Comments Thread For: Froch: Bute Has Fought Mostly Hand Picked Opponents

[black.ink]

BUTE gona KO froch no two words about it! the only way Froch does good is if he tries to box rather than press BUTE. but even then Bute is the better Boxer of the two and he has one thing froch doesnt have? SPEED. BUTE has very very Quick hands and those Hands got Dynamite in them..BUTE is the better Body Puncher of the two and that solarplex Body shot is just Nasty! Froch Will do hes best as usual the guy is a True Champion he comes to damn fight everytime! but i got BUTE ending this anytime in the middle rounds either to the Body or the Head.

I see Bute targeting Froch's body and doing some serious damage. A Bute TKO is highly possible imo. Froch has shown he doesn't take too well to the body in fights against Kessler, Johnson and Ward.

I really hope for a high quality battle.

Yes not to take nothing away from froch the guy has fought the best and is a great fighter he has earned my respect over these years cuz he has shown what hes made of and proved that he is a very tough task for anyone and is one of the best british fighters period. Bute BUTE got every advantage over him and yes BUTE gona target that Body alot but since froch is not that good of a defencive fighter hes gona get hit to the head alot as well. i do see a KO/TKO for BUTE but a KO i see the most..

He's right. But he's fighting Froch on his home turf and you gotta respect that.

froch is right we're about to see if bute is the real deal or not ... i'm inclined to think he is

Bute needs the KO to win, remember the Dirrell robbery.....

Three foreign judges. Maybe they just weren't impressed by Dirrell's diving and refusal to engage?

If he does anything less than that, he won't get the W.

But I don't see him stopping Froch. I see him winning in my eyes, but not the judges.

Yeah, three foreign judges, none Americans. Two Europeans.

One Mexican who gave it to Dirrell.

One Italian and the other one Belgium. Europeans would prefer to give it to the European. Americans are hated all around the world.

It always annoys me when people complain about people hand picking their opponents. This is a business and there's nothing cool about having someone control your whole career and pick your opponents for you and then end up with no money. Boxing is a very dangerous and unforgiving sport so if you can control your career, that's what you should do. Everyone should aspire to do that. Yes Bute has faced limited opposition but his resume and Froch's resume really aren't that far apart at all. Yes he's faced better fighters overall but he has only beaten like 5 top level opponents and lost to two of them (some would say three).

Bute has faced a lower level of competition but he has pretty much dominated everyone that he has ever fought. Froch should be grateful that he is getting such a great opportunity in his hometown straight after getting completely dominated and schooled by Ward. I think Froch is underestimating Bute, and I have always found the guy to be overrated, so I am expecting an impressive performance by the Romanian. I just think he's a better all around boxer. I hope Froch will put up a good show and make it competitive but I don't think his chance in this fight is as good as some people are trying to make me believe.

Dirrell didn't get the nod over Froch, Bute won't either. However IMO, no matter where this fight is at, I see Froch winning.
