Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks

[p4pking]

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.

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

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
