Comments Thread For: Froch: Let's Be Honest, Andrade Knocked Bute Out!

[voneric]

I thought Bute took advantage of the Refs mistake and he looked like he could of got up after the count of 5 and beat the Bell. There was only 3 or 4 seconds in the fight when he got Knocked down but Bute was real lucky the Ref did not stop the Fight at any point in the last 34 seconds. I am pulling for Froch to knockout Bute but I hope his whole strategy does not rely on a weak chin.

Tough fight to call. Froch is the more seasoned fighter of the two in terms of competition but something is making me hesitant to say he got this in the bag. Froch took some big hits before and Bute got enough power to do some damage. If Froch wants to win he has to strictly out box Bute.

I thought that the ref was supposed to stop it before Bute went down. Bute had nothing left and was out on his feet.

The definition of a fighter bieng "out on their feet" should be that Bute clip.

So just because Bute got hurt in ONE fight in the last round, makes him overrated and Froch is better? Other than being hurt one time in one fight, Bute has soundly beaten everyone hes faced and KOed most of them. Froch however, was outboxed for 11.5 rounds and dropped by Taylor, outboxed and hurt by Dirrell, hurt by Kessler, and thoroughly dominated by Ward. Froch should have 1-2 more losses easily on his record. Apparently Froch thinks if you get hurt, you are overrated and he is better than you.

I just think this reasoning is absurd. I am not saying Bute is going to win but I just wish Froch would shut his annoying mouth and just fight. He just talks so much, its enough. I hope Bute ices him with a sweet body shot.

WAR Bute!

Oh jeez this crap all over again. All Bute had to do was to get up before the original count of ten which he did. If you don't believe me watch the fight he was up and responded to the ref when ask to raise his gloves. And because there were only four (4) let me say it again four seconds left in the fight when he went down. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS TO BEAT THE ORIGINAL COUNT OF TEN BELLS RINGS FIGHT OVER.

From what I remember Bute should have lost that fight yes. He has also learned from that fight and improved. Froch won't be able to walk through what Andrade did that night anyway.

I don't get why people make such a big deal out of it. When Bute got knocked down, there were only 3-4 seconds left on the clock. And then Bute got up at 8-9 seconds of the count. Even if the Ref didn't take so long, the fight would have been over as soon as Bute got the ok to keep on fighting.

Same here, but I'm sorta leaning toward Froch. I won't say it's a sure thing because I know what Bute is capable of. Dude has some serious pop & that left up to the body is a thing of beauty. Froch faced a lot of opposition in the super six which has me thinking he's seen just about everything. Leaning, but still really not sure about this one.
