khan peterson is off...

[Dave's Bitch]

Damn DB u can't hold a man to drunken bravery :D.... But yes I will go against public opinion and say that Froch wins by points .. After a total war ...

I would not say public opinion is all for Bute.There are a whole of people who are backing froch on the experience factor alone.Add in all his fights being down to the wire,life or death and the odd's look to swing in his favour.

I will say Bute by SD

khan peterson is off...

It was pretty much a given the result of the fight anyway

[vandeleur]

the peterson story gets more bizzare the more that comes out, it sounds like he was using synthetic testosterone before the first fight .....sounds like khan gets his belt back but am sure he would rather have had the chance to get it in the ring

[vandeleur]

oh when i said public opinion i was meaning a higher authority ...army opinion

It's a real shame about Peterson - I always liked that guy, he'd fight anyone.

I expect we'll get Khan vs 'TBA bum' for the belt now. Maybe not on 19/5, but pretty soon thereafter.

It's a shame for Khan: there were some promising guys in the 140 division who he could have proved himself against (Peterson, Alexander and Bradley) and he's avoided/not had the chance to fight any of 'em. Not acceptable, really.

That being said, assuming Pacman does a number on Bradley next month I assume we'll see Khan-Bradley by the end of the year. If Bradley beats Pacman (I almost laughed typing that) it's a different story....

Not giving Bradley a shot at all, huh?

[So this is love]

Ok guys, I have made up my mind my money will be on Bute...see ya later for further explanation, I know some of you express a little reserve on this matchup but I have a good feeling as the fight approach... more about this later ...

[binnie]

I'm looking forward to Froch-Bute, I'm just back-and-forth on the winner.

Not giving Bradley a shot at all, huh?

Not unless he's suddenly developed Pernell Whitaker-esque defense.............

I think Pac Man is going to have a much more difficult time with Bradley then people expect. Bradley has never lost a fight for good reason. I don't think he will win but i wouldn't be shocked at all to see a close fight.

And that is not an official pick by the way. LOL>

Look, let's think about this fight.

1) Bradley has never fought at 147lbs, so we don't know what he'll be like re: speed and sharpness. What we know, however, is that he has never possessed power, even at 140. So I doubt he's going to have the power to stop or even hurt Pacman at 147.

2) That means he's going to have to win on points. How on earth will he do this? Bradley has a good skill set, but he's a come forward fighter and won't be hard for Pacman to find. On workrate alone you'd expect Pacman to win the rounds on workrate alone.

The problem for Pacman here could come if a) Bradley manages to get insider - unlikely given that Hatton couldn't b) he uses his head (like normal) and opens up some significant cuts.

I just cannot see a scenario in which Bradley out boxes Pacman.
