Comments Thread For: Bute Exercises Froch Rematch Clause To Redeem Himself

[JKidd2624]

I suppose, a rematch in Montreal can be the true barometer on whether Bute is a glorified regional champ who is great against club fighters, or a true elite level fighter. Froch is a tough fight in England or on the road, so its not like he'll be an easy fight just because he's on the road. Hell, he said it in the beginning of the promotion with the first fight, they think they're safe because of the rematch clause.

1st Bute needs 2 rid himself og the mental part of it...can he???What strategy will he use 2 negate the power & force of Froch...I can't c a Bute win here, even in Canada...

Im not using it as an excuse but didnt Fat Dan say before the fight that Bute had a bad foot or tow infection before the fight. I know he usually is making fun of Haye because of that same reason. Maybe Bute was just having an off night?

[bojangles1987]

He needs this rematch, and having another fight in between is the right move. I can't see what Bute does so differently that he wins the second time though.

Have never been a fan of Bute and I'm not now, but you can't deny dude has nuts to get back in the ring w/Froch considering how badly he got thumped.

And by all means let him get a confidence builder in before the rematch.

Fair play to bute, takes some balls to step back into the ring with someone who wiped the floor wi you. Still think froch takes this again as bute cant handle his power.

This is key. Bute couldn't even take Froch's body shots, he looked like he was from a weight class below. Can't see how the fight ends differently unless Froch gets his jaw cracked in his next fight, and even then maybe not.

Incidentally, I think Froch will fight Pavlik next.

Props to Bute for being willing to step in against the Cobra again. Sometimes knockouts come quicker in the second fight.

Really hope Froch can face Kessler in England.

I fail to see the point.

If Bute is more competitive in the rematch then he would somewhat salvage his career. He can hardly do worse than the first fight...

Bute-Bika would be a great fight to prepare for Froch, but it's probably too high risk.

Bute already fought Bika and dominated him.
