yeah id say froch won that with work rate, probably had the same amount landed
froch 10-9 for me. maybe 10-10 though - both had spells.
another round for froch in my opinion. i reckon a good bet would be froch to knock the ref out 
Bute knows he will have to dig deep to win
Doesn't look likely to me

Huge TV audience in Canada? Um nobody cares about boxing in Canada.
movement looks poor from bute, injury cud b still worse than they were sayin
10-8 round.
30-26.
Hope froch hasnt punched himself out
30-26.
Hope froch hasnt punched himself out
how is this geezer still standing, 10-8 in my opinion, literally getting smashed for 2 and a half minutes.
Froch 30-27 but don't agree with Watt , Bute not in so much trouble imo
1.25 Froch but if he doesn't stop Bute he's liable to knacker himself
bute showed a quality chin! took huge shots that round.
that was a massive shot literally on the bell, not quite 10-8 so another froch 10-9 round so froch is 5 points up through 4 rounds for me.
ref took too long there
why on earth start a count ? was totally gone

froch's promoter, eddie hearn, barry hearn's (the snooker bloke) son
tremendous from Froch, never expected that

ref should have let him go and started counting, and if he didn't get to 10, let him carry on
I've seen this recently. If that ref was giving a count and Hearn jumped in, it's a DQ.
ref was a joke there
let him take far too many shots
let him take far too many shots
wtf Hearn going in the ring for during the count
Froch could have been DQ'd
Froch could have been DQ'd
he was totally gone and would have got hurt badly if it went wrong.
Could of got Froch disqualified by running into the ring to quick.
Ref should have stopped it earlier, hope Bute is ok. Could have done some serious damage
ref hung around way too long, guy was getting a right beating
froch was awesome, amazing how some people don't rate him.
Can't see how Bute could ever win. He can't knock Froch out and he wouldn't fancy a 12 round war.
ref an absolute disgrace - would have let Bute continue if corner man had n't tapped him on the shoulder - Bute could've got seriously hurt if that fight went any further.
bute a good man, such a gentleman in defeat, nice to see. clapping.
Of course i didn't put my money where my mouth is-typical-on another note Frochs woman is smoking
ive just realised why bute was so bad, McC|_|nt was tipping him to win
Got to hand it to Froch. He might not be in the same class as Andre Ward but he has proved himself beyond doubt the second best super middle on the planet.
SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT THAT, BUTE WOULDN'T THROW HIS LEFT, JUST KEPT IT DOWN BY HIS SIDE.
FROCH IS A TOUGH FIGHTER BUT HE AINT THAT GOOD TO WIN IN THAT STYLE, HE NORMALLY STARTS SLOW ANYWAY, NEVER SEEN A CHAMPION THROW SO FEW PUNCHES.

well done froch, but as i said earlier, every chance bute was still carrying more of an injury 2 his foot than his camp were letting on
Andre Ward is in a different class to rest in this division.

While a fighter can still throw a punch, a fight shouldn't be stopped
If he had carried on he would have probably got knocked out within 15 more seconds anyway, but he has to have that chance to throw a lucky haymaker, which was what he was trying to do all through the fight

Froch hand speed was unreal and you see he is more heavy handed than people realise, fair play to him.
he was in no position to defend himself, tmp - them's the rules.
nothing "fishy" bout it at all. he did in fairness 2 himself delare the infection 2 his foot b4 the fite, but must have had some impact. not complaining neways, baldfred 2/1 froch got sum of my cash. rematch will b diff story..
twomatchpoints, bute couldnt tell you his name never mind throw a punch ffs.
if they had a rematch , froch would knock him out in 2 rounds max.
propped up by the ropes but ref counted it as a knockdown because he started counting.
One of Bute's problems is that he does n't go down - saw same in the previous fight he won with the 35 second count.

Rematch ?
lol, Bute's career is over. Never going to be a rematch. It would be the easiest payday for gamblers if they were crazy enough to get back in the ring.
STILL NOT HAVING IT THAT BUTE WAS FULLY FIT, SOMETHING WASN'T RIGHT WITH HIM, HARDLY THREW A PUNCH, KEPT HIS LEFT DANGLING DOWN BY HIS SIDE, DIDN'T LOOK TO GET INVOLVED TOO MUCH.
HE TOTALLY SAT BACK, NORMALLY HE FIGHTS ON THE FRONT FOOT WITH HIS JAB, THAT AINT HIS STYLE AS HE HAS A GREAT JAB AND NEVER LOOKE4D TO THROW IT.

it wasn't a secret ffs. if u didn't know he cud hav been a bit short on fitness, more fool u. man up and move on.
Bute was out of his depth tonight, for me froch has never fully got the credit he deserves.
A world class fighter (big puncher, granite chin and heart!!).

hate wen u get all the wannabes tryna get in on the act, fook off kell brook ur useless ffs
Thats all boxing is about to promote yourself on a different bill.
He may be a warrior but technically he is pretty average and was exposed by a real world class boxer in Andre Ward last time out.
