Only thing he's clearing out is gonna be his dressing room after Froch rapes him again and runs back to Romania a proven fraud.
Bute is gonna get his vagina perforated if he fights like that against Froch. I'm a Bute fan but I don't see how you can say that he is back.
Tonight, Bute has defined for everyone exactly where he belongs. He's a decent contender and that's about it. Just not enough defence, chin and stamina to be at the top level and his speed and timing has regressed a bit. He might make a good little measuring stick for top up and comers though.
I was giving Bute the benefit of the doubt and thinking he might have just been over whelmed by the moment in Nottingham and giving him a shot of out boxing Froch at home. After tonight? Nope. I don't see it happening.
How is Kessler looking? I keep seeing people post that Froch beats "this version" of Kessler as though he has slipped a lot?
Froch ruined him, if he fought Grachev before the Froch fight Grachev woulda been KO'd in the mid rounds. Bute has destroyed far better SMW's then Grachev, the fact that the fight was even close is disgraceful. He fought scared, he'll never be the same, Froch will kill him in 2 rounds if they fight again, it's a pointless rematch.
Green put him down once before he stormed back and scored one of the KO's of the Year. He's slipped, but no more than expected with progressing in age.
