Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks

[ruthless rocco]

if you thought the last fight was boring....

A cunning plan to make everyone miss the main event? Surely that has to be better.

Pascal's gonna blow his shoulder out in the 2nd round...

Happy 2014!

Not one Canadia fighter on the undercard and two transplanted Canadians in the main event. Canada doesn't have any prospects to showcase in an event this size?

Takam is way to well mannered. The last thing fans want is a poor mans 260 lb Rigondeaux ffs. I got shut out Perez

Exactly, he's too fucking polite. It's like he's gone in there to make a new friend rather than fight. He doesn't wanna punch Perez because it might upset him and ruin his plans for a life long friendship.

[IamInuit]

Wow a fight started.

[ruthless rocco]

Mike Perez.... Another HW phony exposed?

[bzkfn]

Wow Takam came alive then. I thought he was going for the finish.

Dude literally bowed to the ref twice, but that 6th he sat in strong and realized he is the opponent

[Spicoli]

He is sapping Perez energy badly. Perez looks achy in the gut...go for the ko

[Bo-Bo24]

Perez should of tried and blitz him in the first 4, the pendulum has swung Takma's way a bit

[superheavyrhun]

This wont be troubling the evening's highlights reel. Shabby boring heavyweights, just what the heavyweight division has come to represent sadly.

[Spicoli]

1,2,3,4,5 Perez.....6,7,8,9 Takam

[IamInuit]

Mike not looking to good

[Spicoli]

Who let Ibeabuchi out of prison here

If only..

[Spicoli]

I have 95-95. As clear a distinction in two halfs of a fight in quite some time I think. Like two 5 rounders

[palmerq]

Think taka would haveko'd him if this had been 12 rounds
