Bute wants the rematch

[erics44]

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.

exactly

i think bute has to take the fight or he has a long road back

If he loses again to froch but this time puts up a much better performance then he will be more of a draw than he is now

maybe even if he takes the fight and loses the same way his stock will have risen slightly on the bottle factor

and there is a chance he can win, and he will be right back to where he was

i see a rematch as his only real option

Bute should take on Martinez


or maybe Pavlik to boost his confidence.


before Froch, Bute was considered by many as the best 168 out there. now Ward, Dirrell, Abraham, Kessler have a good shot in beating him if we go by the forum's collected pulse.

no, before Froch Bute was considered the 2nd best at 168, the best being Ward who had already beaten the likes of Froch, Abraham, and Kessler, so the truth is Ward is STILL #1 at 168
