Bute's promoter signed a 3 fights deal with Pascal. Pascal will fight Don George on the same card as Bute on december 6. I expect to see Bute-Pascal 2 next fall. Hopefully Bute can improve with Roach and we get a better fight second time around.
Interbox made a great deal on this one. If somehow Bute loses his next fight and show signs that he cannot go back to the top, Interbox will still have a big draw at 175lbs to keep their business alive.
He looks in great shape, under Freddie Roach. Bute is gonna clean up the whole division! Make it happen please: Bute vs. Kovalev and Bute vs. Pascal, and then Bute vs. that Kazakh fraud Golovkin. Kovalev and Pascal are both top 20 p4p in my opinion. https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net...=87cf432ef7275137b84a5d2a6cc69f75&oe=54D7BE34
I would watch that. If you take a look at the final rounds there's a good indication that Bute can beat Pascal if he just had his confidence that Froch took from him. Of course there's the matter of Pascal fading in later rounds, but it looked like that wasn't the whole story.
Right. And Bute with all this great wins is the real deal....... Anyway, a rematch of Pascal/Bute would be acceptable, although not ideal.
Well that won't sell. Everybody knows Bute is shot. The first fight was not entertaining at all. Why go for a second one. Pascal needs to get in there with Kovalev or Stevenson, not Bute.
Yep. Pacal lasts eight rounds. (four times longer than Bute) So it still ends up being a shorter night's work than Hopkins was. :yep
Pascal would still be the most explosive fighter Kovalev have fought. Few question mark are on Kovalev's since he went against Boone and in his last fight prior to Hopkins. I wouldn't bet my house on a Pascal's win, but he might have a chance.
