Bute wants the rematch

[Tam Seddon]

I hope Bute' team advice him to not go through with it. They seemed pretty certain they weren't looking for a rematch straight away and rightfully so, he got badly knocked out. Why would Bute want another beat down? This time in his hometown? It would ruin him even more if he went for a rematch because Froch would destroy him again.

It depends really. Froch strikes me as the kind of guy that would give Bute a rematch regardless of the contractual element involved because Bute went to Nottingham to fight Froch, even though he was the champion. I have a feel Froch would respect that. If Bute feels something was off in that fight that he can fix and put things right, I don't see why not. What else should he do? Go back to Quebec and beat average guys for another five years? What will that do for him? Unless Froch would agree to a Bute fight after the Kessler fight, he may not get another shot at a title, with as much money on the line, again. Even if Froch were heavily favored, the fight would garner a lot of interest, and Bute sells out stadiums in Montreal against much lesser men than Froch.

Obviously it would be a great fight and it would be a true test of character for Bute to actually want a rematch after that painful loss. If he wants it and thinks he can avenge the loss then fair enough, Froch has to keep to his word on the rematch. I wouldn't mind seeing it either because I do think Bute would put on a better peformance in Canada.

I personally as a Froch fan would prefer the Kessler fight in the uk, as Froch needs to attempt to avenge that loss. It would no doubt be one of the best rematches to be made in the whole sport right now IMO. We will have to see though.
