As a heavy Bute fan and friend, I give Bute a 41% chance of winning due to unexpected body counters or counters in general. He'll hold a stronger punch at this weight as well. Both will have extreme ring rust, but Pascal is the hungrier opponent here. I wish Bute the best possible fight. Regardless, it will be a REALLY GOOD fight!
Why do you think that Pascal is the hungrier man? Both men are hungry: they both lost their crown and are fighting for pride.
Look, Bute ain't no Augie Sanchez. But once he's hit hard, he reacts the wrong way. Starts holding on akwardly. And that's where Pascal is even more brutal and stronger than Froch, when you try to hold on to him. Ask Hopkins who opted out of that strategy.

I think Pascal's he actually finished his fight with Froch also Diaconu was a big puncher seemed to take it well, Pascals' just seem tp be more proven
I don't agree, Bute is more driven than I ever seen him. He is almost shivering with the desire to get back into that ring. He certainly is better physically(not having doubts for his hand) and because of that also mentally is in a perfect place, considering the wedding and all it seems everything works in our boy's favor to be able to give his best. But it might not be enough. One simple fact is that if his chin has gone forever, he has no chance. If he was because of the weight, then we can still hope.
Before the Andrade fight he had a food poisoning that made him lose lots of weight(9-10 lbs) as a reaction to antibiotics.
I don't believe the fight could be fixed. Too many people involved to keep the secret and honestly, we are not in Germany here. No Sauerland involved.
