I don't think butes chin is bad and is good enough to be an elite fighter I mean its not like froch landed one and bute was gone, he ate some solid punches over five rounds. He needs to adjust his style tho to not take so many, and to adjust when someone is just walking thru his like froch did...
That pretty much nail is. Froch deserves full credit for the win but Bute really lost the plot. He even looked weird for the ring walk and completely overwhelmed by the moment and the boxing crazy Brits. That is his biggest problem imo and if he hopes to regain lost glory then its imperative that he learns to cope with fighting outside Quebec. No way did they train to fight Carl in a phone booth. Froch owns that land and yet that's exactly what he did. I just hope he learned something from it like a true champion should.
