Froch is champion again..(Boxing)

Carl Froch became a three-time world champion when he hammered Lucian Bute into oblivion on a special night in Nottingham.


Froch, a former two-time WBC super-middleweight title holder, took
the IBF version from the formerly undefeated Bute, who was outclassed
from the outset.

The Cobra, fighting in front of his home fans at the Capital Arena
for the first time in three years, was in stunning form as he took
charge of the fight from the second round.

Landing clean shots at will, Froch hurt his opponent early on and
Bute could never establish himself in the fight as the Briton ripped his
title away.

The end came in the fifth, with Bute trapped on the ropes after
another stunning right hook from Froch, referee Earl Brown stepping iin
to save the outgoing champion from further punishment.


A lot of people wrote me off, in the
magazines, they're re-writing the script. They've got Lucian bute ranked
number one, me ranked at four, so I want that rectified.

"The bookies got it wrong as well, a lot of people made money on me in Nottingham tonight.

"I could not afford to be lazy. As long as I listen to the guru (trainer, Rob McCracken), nothing can go wrong."
