Bute just underestimated him. He went in thinking he could just one punch Froch which was a huge mistake. Bute is going to make this rematch look like Duran/Leonard 2

![]() Honest opinion or wishful thinking? I mean, to my eyes and most others' it looked very much like a case of one guy just having the other's #. It isn't like Khan vs. Garcia where you can point to Khan having clearly boxed his head off for a couple of rounds before getting hurt. (and even there, I don't favor a reversal of fortune in the rematch over a repeat) |

Did you expect Grachev to expose Sillakh? Did you expect Bute to get punked by Froch? Anyway, I never wager my avatar, even on a sure thing. Never have and never will. |

Bute, OTOH, was trying to be Froch's best buddy. He showed ZERO aggression or confidence in any of the leadups to his downfall. So, either he thought he was just sooooo much better than Froch, or he was trying cover up his own insecurity. My guess is he was overwhelmed by the hate he recieved leading up to the fight. He wont be hated on in Montreal, nor will he get "deer in the headlights/freeze". If your right, then Carl KOs him inside the opening 2 rds. If Im right.....Lucian returns to his old self, and fight smartly to a UD or TKO later on in the fight. |

Soon as Froch realized he could handle Bute's power he just didn't give a hell and walked through him and Bute didn't know how to react to that. No foot movement, nothing. I'm sure he'll have smartened up come March (I hope) |

I didnt expect Bute to get smoked, or fight like he was packing Ross Purrity iron either. He's never fought like he had an iron chin and I didnt expect to see him completely try to slug it out with Froch....it's not his game. We'll see in MARCH if he's ruined. But Grachev in Nov.....that's just a horrible mismatch. Might as well send Sillakh in there with him ![]() |

I was wondering how long it would take the Bute Bandits to stick their disgraceful heads out of the closet again. I guess this thread has provided the answer.

no. I didnt expect him to buckle from a singular shot either nor did I know he had zero defensive answer for resolving himself when hurt. You need to rematch Carl Froch-Lucian Bute. Because if Bute gonna react the same way he did when he got hurt against Froch, then just imagine what a 175lb puncher can do with him, if he get caught. We might see a Deja Vu of the Sillakh fight, where Bute outboxes him, but then Grachev gets to him and then ![]() I like Bute, but the Buttards are pissing me of, specially that guy with ODLH picture Besides a question for IntentionalButt what were your prediction of Bute-Froch and who were you cheering for? |

People that bought Butes hype and thought he was gonna beat and even KO Froch should be ashamed of themselves
![]() I fear for Luciens health in a rematch, not sure it should be sanctioned |
