It was the type of fight that brings new people to the sport. A modern classic. Spectacle and excitement and proving the naysayers wrong. From a British point of view, absolutely top drawer. Legend.

If it was a fairly close fight then I think his people would be champing at the bit to take a rematch. However, if they see it like I do, that is Bute would get battered in front of his home crowd in a similar fashion, then I would look at all other options before committing to a rematch.
How many times has Froch been champion now? He keeps losing it then winning a world title back.
Is this the third or fourth time? He's carving himself into legendry status for sure, against many, many doubters.
He has such an odd looking technique and will lose against any pure boxers every time, but anyone who wants to have a war, he'll give them one hell of a fight.
The problem with Froch vs Kessler is that they are both very similar. It's always going to be a close, but brilliant scrap. I couldn't split them last time, so many rounds where they beat each other up equally, it was just a matter of opinion. I've watched that fight so many times now and each time I just cannot decide who to give rounds too.
I'd love to see Froch vs Martinez. Froch could drop weight easy, he looked a weight class lower than Bute I thought tonight. So much so, when they walked to the ring and then when they started the fight, I was worried he would get bullied.
I'd happily watch Bute vs Froch 2, in Canada. If its anything like this one, I'd be very happy.
For the first 2 and a half rounds, it was a brilliant scrap. The whole fight was brilliant, but in the early rounds they were both landing and blocking with they faces.
Not always. From a British point of view it was a classic performance and in the wider international Boxing sense it was a perfectly executed example of what makes this noble art so exciting, visceral and unpredictable. Classics do not have to be perfectly matched 12 round tit for tat wars. Some times one sided beat downs are worthy of the title.
I agree with Greenbeanz. A classic can also be an underdog upsetting the odds and smashing their opponent up. Calzaghe/Lazy will always be a classic in that regard. This one should be considered one too. It was intense, exciting and had everyone on their feet. That's a classic.
