Article about Jim Watt's scoring of Pascal-Bute

[ykdadamaja]

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?

I like Pascal more than I like Bute. I always thought Bute was a hype to a great degree. But that fight with Pascal, to me, is un-resolved.

The fight proved nothing. Pascal really didn't "win"... he got a decision. Big difference.

[powerpuncher]

when you say he didnt "win," do you mean that he didnt prove that he was good? i dont mind that definition but when you get the decision then you do "win" the fight.

Jimmy is not the only one to score this fight closer then most did. I find the guy is usually bang on when he calls a fight and pretty much picks up all the subtle things that many people miss. Pascal imo did steal some rounds in the last 30 seconds at times but Bute simply didn't do anything and was scared to throw lest he get caught with a weird corkscrew counter from an even weirder angle. He really looked like he wanted to go in the dressing room and looked serious on the runway unlike against Froch where it looked like he wanted to take his wagon and go home. His punch output was pathetic and Pascal was wide open for that almost patentable midway uppercut and he never threw it. His lack of output was matched only by his connect percentage. That's not based on some pimply faced employee on a clicker but on what I saw. Not sure what Jim saw that I didn't and I respect him both as a fighter and commentator but Lucian never pulled the trigger. I think Froch stole his soul and he's simply not up to it anymore. He's mentally done.

Ps- They should never interview Pascal again. He's a blithering idiot and Max looked absolutely disgusted and I cant blame him.
