Your boy took on hell of a beating last night, now give froch his dues and man up, he annilated your boy :hat All that talk of froch is getting knocked out he has a glass liver, now pay homage to the cobra :happy
99% of the Bute fans on ESB,are just that.They do not follow the sport,and contribute nothing to threads unless there is some connection with there hero. Don't expect to hear much from them anytime soon.
I'm not a Bute fan, but I did pick Bute. Two years ago, I had picked Froch saying he had everything he needed to beat Bute at any time, but I got cracked by the hype I think. I still thought it was a very close fight but I picked Bute. I was surprised and delighted by what I saw. I don't believe that Bute has some paper chin, and I don't believe he was a third class hype job. I just believe that Froch is a cracking fighter who won't go away. Out of interest, does anyone know if someone made a detailed pick for Froch by early stoppage?
i thought froch was going to stop him late, i don't think anybody expected what the cobra did last night, it was awesome the atmosphere was electric at the capital FM.
A very close friend of mine(who can't make it just now) has been saying for months that Froch would KO Bute in the first.Many thought it was a joke,and let him know it.The exact round wasn't right,but the sentiment was. Good posting on the Rangers doc McG.:good
eh im a fan of Bute wanted to begrudgingly give Froch his props earlier but esb was crashing or something couldn't get to the forum then had work now im back. I always thought Bute was a better fighter but his defense is severly lacking and his punch resistance isn't too hot. Was a great win for Froch and a entertaining fight while it lasted. What im really interested in seeing is how far Ward can go ..I believe he's a special fighter should be fun to see who he fights next his skill level and style wont be easy for anyone.
You may not remember me Two Shakes,but you were my first ally when I joined up for the war. Glad you enjoyed the fight mate.:good
No no mate,i follow your posts on a daily basis.You did try to educate these people,but some refused to learn. Your tongue in cheek prediction very nearly came off !!! I had Froch closing the distance and beaching this battleship in the championship rounds,but he ran it aground much quicker than i thought he would. Keep up the good work,but i fear many of Lucian's crew will be lost at sea.:good
I picked bute to annihalate Froch after one of the worst matches i have ever seen of froch vs ward if not the worst.But froch handled bute quite well,never letting him get started,although the holding and punching+ rabbit punching were unfair.Bute really does have a glass jaw and no defense just sitting there taking frochs bombs!.Bute wasnt willing to go into a war,although round 4 the real bute started emerging,but froch handled range and applied pressure which bute is used to taking it easy and setting hisd own pace.
Most of Bute's real fans, and real boxing fans, have gone nowhere. . . They've simply given Froch his props, and have turned to the future. . .
