Ear-boxing (landing with both gloves simultaneously) should be totally legal. Many people have gotten away with it before, including Manny Pacquiao and Emanuel Augustus off the top of my head, and I see no reason why they shouldn't.
He's so gun shy, it's embarrassing and extremely stupid. You should not get into a boxing ring if you're so gun shy.
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 Round 11: 10-9 Bute 108-101 Pascal
I don't see Bute having much of a future at the top level in either LHW or SMW. He just can't assert himself at all. Maybe I'm looking back with rose-tinted glasses, but feel quite sure Bute from 2 years ago would have handily beaten this weird version of Pascal.
