I think that he should I dont know about you but he looked off yesterday, I thought he looked nervous in the intros and the commentators pointed out that he didnt have much of a sweat going in the ring Bute's defense was leaky and he was very passive when hurt Bute was very good at holding and knew when to clinch, usually held after the first shot to avoid a barrage but then hed back straight to the ropes again However I think despite a bad performance by Bute, Froch fought maybe the best fight of his career what impressed me the most was Froch's defense and a very disciplined offense that did not give Bute opporunities to counter his right hand was always in position to defend the left and he never once left the body open I dont think Bute landed a combination of more than 2 shots I think Bute should take the rematch, he will be home this time, he lost his 0 and may fight different, may be hungrier since losing the belt what ya think
Eddie Hearn said that they won't be able to fight for the title immediately as he was knocked out, so it would either be a non-title rematch, or they both fight someone else and then have the rematch assuming neither loses.
That's interesting. Sounds like a good idea. Let Bute get back on the horse so to speak, and let Froch get some another home fight.
I think Bute should take the rematch, I don't think he can do worse than last night's performance even if he tried. Doesn't matter if he still gets starched as long as he puts up a better fight it'll be better for his career.
I think he's gone from being a mountie to being mounted. Froch knocked the Canadian clean out of him.
yeah i think he should go away work on a good strategy on beating froch and take the rematch this time he wont underestimate him
Sheeeeeeeeeeeittt! Did you matha****as even watch the fight? There ain't nothing he could have done in there. He was a fish out of water. He really looked like a well-seasoned amateur who had never taken clean punches without the headgear before. HE seemed in utter shock from every punch that landed. He don't want no more of that boy.
:rofl Strategy? That loss wasn't anything about strategy. That was about not being on the same level as your opponent. When you enter the ring looking like a rabbit in the headlights and your opponent can walk through your shots and batter you around the ring like that it doesn't matter what strategy you use - you're getting your arse beat time and time again. What would change about his strategy? "Hey Lucian, here's the strategy for the rematch; try not to let Froch's punches hurt you so much and try to hit him about three times harder than you did last time" Underestimate? So THAT was why he lost, because he underestimated Froch? In that case Bute's mentality is about as impressive as his punch resistance. He had fought absolutely no one of note and was about to face a guy who had fought every other top guy in the division, only being decisively beaten once and knocked down one time. If he thought he could take it easy against Froch then he is an absolute moron. Thankfully, I'm sure that Bute realises he is no match for Froch and I'm sure he did not underestimate Froch at all. These are just excuses being offered up by delusional fans like yourself.
I don't give Bute much of a chance against Froch but if there's one thing Bute can sit on, it's the fact that he's done well in a rematch. After nearly getting KO'd, I never thought he would KO the then iron chinned Andrade. Obviously Froch is a different animal but hey, strange things do happen.
What would be the point of a rematch? That beating was so comprehensive, that no-one including Bute and Larouche would want to see it again.
I don't know what his mind set is like, but either way it would be hard to get back in the ring with Froch after that beating. I must give respect to him for fighting away from home and taking the loss like a man.
