    At this point I'd have to go with Pascal by KO, Bute didn't look very good at all in his comeback fight. I wouldn't be completely surprised if Bute managed to outbox Pascal to a decision but I doubt it.

    What a great atmosphere this will be! Even better now because the glory-hunting local celebrities who wanted to be seen at Bute's events when Bute was still unbeaten won't be there!

    One for the fans, because both have so much to prove this time! Who is the man in Montreal? We'll see! Biggest fight of their career for both of them.

    Pascal by early KO he's a beast in the early stages of fights and he saw what Froch did....he's faster and equally powerful, his ambush style will get Bute out of there.

    When was the last time Froch brutalised someone before he annihilated Bute?

    Ouch....the fight is at 175 and every extra pound on the scale will cost 200 000$! Knowing that, Pascal won't do the same thing than in his last fight where he didn't even make 175.

    I am thinking Pascal stops him. I am not making a definite prediction yet as I haven't thought this through thoroughly, but my instincts tell me Pascal has the style and power to knock Bute out.

    Pascal has never KO'd a good fighter. I'm not even talking about an elite fighter, just a good fighter.

    Key question here. Was Bute draining himself lately at SMW, will he have better power, stamina and more important punch-resistance at 175 ?

    Tough tough fight this. Both fighters will be asked a lot of questions. I think it's going to be one of those ones where the one who wants it more wins.

    I think Pascal can and very possibly will bang him out in the first 5 rounds, but if Bute shows how much he wants it he can come back and win a close decision.

    Pascal vs. Froch could have went either way imo, the score cards were a disgrace yet Froch fans try to complain about the Kessler score cards. The thing is though froch can apply constant pressure, Pascal has more counter punching ability and skill and power but nowhere near the same work rate and stamina as Froch.


    To those trying to knock Pascal's power get real he has very good pop a solid chin and a lot of skills, Bute can outbox him but he will need to weather the early storm imo just as Froch, Hopkins, Dawson had to who were all hurt early on against Pascal.

    Pascal had Froch hurt badly a few times and dropped Hopkins twice. Both guys with solid beards and believe me everyone he has ever boxed in his professional career is a good fighter, why don't you try boxing?

    You all blind? He fought Grachev at LHW and looked slower. Though he had better power.

    Really? Thanks, I didn't know that. Pascal is very small as height he could have a real surprise!
