Article about Jim Watt's scoring of Pascal-Bute

[smashup]

Sky should use Ritche Woodhall as a co commentator.

By far the best man for the job

Really... what did Pascal do aside from 10 second flurries at the end of the rounds? Flurries that half of the shots landed. Bute scored the entire round... from start to finish. Had better technique and showed some real ring-generalship.

If anything, because the fight truly proved nothing, I would have given both of them a draw. Really!

Yet again showing how you are unable to score a boxing match

Swinging wildly and hoping something lands in a 10-15 punch flurry is NOT boxing. Not in my books!

10-15 punches is being generous

hoping something lands doesnt count but landing punches does count. pascal landed some punches in his flurries. its not like he missed them all.

do you think that throwing a few jabs and counter punches a round very timidly is boxing? Not in my books!

Then it all comes down to who has better form? By far it was Bute.

[powerpuncher]

it comes down who had better form? you mean when pascal landed quite a few clean punches in every round while bute rarely landed? that makes sense. do you love bute or do you hate pascal?

What a pathetic article. How can you admit to not hearing the commentary but have the arrogance to criticise it? Ridiculous.

Watt said all through the fight, with not much happening it's possible you can interpret these rounds different.

[Vendettos]

I grew up less than 3 streets from Jim Watts family, my best mate of 20+ years had a grandfather who trained us and some of the top Glaswegian boxers including a young Ricky Burns, he also fought Watt in the amateurs and was close with him and because of this I've met Watt on a few occasions.

So you'd think after all that, that I may have a biased opinion and really like Watt.

But no he is an absolute dick when it comes to scoring fights. Granted I didn't have the gap nearly as wide as the judges but pascal clearly won the fight.

Every card I watch he annoys me, I hate his voice, and it's made worse because my accent is identical. I just hope I don't sound like a tool when I talk about boxing.

My thoughts exactly

Jim Watts scoring is bad at times

he is one of the most entertaining commentator across the channels tho

i watch american commentating and they just love the sound of their own voices, i remember the america v britain contender thing in newcastle and the american commontators completely spoilt it

they need to learn that it isnt all about what they thing about everything that has ever happened in boxing in hostory and it is about making the action more watchable

each one was just waiting for their chance to talk and then once they got in they just went on and on, less is more sometimes

pauls smith on boxnation is utterly boring

jim watt adds to the fight entertainment

Bute should be ashamed of himself for taking a paycheck for that performance. The guy actually has the nerve to call himself a fighter after following his opponent around for 11 rounds and doing nothing.
He said the same thing himself and then has the balls to say yes when Kellerman asks him if he wants another go at Pascal.
As far as I'm concerned Bute is finished, it now takes him 11 rounds to work up enough nerve to fight for one round.
They should keep RJJ away from Pascal, if Roy keeps telling him how good he is his head might explode.

are people in this thread actually agreeing with watt? i think that you could give bute 4 rounds at most. i gave him 3. pascal fought like he normally does which is in flurries but bute didnt even throw punches. the fight was not even close. it wasnt that pascal was great, it was that bute was terrible.

Yes, Pascal dominated the fight and fought in spurts as is his norm. The fight was not close at all, although I was worried for Pascal at the start of the 12th. He was gassed and taking a lot of punches.
