Froch's crown

CARL Froch stopped Lucian Bute in the fifth round in his hometown of Nottingham, England, on Saturday to claim the IBF super-middleweight title. The popular Briton, a two-time former WBC champion, was regarded as the underdog heading into the contest against the unbeaten Bute, the Romanian-born Canadian who was making his 10th title defense. The 34-year-old Froch improved to 29-2 with his 20th knockout. The 32-year-old Bute's record fell to 30-1 with 24 KOs.
