Re: Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks
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.
Re: Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, who have you got to win??
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?

Haha, you're probably right man I don't bet at all was just curious:p. Get tempted to before fights now and then but maybe I couldn't anyways, wouldn't surprise me. +433 between rounds 4-9 is tasty for sure, good luck with that it's quite likely imo.

Gamblor has definitely got his neon claws in me. Cant resist a flutter on the boxing
Re: Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks
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 beast
Re: Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks
Artur Beterbiev (4-0, 4KO’s) defeated journeyman Gabriel Lecrosnier by TKO 4.

Froch has a hard run to the top and apart from the two andres he has always found a way.
In regards to this fight between pascal and bute what happens to the winner and the looser in the aftermath..whats lined up next?
Loser could fight Kessler.
Winner would likely be another big canadian fight with stevenson.
That's the way I see it. The winner will fight Stevenson for a fat payday. I don't see the loser fighting Kessler who would be a very hard fight for these two.
Re: Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks
This fight is starting to turn into a sparring match type fight. Hopefully Alvarez turns it up and ends this
Re: Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks
decent fight considering the difference in experience and talent.
Re: Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks
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?
