Lucian Bute vs. Carl Froch Saturday fight thread

[ICB]

Time for Froch to beat Kesler (again).

I'll admit i was way wrong but Froch was still beaten by Kessler, quite convincingly IMO although it was somewhat close. Also lets not forget Froch's own gift vs Dirrell, but good performance from Froch he's made Britain very proud.

IMO he lost to Dirrell and Ward quite clearly, but I think he edged Kesler 7-5. It was a close fight though.

I think he hammers Kesler in a rematch though.

Don't think i've watched Kessler since the Froch fight, how is he looking lately ? Froch was too cautious vs Kessler which is why i think he lost, if he starts like this though he could well revenge that loss.

I have no idea, I don't watch much boxing to be honest.

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.

Froch looked better then I can ever recall seeing him look, he was in control almost the entire fight. His game plan must have been to go after Bute who had no answer for it. By the end of the 3rd round, the fight was just about over, by the 5th round Bute was toast.

Great performance by Froch, and another Super-middleweight title. Maybe that sack of shit, the SOG, will man up and give Carl a rematch in the UK. If Froch fights the way he did tonight, I like his chances against Ward in part II.

BTW, good job by Carl of proving all us "experts" who picked Bute (like me) wrong, you never can tell what's in a man's heart, or the fight that's left in the dog.

Bute was really looking for that counter left hand, and i thought early that he might land it, the way Froch was coming in. Got it twice at the end of the first, but nothing else. He really didn't seem to have an answer for a guy that came to win, brought the fight to him, and didn't let him pick his spots.

Kess fought last weekend and got kded by green in first or second round but then turned it in gear and got him out in four or five candidate for ko of year imo, looked good and definitely would like to see kess and froch rematch

go an do some lengths

[Saddo]

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

[Spicoli]

Glad Froch won it. All he does is stick his head in and flat out fight. Respectable spirit that!

[Tam Seddon]

Bring on Kessler IMO

I'd be tempted to give both round three and four as 10-8's.

Round 3 for sure. Froch dominated the fight. It was almost too easy.

Bute showed himself up in a very bad way. He was supposed to be good with all these people predicting him to win.

He was flatout Lacy'd.
