He had no idea what to do when Froch didn't let him pick his pace and pick his spots. Didn't know how to move, how to turn his man, how to counter. I thought that, the one time he went to the body with the left, that Bute had something to work with, because Froch was inviting that punch. But Bute didn't look to get under Froch's right to throw it.
I've only seen froch once before, and tonight he struck me as a guy that is much more thoughtful than it seems at first. Watch the angle that he would use to throw the right as he came in, and how he's shift his feet to land the left after. He makes it look awkward but he was making some pretty slick moves.
