[bradlee180]

I hyped Bute up to the moon to anyone who would listen. I said that he would have won the big 168lb tournement a few years back, and that the other guys were afraid of him. Boy was I wrong

I don't think you were wrong. At the time of the Super 6, Bute was one of the best, and I thought how lame that one of the very best Super-Middleweights is not in this Super-Middleweight tournament. Ultimately the tournament was a disaster cluster-f*<k anyway. Bute's obviously no longer what he was anymore, but many of those guys in the Super 6 are currently not the same anymore either.

I don't know what the problem is, Bute is finished in my opinion. It happens to every fighter. Froch ruined him, changed his mind about boxing, showed him the reality of boxing or just took him to a place he never wants to visit again.
Bute has always been a cautious fighter and there's nothing wrong with that, but now he is so cautious that he seems paralyzed and unable to let his hands go.
Bute could have beaten Pascal with no problem, all he had to do was let his hands go. I feel for the guy, he is probably kicking himself in the ass right now.
Maybe he can work through it.
