It's been decided already

i skipped to the end, pascal winning 8 rounds, that doesnt seem all that likely

 

Could happen.. How many did Pascal win against Dawson? 6/7 out of 11? If that is possible against Dawson, then it should be against Bute too..

 

:good

What do you reckon, is the fight likely to be fairly refereed and judged?

 

I don't see why it shouldn't be.. Do you have any reason to doubt that?

 

None except the 'let's make the fight appear very competitive and close so that we can cash in on a rematch' reason.

 

indeed, they will make this fight to look "close" and "competitive" to cash in even more from the rematch.

into a real-unfixed boxing match Pascal T/K.O's Bute in the early rounds. I won't be surprised if Bute wins this fight by UD/MD.

money talks. :yep

 

Watching that has got me seriously hyped for this bout, key difference in nearly every clip is Pascal is doing the business against a higher caliber of opponent. If he can reproduce his best form on the night its difficult to pick against him. Maybe for these ratings it should incorporate each fighters experience going into the bout.

 

In my opinion if pascal starts winning that many rounds he will take Bute out of there, I was saying before that it is unlikely Pascal will win that many rounds vs Bute because I dont think Bute can survive that much dominance from Pascal.

maybe it should, but these ratings dont show the complete fighters ability, i did say some attributes are missing, things like experience and form should maybe go into future ratings

:good

 

Pascal is much quicker, you were way off on that one.

 

I dont agree, pascals got quick hooks thats about it, his jab is slow and so is rest of his punches, Bute's punches always seems to catch his opponents in suprise.

Its just an opinion, how would you score the rest

 

Pascal stops him. Both fighters don't have the best stamina but the one who will have to work the most is the man backing off which is Bute. I expect Pascal to get to him possibly mid rounds and eventually stop him. If Bute wants to win this he has to commit to his counters and seriously hurt/discourage Pascal's aggression. This is a very interesting fight.

 

Bute is the better fighter by a significant margin. However, he doesn't have a chin. So yeah, this fight could go in two very different directions. Bute could dominate him for every second of every round; however, there will always be the risk of an impending knock out, no matter how tired, hurt or dejected Pascal is.
