Sky card starts at 1. I presume theyll show Perez, Alvarez and Berbetiev fights too so reckon 3-4 am.
I do, in BC on the very west coast.Quote:

For those who use this medium to watch, Guru and Wizi have it listed at 2 a.m. UK time. With the Perez, Alvarez and main event listed.
I got lucian
Looking forward to this one, I enjoyed both of Froch's victories over these Canadians, and I just think that Pascal's style is more suited to beating Bute than vice versa. Bute doesn't seem that comfortable under pressure and when he is caught, and that is almost certainly something Pascal will achieve.
I'll call it for Pascal in 7 or 8.
Is anyone putting money on this fight? Thought it'd be interesting to check out some odds, seems they are kind of all over the place. I don't gamble or know if that's normal, but for me there could be money to be made in betting on the under. I found about even -115 odds for 11.5 rounds on one site, and a +120 under 9.5 rounds, -160 over on another. Every chance this does go the distance, but to me if either guy is really fired up for it they should win earlier than that. Oddly enough Bute is the favourite everywhere to win a decision if it does go 12, from what I've found. A Pascal decision could also be a pretty smart bet:dontknow:
I backed Pascal by KO at 13/8 (+165ish) and dutched him in rounds 4-9 at 10/3 (+433). I think Bute is the fan favorite here and if goes the distance could be given a few extra rounds from crowd cheers etc. Who you bet with in BC? I thopught you guys only had playnow and they dont allow betting on fighting?Quote:

Gamblor has definitely got his neon claws in me. Cant resist a flutter on the boxingQuote:

I placed some bets on Bute. I'm not 100% confident, because he may be past his prime. I've been a fan of his since 2007, and I've found when he's 100% focused he's a very, very good fighter.
Perez should easily beat Takam.
There's several good up-and-comers on the undercard:
Rivas
Beterbiev
Zewski

Beterbiev looks a beastQuote:

Have you the fight order? Do u know when Perez and Alvarez are up?Quote:

This fight is starting to turn into a sparring match type fight. Hopefully Alvarez turns it up and ends this
decent fight considering the difference in experience and talent.
Alvarez needs to end this. It's starting to bore me
It's easy to be critical as a fight fan, and I can't be asked to think of something constructive. Snoozer, is it over yet?Quote:

Alvarez is a little bitch!
What a cunt. Hope he gets KOd when he steps up
Was there some bad blood between Alvarez and Gardner before the fight?
Exactly, not only does he let Gardner drag him into a dull fight, he than acts like a twat afterwards. Send him to fight somewhere decent and he'll quickly be knocked out.Quote:

I get that Alvarez was frustrated but has to show some class. Hes from a nasty area in Colombia so doubt he understands the meaning of respect!Quote:

Respect to Perez. No idea how a fighter balances that kind of tragedy, some don't at all.
Not a good sign for Takam that the one fighter who beat him was destroyed in 1 round by Perez
Perez looks real tentative.
Perez Takam not doing much, Takam just stepping back, and back..
Better in that round. Some nice straight lefts.
Perez is staying on the front foot, walking him down. Takam banking all on sneak short right counter
Always gonna be tough for perez coming back after the last fight. Hope he can still step up to the plate.
