Bute by UD, maybe 116-112. He is a better boxer, and faster on his feet, but Pascal can hurt him and knock him out.
Bute is just so sharp in counterpunching. he would force Pascal to expose himself to connect. Bute UD
Pascal is getting better and better, but it's true. On the big level these mistakes (like getting off balance after ducking shots) would cost him. Pascal has all the tools to box a la Jermain Taylor and it's a waste in that sense..
I like Pascal alot but I think Bute would win on points probably. Bute is busier than Pascal and has a better technique.
And Bute will someday move to LHW for sure, He started his career there and is pretty big for a SMW. I hope we will have a Pascal-Bute match in 1 or 2 years.
Indeed,but Bute is getting better himself. Pascal has the tendency to stay flat footed,go straight back,take pictures. But he should definetely stay at LHW IMO.
hypotetical at what weight? things may be different by then, pascal may become irrelevant, 2 years is a lot of time to lose
