News About May 5th!!!

    Carl Froch is back.

    In Nottingham against a "top 10 opponent".

    Looks like it'll be a rare tune-up for Froch. With a Kessler rematch likely in the summer.

    I guess Bute backed out of the two fight deal.

      TO be fair, Bute didn't back out, Showtime did because they want an American to fight him

      But War Froch

          Doesnt really make any sense. Hes been fighting bums but now they reject Froch?

          I heard Bute didn't want to sign for the rematch i.e leaving Canada

            I think their trying to force a Bute-Ward match as Bute's showtime contract runs out after his next fight.

            seems ****** to me though as Froch-Bute would of been a decent scrap.

              Wow, I don't think Froch has fought a tuneup in three or four years or something.

                COBRA BACK IN THE RING!

                Carl Froch represents everything that is right in boxing! A man with a great heart, willing to fight everybody, everywhere. Plus he's damn cool outside the ring.

                  Froch is gonna get beat by Bute-I don't see Froch being able to deal with Bute's movement.

                    Looking at the ratings, there aren't many names who make me think "That wouldn't be too dangerous a fight, but it'd still be interesting". Ornelas maybe. I wouldn't mind seeing him face someone like Edison Miranda.

                    Neither of those two are top 10 though.
