Bute's Trainer Discusses The Froch Loss, Rematch, More - Boxing News

I dont think Bute would want anymore of Froch. I was surprised that Bute couldnt handle the pressure, I thought he would have boxed a lot more but he just couldnt get into a flow at all. I was surprised how quick Froch was to start the fight and thats why he won. I wish he could have started like that against Ward and the fight would have been different. I think if Froch can beat Kessler then one day he could have one more go at Ward. We will see though.

I dont know where Bute goes from this, this really would have taken away his confidence. I hope he can bounce back, that would be a tough one though to bounce back from. He got punished.

I agree , Bute just didnt do anything in the fight, i was expecting a lot more from him, but soon as Froch landed flush Bute was in trouble and looking to hold.Froch fought the perfect fightin taking it to Bute from the of and he could not take the pressure put on him. This was a great chance for Bute to move up to REAL world class, but fell way short against the first real danger he has faced in his career. Im not sure how badly this defeat will affect him mentally, because he was totally destroyed in there, maybe a fight with a plodding Abraham would be his next choice of opponent, because i cant see him taking the rematch with Froch, even in Montreal.
