Froch could have got disqualified by the prat Hearns running into the ring
I gota say I always thought bute belonged with the top dogs and thought he'd take froch, but holy shit ...just wow great performance by froch and seriously can most of us have actually been this wroooooooooong about bute, holy shit every punch that landed had him dazed
Time for Froch to beat Kesler (again).
Stunning stuff from Froch, he was landing big bombs from round 3 onwards, and Bute was all over the shop. Best start to a fight from Froch I've seen for ages.
Epic stuff.
Well thank god this wasn't sanctioned by the texas comission lolQuote:

Me too. Froch is probably my favourite fighter, but I though Bute was going to stop him tonight. Nice to see him absolutely dominate.Quote:

Froch looked pretty good. He reminds me of some of those old time fighters you see that seem to do everything wrong, but do it that way all the time and make it work for them. Smart guy, I think. He kept making that move, behind his right hand, where he'd bring his left foot up- take a southpaw stance himself- and land his left.
If that would have happened it'd have been an absolute disgrace. But fair point, Hearns was a complete prat on that one.Quote:

Did Froch win by ko ? Anyone call it a blowout, or solid beat down?
Didn't see shate of it on stream or tv
I remember reading/hearing about Bute's camp talking about him having a toe infection or something in the lead up to the fight.Quote:

Did the ref have a bet on Bute... seemed to give him alot of chances and I swear that 3rd round seemed to end alot quicker than 3 minutes. :-\
WELL DONE FROCH
I have no idea, I don't watch much boxing to be honest.Quote:

I think that the Froch was the last time I saw Kesler too. He's older now though and I believe he's had a number of injuries lately.
fast good boxer very hard solid chinQuote:

I don't think Froch is fast, he just, usually, does a very good job of places his shots.Quote:

Glad Froch won it. All he does is stick his head in and flat out fight. Respectable spirit that!
I guess the hands down head tucked in defense should be reserved for people with superb reflexes or iron chin, which I guess tonight we learned bute has neither....I definitely didn't see this happening, butes opposition hasn't been great but he had some ok names on there and made it look easy for the most paer, just wow and great performance by froch
Bute was showing some southpaw slick head movement and a glimpse of the left hand but Froch was so damned determined to impose himself with right hands that would make Jim Lampley loose his voice, he just took over the fight from round 3 buzzing Bute almost at will, Bute was all over the place from round 4 and just out on his feet in the 5th. Cracking fight ,so proud of Froch!!Quote:

What a performance from the Cobra.
He completely outclassed Bute.
I knew his aggression, toughness and workrate would cause Bute problems but no way did i see him being able to get to Bute so early in the fight. It was clear after the first couple of rounds that Froch's power was bothering Bute.
Bute's defense moreso than his chin was to blame. He took alot of hard shots and was able to weather the storm for the most part but Froch could literally not miss with his combinations and as rounds go on, you cannot afford to take shots like that from a puncher like Froch, simple as that.
Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.
Almost spoilt by an inept reff
Does that count as a hometown decision then ?
Haha nah counts as froch provin me wrong for the bazillionth time...Quote:
