To mee Bute is done, Froch damaged him. Now he is scared fighting. To bad, he was exciting. Apparently he had about seven concussion in there against Froch.
Bute was always a one trick pony, no trainer is going to teach him anything new at his age. Bute is done, his confidence gone. He knows he doesn't belong at the A or even B level now.
Bute has the talent, but does he have the heart anymore? Ward refused to allow Bute to fight in his personal tournament, in fact, Ward refused to fight in his tournament unless he had all his fights in his home turf, with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission, etc. Ward beat Kessler by an intentional illegal headbutt, and Ward's personal referee believes that illegal headbutts are legal as long as it's Ward who does the headbutting. Ward is a cheater..............
I don't know. Bute tee'd off on Bika quite a bit... then there's this one, where he won his title: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi_8e11B_4I ...Froch Shang Tsung'ed him. I was there, in the 22nd row... in hostile territory to boot. What a disappointment. I didn't give two shits about visiting York the next day.
Bute would have been better off with Virgil Hunter who would have tightened up his defence as well as his inside game. Roach is ok for a fighter like Pacquiao who has tons of natural ability which Bute lacks. It would be great to see Bute call out Golovkin to rebound by the ex-hype exposing the new hype. The fight could be billed, Hype No More.
