Losing your zero after such a long run and in such a high profile manner gonna do some damage to your psyche isn't it?
Is Bute's mojo permanently broken?
Or can he come back from this and become a better fighter?
Good fighter, just can't take a punch. Work on that defense and he could be back. Should have fought Andre Ward instead probably wouldn't have gotten ktfo
I hope so, I like Bute, he could definitely beat Steiglitz or Abraham and pick up the WBO strap. I don't see him doing so well against Kessler, Ward, or Dirrell.
ooo yeah.i think bute will never be the same again he got beat up and beat up bad 2day. consider him gun shy from now own just like juanma, fernando vargas and old school meldrick taylor.once its beatin out of you its gone forever.
That was much earlier in his career to be fair. Bute is 34 and unbeaten in 30. Harder for Bute to go back to the drawing board don't you think?
No not really because its not like Bute has been in plenty of wars and is shot or something. I think if Bute can take a punch in the future and this fight was just a case of him getting caught early and getting hurt then he can possibly bounce back.

Bute is 32, to be exact.
So then why is Bute done? Khan got destroyed much worse against a lesser quality fighter than Froch. He has bounced back and its possible Bute can too.

Yes I do, he's definitely a world class fighter.

No. But its going to appear that way.
What's going to happen is he will be outclassed again by tougher competition. It's won't be because he's ruined. Its because he's not an elite fighter.
He can still handle the 5-20 th ranked guys in the division though.
If he rematches him again right away and gets beat I'm sure it'll be broken. If he comes back with some good wins and fights a top fighter and wins then I'm guessing he's okay only time will tell

I think Bute can bounce back mentally but my concern is if physically he can take a punch from world class opposition.
