Have we just seen a 168 version of Salido-Lopez?

Nice analogy. In a way, yes. If they have a rematch, it will probably look the same exact way. Froch just has Bute's number like Salido has Lopez's.

Lopez was competitive with Salido, and fought pretty well both times. His defense just wasn't good enough. Bute was destroyed. This. _______

Lopez was competitive with Salido, and fought pretty well both times. His defense just wasn't good enough. Bute was destroyed. Exactly. Froch completely owned Bute :boxing:

Saying Juanma was untested is retarded.

Think about it: Big, untested southpaw champion with KO power gets destroyed by an indestructible, come-forward banger ;) Froch might be English, but there's some corner of a Nottingham ring that is forever Mexican :D LOL Interesting... Carl 'La Cobra' Froch :sombrero:
