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

[LacedUp]

I think Bute should seriously consider retirement. There's really nothing he can do in either of the two divisions he fought in. Sad to think that two years ago, people thought he was a legitimate challenger to Andre Ward's titles and now he seems a shell of himself.

Guess his management should regret letting him fight Carl Froch away at the time. Oh well, Bute, do yourself a favour and give up. You had a good career, but there's really no coming back from this.

Sakio Bika? that win doesn't look so bad.

Your sig is trippy as hell.

Doesn't look stunning either. Bika is a good fighter, but he's not an elite level fighter by any means. If you look at Bute, he's had about 10 defenses of his IBF title - and I'm not even sure he fought 1 top 10 during his reign. At least not an established one.

That's quite disturbing.

Froch took his soul. He was so concerned about what could come back at him that he didn't throw anything himself. The guy should retire.

Bute rounds 11, 12, did good that might boost his confidence going into his next fight

That was one of the most frustrating fights to watch ever...how are you the bigger and stronger man but scared to punch..Ironically when he went on the offensive he scored huge over and over again. Pascal always runs out of gas why not hit him to the body more than 40 times? Like seriously..it was like Bute was scared to fight. I would like to see a rematch because I think perhaps he grew out of his apprehension but Pascal would've not won that fight had Bute actually shown up to fight.

he's scared of getting KTFO again. Froch fight messed him up. He cant pull the trigger anymore.

Froch exposed him and took his soul.

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

"Bute's trainer"? I didn't know he had any...

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.

Yup, that's certainly what it looked like. Skillz do not pay the bills if you don't have the head and heart of a fighter.

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.

both you guys thanks.
right on the money.
bute don't listen to the "yes" people you surround yourself with.
retire. buy a chain of car washes or something
