By Mark Havey: Boxing fans seem to be left continuously frustrated by not seeing the fights they want. The big ones that get everyone talking. We are in an era where boxers are protected by promoters. It aggravates fans and the boxers are often blamed despite not asking to be shielded from harm.
Froch vs. Bute
Froch considering Kessler, Ward or Bute for next fight
By Scott Gilfoid: Carl Froch (29-2, 21 KO’s) is now the new IBF super middleweight champion by virtue of his 5th round TKO win over Lucian Bute last Saturday night. Froch is now trying to choose his next opponent. If Bute decides to face him again, then Froch doesn’t have a choice but to face him.
Bute doesn’t plan on retiring
By Scott Gilfoid: After his loss to Carl Froch last Saturday night, former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO’s) made it clear to the media that he DOES NOT intend on retiring from boxing just because of his 5th round TKO loss to Froch. Bute says he wants to take a badly needed vacation, and then come back and discuss with his promoter his options for his next fight.
Carl Froch: What a difference a day makes
By John F. McKenna (McJack): Former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO’s) was a heavy favorite going into Saturday nights showdown with new IBF champion Carl Froch (29-2, 21 KO’s). And make no mistake about it this writer was among those who gave Froch little chance to pull off an upset.
Carl Froch: Is he the best British fighter of all time?
By Dallan O’ Donnell: After his sensational and widely unexpected victory over former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute, one would surely have to consider Carl Froch to be one of greatest fighters of the modern era, if not of all time.
Froch should give Andre Dirrell a rematch
By Scott Gilfoid: Now that Carl Froch (29-2, 21 KO’s) has won the IBF super middleweight title with his victory over Lucian Bute last night, I think boxing fans would like to see Froch give Andre Dirrell (20-1, 14 KO’s) a rematch so that Froch and Dirrell can prove who rightfully is the #2 fighter in the super middleweight division.
Froch: I’d batter Andre Ward when I’m firing on all cylinders
By Scott Gilfoid: It seems that Carl Froch’s 5th round TKO win over IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute last night has planted some ideas in Froch’s head. He’s now saying he thinks he could beat WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward if he’s fighting at the top of his game, presumably like last night.
Froch: That was one hell of a beating I gave Bute
By Sean McDaniel: Former two time WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (29-2, 21 KO’s) could do nothing wrong last night in his fight against IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (30-1, 24 KO’s). Froch bludgeoned the champion Bute, chopping him down in five brutally one-sided rounds at the Nottingham Arena in front of 9000 fans.
Khan motivated by Froch’s win over Bute
By William Mackay: Former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan was in attendance to witness Carl Froch’s win over IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute last Saturday night in Nottingham. The victory really helped to motivate the 25-year-old Khan for his July 14th clash against WBC light welterweight champion Danny Garcia at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Froch thinks Bute’s career may be over with his loss
By Scott Gilfoid: For some reason Carl Froch thinks Lucian Bute’s 5th round stoppage defeat was so bad for him that it will be a “Career-ending” loss for him. I think Froch is really tooting his own horn a bit too much here if he believes his win over Bute will effect him that much.
