I thought it was a VERY winnable fight for Froch. I remember thinking there were times where Froch took too long a rest in between getting his shots off and that hurt him. I'll rewatch it and see if I still feel the same way. I disagree about it not being a close fight. It was close either way. I thought Froch won too though.
Froch rips the pampered Bute..
Froch Rips Lucian Bute: He's Not Up There With The Best! - Boxing News
I'm a big fan of Froch, but Bute is a terrible style match up for him. Bute is slick, can box, and has very good power. However, he is relatively untested. I think Bilbo and I were talking about a hypothetical fight between the two of them something like two years ago.
If Froch can be paid more to fight a rematch with Kessler, I understand fighting Kessler instead of Bute. However, I would rather see Froch fight Bute. In fact, out of all the style match-ups out there, Froch and Bute may be the most fun to watch.

I hope the newly-intensified banter is just to build up a fight between the two for next year.

im not saying it was frochs best fight and best performance
but watch it again for the first 6 rounds kessler (who is still a world class very experienced fighter) doesnt land a punch of any meaning
so for 6 rounds froch avoids getting hit, kes looks like he is coming forward and doing more work but he doesnt land
that couldnt really be described as a sloppy performance
then kes has a good 2 or 3 rounds and then the last 4 froch takes over again
maybe kes wins the 12th
