5-1 Pascal. Bute needs to start throwing more. He's lacking confidence in himself right now. He can land those punches if he throws them.
Pascal has outlanded Bute 81 to 47 through six, per CompuBox. (Bute is landing at 32%, having thrown 147...Lampley didn't mention how many Pascal has thrown so far...)
Well usually I would say Pascal needs to up it. I mean he does but Bute is doing **** all even with Pascals low work rate he's still commiting to punches unlike Bute who just looks terrified and shell shocked. Pascal can just cruise this. But as a spectacle it's really poor.
Round 1: 10-9 Pascal Round 2: 10-9 Pascal Round 3: 10-9 Bute Round 4: 10-9 Pascal Round 5: 10-9 Pascal Round 6: 10-9 Pascal Round 7: 10-9 Pascal 69-64 Pascal
What's frustrating is that Bute refuses to throw power punches. He need to commit and throw in combination.
Round 7 Pascal is waiting on the outside, leaning over to his right, staying clear of the long Bute right jab, and pouncing in with right hands on the chin. Bute is partially blocking them with his left glove fixed in place and turning with them. Looping shots by Pascal, backing Bute into the ropes and bashing him, knocking his arms down as he wings in powerful lefts and rights around the sides. Pascal quiets down and eases off. Bute spears out some right jabs on the face. Pascal gets annoyed and dives in with a right hand up top. Rights to the body by Pascal. Bute leans forward into a head-snapping left jab. Bute jabs the body and hops in place as Pascal navigates around him. 10-9 Pascal 68-65 Pascal
