ARe you the one asking for objectivity??? COme on. Yes Bute is cautious. Pascal WAS against Diaconu. AFter the 5th or 6th he began to backpedal (not saying its wrong!) Pascal fought a smart fight. He sometimes stayed in front of Diaconu and got rocked (thats why the fight was interesting until the end because you always got the feeling DIaconu could end it). The fighting scared is a bit funny. Some fighter try not to get it (some try too much): Bute, Klitshcko, PBF come to my mind. Drop the BUte ass ****. This doesnt elevate any debate.
Yes, being on backpedal most of the fight, fighting most of the time on the outside. If you call this fighting scared...its your opinion, you are not objective but its normal, isn't it ?
Also, had BUte fought scared all the way against Andrade we wouldnt be talking about that 12th round.
There's a difference between boxing and being unwilling to engage. I'm not saying Bute is ALWAYS unwilling.. but when he is.. he's a bore to watch.
Only if Pascal don't lose to grandpa Branco. By the way....why he has to fight Branco...this Branco don't seem worthy at all.
