Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Rips Bute: He Fought Nobody, I'm His Hero!

[Ravens Fan]

At middleweight Abraham was very strong and dominant. I cant say I ever cared much for his style but it got him world titles and they dont give them away for nothing. He would normally always lose the first 3 to 4 rounds by just walking down his opponent with the high guard, have a look and absorb punches and not throw much in return. Then in the middle rounds **** he would unleash hard combos and power punch guys out of there.
He is the least natural at the weight and that tactic just hasn't been enough for the heavier,taller, rangier guys like Froch and Dirrell who are natural career SMW's. They both made him look average like most of his other MW opponents have done in the early rounds except they could keep it up for 12 rounds and never allow him into the fight. Of the two though Froch did the more complete job on him.
Froch is a world bronze medalist, he is a world class boxer and a world champion. Yes he has been brawling as a pro far to much for his trainers liking but he has a macho streak and the crowd love a tear up as much as he does. For 12 rounds against Abraham I saw him show the disciplined boxing he was always capable of but to rarely used.
Now I'm not making excuses for Abraham and I can understand your impressions of him. But it is easy to get carried away when one great boxer makes another great boxer look average and say things like I could have beat him myself (sarcastically offcourse) but by doing so it detracts from the reality that they are still both great and deserve respect.

I have to say that you do have some valid points. But sorry I still have no respect for Abraham, at least not as a fighter.

Haha Froch ducks no one! he always calls out the best!

And too all you idiots saying Froch lost 11 rounds of 12 to Taylor, you clearly haven't watched the fight and only saw highlights! LOL

I doubt that

Froch has said in a pretty recent interview he was not really interested in fighting Bute after the Tournament, and would rather move up to rematch Pascal

I read that on ESB I believe...

Really ?

Then, maybe he was just responding to some leading questions when he mentioned Bute in this article?

What I was meaning is, Froch has never failed to front up so far, so I get a firm impression that if he starts looking in Bute's direction, then he would jump on him if he had the chance.

Don't get me wrong, Bute has it all over Froch when it comes to skill / technique, but as I am sure you know, it is Froch's intangibles that have got him this far that could be a very difficult fight for Bute, his chin / stamina / composure, will all be tested.

Froch is not my preferred type of boxer, I like more technical fighters, but he brings it man, he shows up lookin 100% and he puts on a good fight. He is awkward, and I cringe a little sometimes during his fights, but he sure is entertaining, both in and out of the ring

haha nice one Carl!

Fair enough. I don't think you meant it literally. I used terms like ignorant and lack of respect in the context of your description of Abrahams performance against Froch which lead to you sarcastic comment about being able to beat him yourself. I would ask you to consider that it was Froch's virtuoso performance that made Abraham look as bad as he did not Abraham's lack of effort ability.

IMHO, I think it highlighted Abraham's lack of ability, even accounting for the fact that he most likely should still be campaigning at 160.

He is limited bro, Froch just confirmed it.

And Froch is no superstar himself, he is definitely not an elite fighter.

froch is right bute aint top dog butes only win of note andrade means nothink alan green level at most froch has beat 3 better fighters and should of been 4 with kessler pascal war dirrel taylor abraham and while bute fights bums like magee who was in the fight all the way froch takes on warrior johnson bute wouldnt have an 0 on his record if he was man enough for the super6

After I read your post I decided to watch the fight again. And I have to say that I stand corrected. Because I was one of the ones who stated Froch lost all of the rounds until the last. What can I say I misspoke and I was wrong.

I have to admit that I am not a Froch fan and I am very biased but the Taylor fight was much closer than I remembered. I guess I read one to many post that fogged my objectivity, wait I am not a boxing judge so I don't have to be objective. I still had Taylor winning easily going into the final round but Froch deserves more credit than I was willing to give him. I also still believe that Froch brawls to much and Bute is still the better fighter by a mile and therefore I still believe Bute will win.

Big mouth. Jaleous man of the best 168 division.

Why did the best not fight the best S MW fighters in the tournament? Sure let them wear themselves out while I fight the left overs. Just proves how good he really is and how good he thinks he really is.

Any fighter that gets a fifteen count is the best and deserves to be undeated. :wank:

[Mr Reality]

Ward should make Lotion "jackoff" Bute fight a respectable fighter before he gives a him a shot after fighting all the top fighters that Lotion avoided while fighting in Canada.

Although he redeemed himself vs Andrade, he clearly got Ko'd in the first fight...The 0 is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:wank:

[Toby 1991]

I'd love to see Bute outclass Froch. Froch is way too ****y.
