Froch-Bute official fight thread

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

First topic message reminder :

Less than an hour to go...

Common sense tells me Bute has got this but I just have a funny feeling it may be Froch's night!!!

[Seanusarrilius]

I am so proud of Froch. I said Froch KO, I just felt he could get to this guy. And my oh my did he. Hearn was stupid jumping in the ring though, even if it was confusing

[ONETWOFOREVER]

Oh here we go Barry plugging SKY on no here comes big ears.

[Steffan]

Hmm im mixed here. When Wales beat England in the 6 Nations (and went on to win the Grand Slam) all you pro-English/anti-Welsh were very bitter so I guess why should I leave. Maybe il stay hey. Il do a poll prehaps

Steffan. Just ignore it. This thread is a celebration of an amazing performace. Come on man, dont spoil it.

[djlovesyou]

You're not going to leave, let's be honest. Don't make a scene.

[ONETWOFOREVER]

Racheal go away


please.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Can I just say I thought that referee was dreadful. What was he doing at the end of the fight? Everyone in that building could see that Bute was on dream street and he still wanted to do a count. Thank god Bute's corner did the right thing, because I dunno what the ref was up to!

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Racheal go away

I want her to stay on my screen for as long as possible.

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Barry needs to calm down with the nut-hugging a bit.

[Steffan]

Il try not to

He messed up there but I think he done well before-hand, as someone else pointed out if it was a British ref this fight would've been stopped prematurely.

[KC]

Much respect to THE COBRA
Must admit I thought Bute would be too fast for him but Carl negated his speed & proved that Bute's chin or ability to slip a punch ain't all that.
Wouldn't blame him for taking the rematch [for a payday] then maybe go after Kessler, then rematch Ward [?].
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

[ShahenshahG]

Working in morning - off to bed - might have to crack a couple off to get rid of thr the adreno haha good night all

[Steffan]

Nah Froch did well didnt he. Bute showed he aint all that as well mind but rematch against Kessler I think for the Cobra

[Guest]

Haaaaaaaaaaaalleluuuuujaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[rodders]

Steffan join us on the rugby boards mate so I can give you a slaggin there.... .....

[Sugar Floyd Louis]

Me too, I'm off. Massive props to Froch. My respect increases a lot for a fighter who surprises me!

[ONETWOFOREVER]

Froch needs to fight Kessler next then Ward.


REVENGE!

[Steffan]

Steffan join us on the rugby boards mate so I can give you a slaggin there.... .....

I spend more time arguing with Welsh rugby fans that anyone else on there so there aint much 'slaggin' to go on between me and you mate

[Steffan]

Froch Kessler 2 is on the cards fellas so fair do Froch has earned it (can be humble at times)

[Mad for Chelsea]

yup, Froch-Kessler the next fight surely (knowing that Froch is unlikely to take the easy option). Probably in Nottingham since Froch holds the belt now. Should be a cracker

[Seanusarrilius]

Agreed mate

[Steffan]

Mad thing is though that Froch showed a level of aggresion tonight that he hasnt showed before. If he did thatr against Ward he still would have lost but not so emphatically. Froch Kessler 2 will be a good one I gotta admit

[Inventing Johnson Klute]

Got to admit that I fancied Bute's speed and class to be too much for Carl, however, it was a great performance from Froch and he nailed his game plan too a tee.

Chuffed to bits he proved me wrong though!

[WHU_Champo_League_in_7Yrs]

Why would he take it easy, he has been taking tough fights for years so won't stop now. He is 34 so doesn't have loads of fights leg tin him so strike while the iron is hot. The only people I wouldn't give him a chance with is ward and maybe Dawson in the super middle and light heavyweight divisions

[as1079]

I'm tempted to step in the ring with Froch myself. God knows he deserves an easy fight!

[alanqlm]

Can't wait to see what that plum Scott Gilfoid off boxingnews24 has to say about the fight... seems to do nothing but rip every british fighter to bits. Looking forward to see what possible criticism he comes up with for Froch now.

[bhb001]

Superb. I had Bute down to win by UD. Never been so happy to be proven wrong. Next time, I'll go with my heart!

[Commander]

Nice words by Bute's trainer

[Steffan]

Id do it for £50

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Quality by the Cobra. Demolished Bute and prove his doubters wrong. Me included, I thought it would be a come from behind tight points victory. Spanked Bute from round 1. I can think of two Welshman that won't be happy tonight

I think Calzaghe will be having doubts of his own legacy now!

[Seanusarrilius]

Andre Ward missed a trick not taking Bute cos he would have dominated him too. But now all the props are Froch's now because he is a warrior

And just when I was trying to be humble...

[Guest]

For what it's worth I'd bet my mortgage on a prime Calzaghe waxing a prime Froch.

[ONETWOFOREVER]

Boxing is a funny old game.

Froch labours to win against Johnson yet Bute totally outclasses Johnson. When the 2 meet Froch destroys Bute.

[ONETWOFOREVER]

Oh yeah

As much as I can't stand Calslaps I think he beats Froch.

Too much mobility from Calslaps

[Steffan]

in all seriousness froch's legacy puts stay at home Joe to shame. On tonights performance I'm even starting to doubt calzaghe would beat him.

Whats Wales ever done to you?

[ONETWOFOREVER]

We all know Froch has options now but where can Bute go from here?

He may be hoping Ward, Froch, Kessler move up to light heavy because the man has been seriously found out tonight.

The party started on October 1st 1993 Steffan. Where you been?

[Commander]

Is it true that when Khan was on camera some people were chanting racist/hate abuse?

Incidentally, Khan had all great stuff to say about Froch!

[ONETWOFOREVER]

Oh yeah

As much as I can't stand Calslaps I think he beats Froch.

Too much mobility from Calslaps

I thought the same about bute until tonight!

The difference is Calzaghe loved a war. Clearly Bute did not.

Gave me the best holidays of my life.

Barry Island 1985,86,87,88,89,1990 (twice, my Dad worked alot of overtime that year) 91,92,93,94 and then I left school and the rest is history. Them majestic blue coats knew a move or two.

Good man. Life is an hallucination sober. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

No offense but I live about 20 minutes away from Barry and even us humble Welsh folk look down on English types who choose Barry Island as a holiday. Nice beach mind

[Seanusarrilius]

Ok, I am knackered from adrenalin surges. That was sublime. My fav UK fighter giving it like that in one of the cities I used to frequent. Insane!

Well in that case blame the parents. I had my first snog on the steps of yellow camp and she was a right pig but she got my juices flowing. Memories eh...

[BoxingFan88]

That was an unbelievable performance from Froch, no one expected him to blow out Bute so easily.

When I was rewatching the Ward fight I noticed that Froch was able to bully Ward in the later rounds when he got tired, Ward would move away and Froch would follow him. I though Froch would do the same to Bute when he got tired and force the stoppage late. However Froch was just able to charge forward and pound him.

Never did I think that was going to happen, that was absolutely incredible.

So if Clev ever decides to fight someone decent you gonna support him then?
