Carl Froch vs. Lucian Bute

Carl Froch 167.7lbs vs. Lucian Bute 167.1lbs







May 26
At Nottingham, England (Epix and EpixHD.com): Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch, 12 rounds, for Bute's IBF super middleweight title

I am not sure what time this will be on in America, the card starts at 10pm UK time.

Bute is creepy

Can't wait for this.

I am pumped too.

I am leaning heavily towards Bute, I see his body shots breaking Carl down for a stoppage. Carl is a tough sob though so I wouldn't be shocked if he took Bute to the distance.

I just hope there won't be any dodgy scorecards given it's in Nottingham.

Will the Bute-Froch fight be at 6pm ET or is that when the card starts?

At 5:30 pm ET, Epix has a half hour preview show. At 6 pm the fight telecast starts. We have an hour or undercard stuff and analysis and features. The main is supposed to go at 7 pm ET, which is midnight here in Nottingham. That's the sked.

HOLY SHIT FROCH FUCKING DOMINATED.

Froch straight up obliterated Bute.

I always thought Bute was chinny..this more than proves it.

Like to see Froch fight Kessler in a rematch.

Bute career is kind of ruined..I guess he could fight AA or Stieglitz to salvage something...

I'd love to see Froch avenge that loss to Kessler in Nottingham, he went to Denmark and lost a close decision in a WAR. I only had Carl losing by two rounds in that fight.

There's a rematch clause for this fight to now go to Canada, I'd be amazed if Bute's team activate it.

FUCK

i missed it. How could i forget?

Froch is bad news for him...Bute should focus on winning the WBO belt and fighting the rest of his career back in Canada..


Kessler, Ward, Froch, Dirrel bros all beat Bute.

AA is pick em.

He would beat that bum Stieglitz

summary

Bute just couldn't handle the power and aggression of Froch...every time Carl landed it hurt Bute...4th and 5th rounds Carl was just unloading on Bute. The ref saved Bute's life who was out on his feet in the 5th.

Bute looked good for some parts and landed some good counter punches early, but Froch didn't even flinch. Lucian is great boxer with a bellow average chin.

I bet Showtime wishes they picked this fight up so they werent stuck with the task of figuring out what to do with a debunked Lucian Bute. Also it could have served to pump up Froch for a potential rematch with Kessler, which needs to happen after their first battle.

Showtime and HBO are complete morons for turning down that fight.

Last night did prove however that Andre Ward is without a doubt the P4P king in waiting.

ahahha ya gotta love hearing people chant BOOO-TAY BOOO-TAY BOO-TAY!

man Froch just owned him, theory, fighting some of the best 168 pounders in the world served Froch well. Froch was overextending at times and walking into left hands but he really does have a good chin.

there goes all of Butes hype , he shouldn't get any credit for not being in the tournament

didn't prove anything about andre ward, he wasn't in the ring. it was certainly an impressive performance though, i was expecting a much closer fight than that.

it has to be froch/kessler 2 now, either that or move up for a fight with cleverly.

Carl's obliteration of Bute just goes to show how talented Ward is, he handled Froch with ease.

styles make fights, as you know ali. i presume that's why you weren't bigging up pacquiao for beating the shit out of cotto after mayweather did just about enough to keep his nose a few rounds ahead against the same opponent. if ward fought bute, i doubt we'd see a performance as devastating as the one froch produced, but that wouldn't make froch the better fighter now would it?

people only say these things when it supports their own p4p list
