You clearly did not see Bute“s eyes and he could barely stand on his legs , no way was he able to continue, and he got all the help he ever could ask for.

Bute is the most overated champion in the division. I cant forsee him ever facing someone like Froch or Kessler who would tap that chin.

Bazlsay will sit in Germany protecting his bauble for eternity now.
I don't know how many times I have said this already. By the IBF rules, the fight was over as soon as Bute's gloves cleared the canvas, it doesn't matter whether or not he was able to continue. You can argue the fight should've been stopped prior to the KD or that Bute was allowed to hold and foul all night, but the end result went according to the letter of the law.

I am not a Bute fan for the record, but he would destroy Froch.
