Can't believe how much people are sleeping on Bute... One bad (atrocious?) fight and he's the greatest bum ever. Bute will pick Pascal apart.
Bute needs his opponent at mid range to be effective. Pascal will be far outside, than rush in to throw a flurry, rinse and repeat. Bad style for Bute, so I'll pick Pascal.
Has Canadian Boxing been popular since The Razor retired? There hasn't been any interest in boxing AT ALL in at least Southern Ontario since Lewis beat up old Tyson.
If bute avoid the ropes then Pascal has no skills to KO Bute . In the central ring space Bute movement and technique is superior to Pascal . In my opinion if Bute has learned something from Froch - that is to stay away from ropes (like in Bute-Andrade 2 rematch ) . I vote for Bute win by Ko 10 round !
I expect: - Bute to return as a beast or - Pascal to end his career This fight in my opinion will not end after 12 rounds. Bute is top 10 p4p for me, incredibly talented boxer, but Froch may have damaged him.
He lived for over 10 years in Canada, and has Canadian citizenship, but he is born in Romania, from Romanian parents.
:deal I pick Pascal to stop him, but only if it happens in first half of the fight since Pascal really cant fight in high pace more than half of fight.
