imo I think Pascal ( whos a more athletic,skillful and explosive fighter than Froch ) can do to Bute the same thing that Bika did to Jean Paul Mendy i.e to end the fight in 1 or 2 rounds (I know that bika was disqualified but u got the idea ) ... but , but I suspect they will make this fight to look "close", only because in this way they could have a second and then maybe a third bout that could generate huge numbers !:yep So I expect something like a "MD" or "SD" in favor of Pascal ! the only competitive fight for Bute at LHW I see, its against Dawson !:yep poll added !
Pascal KO 11? I think Pascal has this covered in 4 or 5, Froch style. You do not want to mess with Pascal in the earlier parts of the fight. Bute is moving up in weight I think, so Pascal will be the tigers jaws.
Bute will win. Much more talent than Pascal. Boxing fans..one (devastating) loss and then every body can beat you... Pascal is NOT Froch. He will try is messy in and out burst, throw is wild punches... I don't know how it will end. COuld be short with one of his killer uppercut, body or head, or a clear UD.
Pascal's inactivity could work in Bute's favor, and he has terrible stamina later in the fight. If he can't get Bute out of there in the first 4 or 5 rounds, I think Bute has a pretty decent chance. I'm curious to see which one of these two will take the role of aggressor, since they both like to be counterpunchers.
Bute need to stay alive for 4 or 5 rounds and he'll win by late tko or UD. Pascal only chance is to knock him out. JP is not a very good boxer, he's wide and fight only in spark cuz of his stamina problem. Bute with the good mindstate is much better all around than Pascal, but since Froch he may be damaged for good.
do u think they will make this fight to be "close" for the eventual $$$ rematches or it will be a serious-competitive bout ?
Bute, probably by TKO or even KO. They he will knock Froch out when they fight. His loss made him a much better fighter.....................
