    And the NEW IBF Champion of the Wooorld....

    CARL THE COBRAAAA FROCH!


    :good

    Pimp C, hit me with my new avatar, man! :)

    Yeah, I've overrated Bute. He is a solid world class fighter, but he is not (a lot) better than that.

    P.S. Great, great atmosphere tonight!

    Backtracking is embarrassing.

    I hope we will see the rematch in Montreal next!

    Carl would rightly be considered a heavy favourite, but I would expect Bute to want the rematch straight-away, and I hope Froch will give it to him.:good

    Props, props and more props. So much props someone should call the cops. No, but really, I picked Bute to win by a decision and I stand corrected by the Cobra. Again, more props.

    I want to be one of the first to admit that I thought Bute would be too fast for Froch. I knew Froch had a punchers chance with that questionable chin of Bute. Congratulations to the Cobra on a great victory.

    Give it up.

    Bute will want no part of it,he'll move up to 175 and blame weight issues for the Froch schooling.A rematch would only last 1 or 2 rounds.

    Carl has made a decent amount of loot in his day, but he aint got enough to cover backing out of an iron clad rematch clause.

    If Bute wants it......it's his to be had. See Lewis Rahman or Lewis McCall. Exact same scenario in each fight as to tonights fight.

    The better man lost by KO......but the better man got his rematch, and got back his title in devastating fashion.

    Bute had deer in the headlights look from the opening bell. Stiff and overly cautious. Not even knowing the effect his punches were having on Froch. A quick turnabout tuneup in July for Bute against a guy like George, and then a rematch in late September to get his title and his dignity back.:deal

    You owe me an apology!

    On an honest note, I do respect Bute for putting it on the line, thats all I ever wanted from him, to step up. Now we know for sure what I expected for many years.
