Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks

[Violent Demise]

Still a garbage performance by Bute

[Spicoli]

Have Bute winning 4 rounds..at the very most. Pascal pissed alot away, acted a clown

[Spicoli]

" The Canadian p4p"

Roy just cannot give up a stage

[Kirkland Laing]

Pascal has always had a stamina problem and it's not getting any better. Another big payday with Stevenson is obviously the best move for him.

[Beanflicker]

Both these guys stink. I can't believe it.

For YEARS these two were the guys I clung to as the Canadian fighters who would really dominate on the world stage (Bute especially), and I looked at Adonis Stevenson as a guy who would never make it. Boy was I wrong. Adonis is the man in Canada. These guys are jokes.

The French speaking part of Canada is as big on boxing as maybe anywhere else in the world. The Top Rank and GBP of Canada did a joint promotion tonight. Their main event was two guys who were imported because there are a lack of native Canadian boxers to take advantage of the Canadian market. There wasn't a single Canadian boxer on the undercard in the biggest boxing event in Canada for thirty years. This does not augur well for the future of boxing in Canada.

Montreal is the only place in Canada that gives two fucks about boxing. Montreal is a MASSIVE fight city for boxing and MMA (due to the popularity of these guys, and GSP). But yeah, seeing the supposedly two biggest Canadian stars put on a lackluster show like that doesn't bode well for boxing in canada.

How can there not be any prospects though? There's nobody they can put even in a six rounder before the main event for an easy knockout?

Zewski and Gauthier were on the card but yeah boxing is pretty lame in this country east and west of the Quebec border.

After the Froch fight I said Bute should fire his trainer. I still say that today. Bute has not recovered from the Froch beating. I think he's done.

[Silkeyjoe]

Very disappointed with the whole broadcast. Pascal just didn't go for it an maintain the attack. Surely he could have got a stoppage. Perez takam was just awful. Only fighter who looked like he gave his all was gardner

I agree--->the Canadian guy.... haha

[Spicoli]

Pascal said he was being hit on purpose...its all about the rematch. Bute agrees and wants it. WTF

Will sell kidney for Stevenson v Kovalev. Thanks.

[Violent Demise]

No fucking rematch. Retire Bute

[Violent Demise]

Mysteriously? No doubt he was caught in a motel with some hooker
