    No. He might not have gone down, but he crumbled once he tasted the power. How is he going to improve his chin in the second fight?

    Yeah that was the problem, he wasn't up for the fight. The biggest fight of his career and he wasn't up for it.

    Do you admit Bute isn't as good as you thought he was when he was fighting in CANada?

    He can just keep his hands up, and not try to be cute looking for one big punch (see Lewis/Rahman II)

    Andrade II Bute had more questions to be answered IMO. This Froch rematch is his biggest fight IMO

    Right . . . .

    So you thought he was good enough to KO Froch.

    The he fights Froch and gets stopped in one of the most one sided title fights in recent memory . . .

    But he's NOT worse than you thought.

    Care to explain?

    Lewis Rahman II . . . . WTF?



    No. Nobody believed that Andrade was a tougher fight than Froch, especially not Bute. Froch was his biggest fight by a mile.

    ^ Bute was clearly arching his back, as in preparation for an epic head-butt, before the referee stopped him.

    yes, Lewis kept his hands up in the rematch thus not losing by KO.

    The Lewis - Rahman comparison doesn't work - Lewis got iced by a single shot he shouldn't have gotten hit with

    It wasn't just that Bute couldn't take Froch's power, it was that he couldn't avoid the punches as well. Froch's reach clearly caused him nightmares, I was shocked at how easily Froch was able to counter him. Bute was supposed to be the faster man with the better footwork, yet Froch was actually countering and catching him in the centre of the ring. Froch hammered him round after round because he found Bute easy to hit.

    If Carl hit Andre Ward with the same punches he'd have KO'd him as well, but he'd never catch Ward like that because Ward's defence is so good.

    Lewis took some big shots from Rahman.

    It wasn't because Froch was faster though, it was because Bute was dropping his right and Froch was throwing the 2-3 , the 2 to blind him and the 3 to come over top of Bute's low right, because he wasn't jabbing at all and looking for one punch.

    Its really the perfect way to fight a southpaw anyways. Ward was doing the same to Dawson.

    I never expected this fight to be so one sided, Bute was just annihilated

    It's amazing how time can make people think that even though they walked past a turd,they remember seeing a lump of gold.
