HE'S FUCKING WORTHLESS CARL !!!

No, but Bute is still a good fighter, just goes to show his level of competition made him look even better than he is. Also needs to learn how to properly clinch.
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.

I think Froch has very good footwork and is obviously more than just a brawler as he has been portaid in the past and maybe I will have to watch the fight again but Bute to me didnt even attempt to do much. I think Carl tried to put alot of 'thud' into everyone of his punches and for somone to stand there and not do much to avoid them as Bute did was just asking for trouble.
I dont think he performed any differently tonight than he has in any of his other fights...
