not true i'm afraid he milked a paper strap and when he stepped up against froch he got exposed (I don't like that word but it fits here)
Round 10 Hard rights to the body by Pascal, cranking up the left hook behind the neck when Bute moves into it to escape those rights downstairs. Clinch. Bute pushes down on Pascal's head. Headbutt. Time in. Bute is bleeding. Bute waves a few right jab feints and gets skewered with a right hand on the sternum, tapping Pascal on the back of the head with a boom-lowering left. Wide left uppercut by Bute downstairs, clapping partially on Pascal's crossed arms as he leans back. Right hand to the chest by Pascal. Jabs by Bute. Long left jabs flicked out by Pascal. Overhand right by Pascal, missing but backing Bute up. Bute walks into the next overhand right. 10-9 Pascal 98-92 Pascal
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 Round 8: 10-9 Pascal Round 9: 10-9 Pascal Round 10: 10-9 Pascal 99-91 Pascal
Well he never beat fighter of Pascal level...remember Bute never proved him self at highest level and plus this isnt his weight class. Would not call him shot more that he never was as good as people thought.
