I just wish Froch would have fought like this against Ward.

Agreed. He looked like a deer in the headlights. I figured he would be the fresher of the two with Froch coming out of that tough tourney but he wasn't. He looked dazed and confused but even more perplexing is why he played along with Carls gameplan. I know its cliche but it just might be a style thing. This loss could well serve as a positive.

Lots of greats lost and bounced back with some being stopped in their first fight. To me its how one deals with adversity. I'm not prepared to give up on Bute and believe he will bounce back. He got caught early in the temple in rd 1 and never seemed to recover. He looked weak.
