Bute is showing a real champion mentality, going to fight a live opponent in their home country, as a champion. Should be a great fight!

[Gypsy John Fury]

Bute seems to have the perfect mindset here. I hope Froch wins though and look forward to seeing fight live at the FM Arena; can't wait.

Im shocked bute is traveling to the uk for this fight, he must be very confident he can win, better watch out though the officials are almost as bad there as they are in the states, he need to really win well or face the consequences especially if froch makes it a scrappy affair

This. We know Froch chin is granite. But Bute is a body puncher. Wear and tear from Froch combine with Bute body punching are going to make this a long night for Froch. Bute got this.

really want Froch to win this, but Bute is gonna beat him
Froch will remember Ward once he starts getting outboxed
he's not strong enough to KO Bute outright with 1 big punch
Bute's overrated, but Froch just isn't that good

[MrClutch85]

Bute better dominate Froch like Ward did because close fight Froch will get the decision
