Comments Thread For: Bute's Trainer is Stunned: I Have No Explanation

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bell Centre, Montreal, Canada - Stephan Larouche, trainer of former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (31-2, 24KOs), offered no explanation on why his boxer was unable to let his hands go for much of his contest with Jean Pascal (29-2-1, 17KOs). Bute finally opened up in the twelfth and final round, and had Pascal in some trouble. But it was too late, as Pascal won on scores of 116-112, 118-110, 117-111.

Bute looked ridiculous and In no way deserves a rematch. I had high hopes for this fight, but only one man showed up.

[ИATAS]

He lacked confidence and it showed.

Maybe just the fact he survived 12 rounds gives Bute the belief in himself that he's not going to get Froch'd everytime.

I have an explanation. He was scared. The Froch fight has him shook. When you don't throw punches your scared of what's coming back in return.

Bute had a nice run but its time to hang them up.

Bute's trainer can start by giving Pascal his just due..

[Ray*]

It's the Carl Froch syndrome, he was afraid of a counter.

[The Hammer]

Bute hadn't been in the ring for 14 months and the ring rust showed.

Pascal wasn't throwing much either.

I think it was a mental issue. Bute has no confidence in his defence and his ability to take a punch. So he simply could not open up.

Yeah he is done. It is official.

His resume is so awful. Prior to getting destroyed by Froch, he fought Glenn Johnson, Jean-Paul Mendy, Brian Magee, Jesse Brinkley & Edison Miranda. He was always C level, and Pascal isn't much better.

Mentally, he is gone.
