Comments Thread For: Team Froch: Bute Has Been Hurt, Down and Knocked Out
Lucian Bute has been warned he will be entering a "bear pit" when he defends his IBF super-middleweight title against Carl Froch in the challenger's Nottingham hometown.
I can't wait for this fight. I can't believe Bute is giving him home advantage. Bute has to have something up his sleeve. I wonder where the judges are from? "Things that make you go hhmmm"
He needs to go into pressure mode ala the Dirrell fight.
If he boxes like the Ward fight he won't stand a chance.
Pressure, Pressure, Pressure.
yeah tough fight for froch! But he will be motivated as hell fighting in his hometown..
Like we always say SMART PRESSURE! Thats what froch needs but its easier said than done against guys like bute and ward! Froch needs to use his jab consistently to back bute up and if needed to box on the backfoot!
Use the jab just to keep bute busy! and inbetween froch has to flurry fast with punches and get out! I think he can have sucsess with that and the judges will favor him
It's been shown before that Bute can have trouble with pressure (Andrade I), and be stopped late... let's be real, he got stopped in that first fight. Froch has a decent punch and could do something similar if he keeps the pressure on all night like the Taylor fight.
However, Bute has also shown he can stop an iron chinned opponent in Andrade, in their second fight, and Froch did get dropped pretty hard by Taylor early.
