Credit Froch who did this in his very next fight after losing almost every round to Ward.

Not surprised.

That was one hell of a beat down.

Froch is underrated....big time

Bute lost long before this, I will never forget his 20 second count vs Andrade.

Don’t worry bud. Groves, Kessler, Mack, and Taylor were never the same after fighting Frochy too.

Groves went on to win a belt, Kessler beat Froch in their 1st fight and the 2nd fight was not a beatdown, I don't even know why you brought up Yusef Mack and Taylor was never the same since the Pavlik fights.

I thought he was referencing his fight with Pascal.

Regardless, it takes some humility for a fighter and champion to be as forthright about a loss as Bute was this, I remember watching it and thought it would be competitive. It wasn't . Froch walked thru everything Bute had to offer and beat him down mercilessly. The Bute/Pascal fight was lackluster, you could see there was no animosity inside or outside the ring between the two.
