    You should read the entire post. And try to find your sense of humor. IT WAS A JOKE.

    Bute is prepared for along awaiting. I'd say 3 to 5, not less. After 5m, HBO will say ahum to GYM.

    Yeah... at the Froch fight, Bute had more fans again, but Froch really did chant Bute's name, he was so surprised and impressed by the Bute support! :) ...quite funny actually!

    I guess Froch had enough confidence to do that. Instead, Pascal tries to make fans chant his name, without success.

    :!:

    ...Bute is doing a lot better in this poll on ESB than he does with the betting public in the UK... I am a bit surprised.

    Just saw the RDS poll:

    Bute KO 19%
    Bute decision 38%
    Pascal KO 31%
    Pascal decision 12%

    wow! Bute really popular still!...

    A lot of people are picking Pascal by KO...too many.

    Pascal is not a pressure fighter. He fights at the same pace as Bute, which may actually benefit Bute.

    He could catch Bute with a shot he can't see coming, but I see this going the distance. Neither of these guys will press for a KO unless it comes to them, though Bute will apply more pressure than Pascal. If Bute reminds focused throughout, he could win the fight down the stretch when Pascal's stamina fails him.

    Buffer is shot, he introduces Bute as former LHW champion 2x before correcting himself

    Yeah, I noticed that to. :lol: Also seen in this video that I haven't the the TVA recording, that Buffer hugged the **** out of Bute and used the bro hand shake. He must like the guy, he was in Romania to for him. Maybe it's because his wife is Romanian... IDK

    I think he also said Pascal had only one defeat instead of two.

    Also didn't noticed in the TVA Sports video, that Pascal felt the need to take few sips of some kind of drink, just before the face-of, couldn't abstain himself longer, probably having to dehydrates himself to an extreme to make the weight.

    This reminded me of the ESPN experts who made short talked-show preview for this fight saying that Pascal was inactive for 13 months, and didn't mention anything about Bute inactivity.
    :patsch

    Hey guys, warning.....rant coming...

    Ya so I've been watching a lot of youtube predictions on this fight and they're starting to **** me off. None of them provides any really break down and they all say the same thing. Essentially every expert on Youtube is hedging their prediction by saying that Pascal should win because Bute is damaged goods but if Bute is mentally recovered from the Froch fight he will out box Pascal. That is rubbish. A simple break down of styles in this fight can tell you who`s going to win this thing. Instead most of these guys seem more interested in talking about the fight in a way that doesn`t leave themselves open to criticism (either for their predictions or ability to actually analyze a fighters ability and style). I know this is pretty much the case for all youtube warriors but and I`ve pretty much come to expect this now from most of the channels I used to respect. But this one pissed me off more then most because its actually an easy fight to call and instead of doing so they are literally all saying the exact same thing.

    A bit unrelated to the thread topic but ya I had to write that somewhere.
