poor Bute.. he and his trainer acted so positively and respectfully both before and after the fight.. When Bute was introduced he was smiling and waving to the audience, happy like a puppy, like he thought they like him and the crowd was booing.. It also has to be said that Froch started quite dirty. Holding and hitting right away, to psyche Bute out, and it looks like he made it. Lucian was looking at the ref helplessly like he couldn't believe he, Froch and everyone are not that nice to him. Not to make excuses as all in all he got whooped fair and square but he acted a lot like a naive novice in there.. He needs to toughen up, learn how to defend against such flurries, especially in close.
Bute was out if his league he had never faced a fighter with the toughness and skills of the cobra and was dealt with accordingly. Froch knew this and tested him from the jump.
But seriously, I do feel sorry for Bute. Like Freelaw has said, he was a child in there. If you watch the replay in one of the onslaughts, his head was smacked back and his eyes were on the ref as if to ask "will you stop this?".
I agree... It just looks like Bute is not mentally tough enough when going gets rough. Even his chin is weak he looks too damn soft, shame.
I remember you. One of the guys who believed in Carl no matter what! Respect for being real fan. He is a fighter who makes their fans to be proud of him!:good
