Did nerves get to Lucian Bute against Carl Froch?

Froch took a risk attacking the way he did. And Bute did´nt know what to do. I had expected him to move away from Froch. In stéad he stayed on the ropes with an idea of catching Froch with a countepunch !!
Froch took the right decision -( it would´ve been suicide against an opponent like Abraham).
I think Bute was prepared for a defencemiknded Froch - not an agressive monster!

 

Thanks. In that case he has exerience traveling to fight the best in the world. I would hope he used that for motivation and confidence.

Regardless, I think this was Froch's night. Bute didn't make any excuses, neither should the fans. Give Carl some credit and respect Bute for taking the fight.

 

I had a WTF moment when I saw that. How is a recording of crowd noise going to prepare you for the raw intensity of hostile home crowd? It isn't the "noise" that is the problem; it's more the buzz and intimidation of having thousands of people baying for your blood.

 

Taylor was giving Froch a butt whoopin and losing about every round before the Cobra caught him late. I will say Froch didn't have the same confidence and probably was at an all time low when he faced Ward. Kessler took away his aura of invincibility. But Froch, I really doubt it. He's one of the most confident fighters in the game.

 

:bart froches right hand

 

I think Bute had over 200 fights and only a few losses(8-10) at Amateurs.

 

i seen gg knock him the **** out, as i said before the fight bute was more acustomed to the canvas than froch :yep

 

hard fists and superior skills got to lucian bute against carl froch

 

Froch keeps hands low protects glass.body, works for.him.he has iron.chin.
this threw a wrench into butes game. forced him to lean and head hunt.

There is a big difference in fighting at home and away.............only stay at home fighters don't acknowledge this................
