I admit I got caught up in the Bute hype

    I don't know what to say about Bute, he is good fighter but met the wrong opponent fighting in his hometown. Still, I am not sure a rematch on neutral field would look the same. Do you think there will be a Froch vs. Bute II?

    Froch is used to fight in hostile enviroment.Sven Buttke was not.a rematch would probably look the same because Sven Buttke has an awful defence.that's his problem,not the so called glass jaw cause he took some powerful shots in the chin and didn't drop,he has no defence.

    Glass jaw doesn't always translates in a guy being dropped by punches but also by reacting very bad to them. Bute looked like being hit with a hammer at every shot Froch threw. That is also glass jaw in my book.
    This doesn't exclude a bad defence (he may very well have a bad defence) but that's not what Bute "displayed" that night. It was bad tactics and terrible chin IMO.

    PS: still proud to be a Bute fan :bbb
