If Watt had it 115-114 to Bute that is hardly the worst score card ever as some people are calling it. I don't think Bute won but the early rounds could have went either way so uncommitted and lack lustre was the performance from both men. Then in the last three rounds Pascal literally stood there and got punched for huge sections of each round even boasting after how he enjoyed the pain of being punched in the head because "..that's boxing baby". What a bell end. You all obviously hate Jim Watt because he doesn't sound like David Niven or Howard Cosell. The American commentators on every single boxing match I have watched in the last ten years are at least a million times worse and far more grating. So embarrassing, uneducated and crass are their performances that pets hurl themselves out of 15th floor windows and birds purposefully fly into the engines of Boeing 747's to avoid hearing any more.
C'mon @
Greenbeanz , you have to watch that again if you thought that was close. I had it 8 rounds to 4 in favour of Pascal. I was being kind of generous to Bute as well.
As for why I don't like Jim Watt, I'm sick of listening to him prattle on when he doesn't seem to see what is actually going on in the ring. He gives an opinion and Sky pundits treat it like it's gospel when he couldn't be more wrong. I've also seen him give a bad scorecard at halfway and upon finding out Harold Lederman has a separate scorecard he evens his up. Watt is awful. Glenn McCrory, Barry McGuigan & Richie Woodhall all do a better job in the co-commentator slot.
