Comments Thread For: Hearn: Froch's Obligation is To Bute, Not Stevenson!

[chav]

Froch is a confidence fighter and unless Mack slaughters him silly he will have all the confidence in the world to give Bute a beating....the question is, will Bute have the confidence in himself when faced opposite the man who turned his world and boxing record upside down?

Froch can fight away from home under pressure, Bute will never have had to face these demons at home before, it should be interesting, but im backing Froch as i've bet against him too many times and i've learnt my lessons

Maybe they could meet at LHW?

I had always hoped Froch would go up and challenge Cleverly.

Froch has shown no inclination towards moving up and has all but ruled it out.

Perhaps he may feel his chin gets cracked by the heavier shots at LH.

Maybe, but Froch is a natural SMW not sure why he would want to move up to LHW nothing to prove and he's nearing end of his career.

With regards to Cleverly, that name in the same sentance as Froch just doesnt sound right, that's man v boy.

Infact Cleverly since becoming champ, (without actualy fighting a champ to earn it) not his fault I know but he has gone downhill in opposition since then and almost forgotten, I used to enjoy watching him, now I couldnt careless.

Bute might have gotten one solid round in, but even that's debatable. Domination was the theme of this fight. Every time Bute landed anything near a decent punch Froch came back and hurt Bute. It was a dominant victory there is no other way to describe it.

The rematch wouldn't even be talked about if it wasn't for the clause it was a one sided beat down.

This.

Froch walks around at 170lbs, can't see him moving anywhere

I just see the rematch going exactly the same way as the first fight, regardless of where its held.

Yeah, me too. The bottom line is Bute couldn't take Froch's power, that isn't going to change just because the fight is in Canada.

Froch has said he'd consider rematching Bute at LHW or at a catch weight. But Bute is the only person he'd move up for

Nothing to prove but 2x weight champion would sound very nice and a very winnable fight too. Although the chances of the fight actually being made aren't too great.

After Bute & Kessler there isn't really anyone at 168 but Froch may be done by that time. I can see him ending his career in a fight against an up 'n' comer like George Groves.

I wouldn't be surprised if Grachev beats Bute.
