    Was Froch's victory just a fluke?

    Lucky to be blessed with dynamite in both hands, a granite chin and the heart of a lion, yes.

    He won pretty much every round up until the stoppage, how would luck play a factor in that situation?

    Bute has no head movement. This is what happens when Froch trapped Ward against the ropes in their fight

    Not lucky. He was simply too tough for Bute. Bute landed some very good shots on him, Froch took them and not only shook them off, but answered back. I don't think he was ready for that. It also seemed that everything that Froch landed hurt Bute. It wasn't 1 stray punch that hurt Bute and led to his demise. He was repeatedly hurt.

    When Froch beats his ass again in their rematch we'll see if it was "luck".

    Bute will not be "unlucky" in the rematch.

    Does bullying someone against the ropes and unloading all over their face like something from a bukkake film count as luck? Because I'm sure Froch wasn't trying to hit the ref was those punches

    No, Bute got lucky against Andrade. Till this very day he still kisses Milton Wrights butt....
