Very classy and dignified in defeat (sky interview)...Bute team guy said he thought the ref should have possibly stopped the fight earlier and gave Froch full props. They could have tried to make something of Hearn jumping in before the fight was officially stopped. And respect to Bute for defending his belt in a beast like Frochs backyard..even though he probably though Carl was done after Ward dominated him. On a potential rematch dude said 'we need to think about Lucians health first and foremost'. Froch a mother****ing OG of the highest order and one of the most exciting if not THE most exciting fighter in the world right now
As are his fans. I was expecting a ton of butt hurtedness from our Bute fans but they have been class. Goes to show that the PAC FANS are still the worst fans in boxing, with all of the excuses they make for the fighter when he gives a bad performance atsch
I was expecting Larouche to come out with a pile of shite but he was first class. It's only a small number of Bute fans that taint their organisation.Many of them are top notch blokes and only became boxing fans because of Bute. That's a rarity these days.The whole Bute camp have behaved impeccably from the minute they arrived. It was still delicious though...:yep
Bute and his trainer were class all the way through the build up and after the fight. Bute applauding the fans and Froch afterwards...class act. His fans made their voices heard too last night which i wasn't expecting. Respect! Genuinely nice guy is Bute and i wish him all the best for the future.
Agreed about Bute, his team, and his fans, I am not overly surprised his true fans have acted with class as many of them to be good posters.
Nice to see some humility in brutal defeat. I didn't see post fight interviews but hearing this sounds good to me. Good on him for stepping up to the plate and taking the challenge out of his backyard. But in the end, respect to Froch. He proved my dumb ass wrong-- violent, dominant, shocking performance.
Thanks OP. There are too many assholes bragging how they always knew Bute was hype, but he was all class in defeat and actually was the aggressor at the start. Respect to both men, but I was happy that Froch came back in such an impressive performance.
Really big ups to both Froch and Bute. The whole lead up was professional, there were no nonsense shoving matches at the press conference, there wasn't a cage between them, nobody spit on each other. Boxing may as well be WWE now with all the bull**** that goes on now, but for once, it actually resembled a sport. Two guys that toured, fought, and afterwords showed class. Bute didn't make excuses, just took the loss, and went home. It really was refreshing to see and I wish that there were more of them around.
