If Bute loses to Grachev in November ...

[Bossy]

Is there even a point to having a rematch with Froch in March?


I think he and his team selected a pretty tough opponent and if he loses again, would there even really be a point to him fighting Froch again?

Boxrec has it listed for the NABF LH title. I don't see why Bute would move up to 175 for one fight, when he plans on fighting Froch for the IBF SMF belt in the spring.

No.

I don't really care for the rematch anyway the guy got dominated from start to finish, I seen nothing to lead me to suggest he beats Froch or is even competitive in a rematch.

I won't be surprised if the upset king Grachev stops the robotic Bute either.

If he loses to Grachev then he's in serious trouble.

Grachev pretty much sucks, he's determined and has alright power though.

Grachev seems tough, but if Bute gets KOd, I think he's going to screw himself over. I would want to see him more competitive if he was to fight Froch again. This just seems like a bad idea to me.
