Froch will have problems against Bute even in Nottingham
February 12th, 2012
By Scott Gilfoid: Carl Froch is now the mandatory challenger to IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute, and is hoping to fight him in Nottingham, England rather than in Montreal, Canada, where Bute fights. Froch and his promoter Eddie Hearn are hoping that Bute will agree to fight Froch on May 5th in Nottingham.
If Froch does get Bute to come to Nottingham, I still think the outcome will be the same. Bute is all wrong for Froch because of his hit and retreat style of fighting and Froch is just too slow to compete with a fighter like that. The guys that can handle Bute are talents like Andre and Anthony Dirrell.
They have the hand speed, the foot speed and the one punch knockout power to make Bute look silly when he tries to land and run. Maybe that’s why Bute wants nothing to do with either of those guys. He’d rather face the slow as molasses Froch rather than guys that have the speed and power to catch up to him and knock him out. Froch needs to let the Dirrells take care of Bute. Forget about luring him to Nottingham or going to Montreal to fight him there. Froch will just lose and end up miserable for it. He’s better off facing Librado Andrade or one of the other lower level contenders.

Seldon, you are right, let him be as he is…
You are dust in the wind, my friend; don’t ever generalize about a whole people – DACI- who has stand and fight with the barbarians thousand years ago for your peace…, (of mind, in your case)!
I also believe Bute will have trouble with Froch even in Canada.
I agree with you JOHN : Ward and Andrea Dirrell punchers !!! SUPER HILARIOUS
))
Bute does not land and run. He has the best knockout power of the smw division. It is Ward that is running from Bute right now…
To pretend that Ward and Dirrel have knockout power is absolutely hilarious!! Be serious!
Bute will demolish Carla Froch, and Carla’s career will be over. Go Bute Go !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Giligan , you’re funny! I like your humour.:)
Somone bet me money, cause I’m all in on Bute for this fight. 100% win home or away!
here he go again whit the Dirrell’s Sister…
Seriously no one can beat them … we should do a mega night
Anthony vs Vitali and Andre Vs Wladimir !!!!!!!!!
Double win for the Dirrell’s for sure!
Don’t drink and drive …just smoke and fly….
We will see if Bute is anywhere near the super six boys – Froch will win on points in UK then they will go to Canada and Froch will have to ko him – Dirrel was beaten fairly in UK so get over it Scott
Dirrel ran away from froch all night long. And Dirrell quit against abraham coz he knew a KO was coming. Hes a good fighter but nowhere near as good as his girlfriend scott says. Froch would also give Bute many problems. Froch-Bute will be an awesome fight
Haha hes off again! Dirrell was wrecked in the Froch fight, what were you watching seriously?? Lay of the herb dude!
Chump!
oooh surprise,surprise,more brit bashing from the clueless yank!!
@ Scott Gilfoid Bute have no problem to go to Nottingham for two reasons 1 – Bute really want a top 5 opponent in Froch is the only one left and that has not already InterBox refuse. 2 – They have the choice Bute almost 32 years he and his fans want their powers against the best
Nottingham has or will beat Montreal Bute Cobra!
Dirrell did not beat Froch by 5 rounds you bellend. Froch counteracted Dirrells spoiler tactics and won easily.
Ye, cos this article isn’t biased at all… Dirrell is good, but he definitely doesn’t have this KO power you’re banging on about. What about against Abraham where he just pretended to be KO and then cried cos he won by DQ?
Of course he will don’t be stupid. Carl fights better at home, just like bute. Wen bite sees no fans traveling he will nickel under Froch
lucian bute will be beaten
in the last two years he has fought
only one credible fighter
unbelivable
as for carl froch
he fought four of the best in the division
and lost to the best and also lost to
one of the best
lucian will get his bute kicked for sure
Talends like the Dirrell brothers? You have they fought with? They mean nothing to boxing.
Bute by ko early rounds
That’s funny I had dirrell losing by 8 rounds to froch and so did the judges which is all that matters
May 5th! thats 3 fights in one day! Praise the lord!!!!
