    He should get himself an American trainer like Golovkin and Kovalev have done.

            was it always this way? lose a fight or 2 and switch trainers.......im seeing a lot of fighters do it, notably cotto, khan

            bute's confidence is gone after the froch fight, he is scared to throw punches and commit to them. thats a mental thing

                It's not like this.

                As soon as Bute failed to make the main feature, InterBox (Jean Bédard, Larouche) got rid of him...

                Bute intends to fight in the undercard of Adonis Stevenson -- Andrzej Fonfara... For the first time in many years that Bute is to fight in the undercard.

                Stevenson-Fonfara card is promoted by Yvon Michel's GYM -- i.e. InterSport's competition...

                    I wish Bute well. He's definitely had some problems lately, but a different look might do him some good. Couldn't hurt.

                        He was too candid -- simple boy from the countryside...

                            Andrade exposed him? Lol.

                            He was destroying him until the last moments of the bout.

                            That's like saying JCC Jr exposed Martinez with that 12th round facade.

                                Can't blame Laruche for leaving Bute. Bute didn't do a thing he asked in that fight, and fought scared. He's likely done and really never beat anyone at the top.

                                    Bute should really just retire. I always knew he was a hype job but his last performance against Pascal was embarrassing to say the least and his confidence after Froch was destroyed.

                                        BUTE! BUTE! BUTE!
                                        Hoping that he doesn't retire; I gave Pascal an 11-1 UD over Bute, but the 12th round really reminded be of the Bute of old letting his punches fly and hitting accurate big shots.
                                        Hopefully he builds himself back up in 2/3 quick fights and goes on to rematch Froch or "destoy Ward" like people were saying years ago.
