Bute Pascal May 25 - Pascal to receive the help of Roy Jones Jr

[Rantcatrat]

This telegraphing from Pascal, can someone produce some examples while keeping in mind his chronic shoulder issues? Ask Carl Froch if they were telegraphed. The difference for me in this fight in that Bute is mentally destroyed by his fight with Carl. Gym and Interbox are cashing in or out. It would not surprise me to see them milk a trilogy out of this.

Pascal by tko.

Listen, for a moment, give Bute the benefit of the doubt @IamInuit, let's say that the Bute we saw in the last three rounds of the Grachev fight is the Bute that shows up for Pascal. The pre-Froch Bute, or maybe even a post-Froch Bute that is better than the pre-Froch Bute. What then? What if Grachev is tougher than advertised? Maybe he destroys Erdei this weekend in Monaco?

I hope Pascal wins this but he is a long way from the fighter that fought toe to toe with Froch. I hope he has enough to beat Bute.

You didn't have to tell me twice

I'm as big a fan of Bute as you my friend but I think he's damaged goods upstairs. Physically imo he's fine. This fight also answers a question for me and that is I could not figure out why he went to 175 for Grachev when Froch was supposed to be a rematch. I think the Pascal fight in hindsight was already in the works. Look you could be right and I dead wrong. Perhaps Bute walks out in round one and lands one of his monster uppercuts. Pascal is a sucker for that punch I have no dog in the fight and find myself in that odd situation of cheering for both men like Cotto/Shane or Erik/Mab. I wish they were not fighting. That place is going to be lit up.
