What time is the main event??

Will it be at stupid oclock in the morning?

Well you guys are 5 hours ahead, so I imagine the main event will be between 1-3am over there. Can't find out for sure right now will let you know when I'm home.

Sky card starts at 1. I presume theyll show Perez, Alvarez and Berbetiev fights too so reckon 3-4 am.

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

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. 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.
