I hope it wasnt a Jeff lacy type loss (although the comparisons are there) and that Bute can come back. The guys got skills, problem for Bute last night is that Carl Froch didnt care about skills, he was steamrollering Bute, what Bute did or wanted to do in reply was a mute point.
Totally on the ball.

Froch looked like he meant business tonight. No messing around being faux slick. Bute hit him and Froch responded with fury. He hasn't fought with that intensity for a long time. It was there in spurts against Kessler, a bit at the end of Ward. But this time from the off and ripping apart a champion many people had time for. It was brutal.
