Found it,the first episode of the 24/7 Pascal vs Bute. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x19erlp_pascal-vs-bute-tva-sport-episode-i-de-iii_sport
Seen half of it. So far it looks like Pascal is doing better on tactical/technical training with Roy and his trainer making him understand his opponent perfectly, his feints his ring movement etc. While Bute seems to be doing a lot of physical/endurance training and some advices about how to react in a situation where he gets in extremely short range exchanges. The problem I have with this is that some videos are from the first training camp. And to assess a situation correctly the first training camp is pretty much irrelevant. I see Pascal having an advantage doing more tactical/technical training then, because most of the high level of physical training that Bute done has been wasted after the operation and break he took.
There's a gay moment in there around 12 min, where Bute reveals that he is recreating mentally by shopping. And on top of that he has bad taste, and if that wasn't enough he admires himself in the mirror. Oh god don't let me see that again.
So basically the first episode was entirely from the first training camp of both fighters. Pascal team is really braking Bute's game tactically. They are really doing their homework. It's worrying.
Ramsay, Pascal' coach, said the tactic work was better this time. I think you are just not used to see that kind of training. Usually, the press cannot shoot these kind of things. They do that for each fight. Same thing for Bute, except you didn't see it. Against Hopkins, Pascal had the same kind of training but still lost. You have to apply the strategy against your real opponent, who is not there to let you do.
Hopkins can adapt, his a master when comes to ring generalship. If Bute is taken from his comfort zone he mentally blocks, at least against Froch and little against Grachev until he started to fight back and actually yelled at him at one point. But initially he mentally blocked in that fight to. Bute is a bit like a programed fighter, you got to insert the program before the fight. So I like that Larouche was sitting with him and doing the close range strategy step by step.

I'm coming back from Bute's public training. He looks sharp, strong and happy. From what I've seen, he could be back to his old style, based on speed more than on raw power. He seems to be mentally strong. We'll see if it stays strong after receiving a couple of blows but for the moment, he looks more like old Bute than the one against Froch and Grachev. He's appreciating the moment.
He was smiling, laughing and having a good time at the Froch weigh in also. And you were all on here saying he's gonna knock out Froch and whatnot. Stop making excuses, Froch beat him fair and square, and would beat him 100/100.
