Re: The Bute/Pascal fight decision is unsatisfactory!
Pascal didn't impress; Bute didn't try...The picked the the lesser of the two evils. If you can step into a ring and not try where your life is on the line and someone's trying to knock your head off. You deserve to lose.
There were some rounds where butes punch stats were in the low single digits. The fact that Pascal was doing stupid crap like double punching and looking away made it that much worse. Lets face it, if bute had ko'd him with an uppercut from hell in that giftwrapped barrage opportunity from pascal, ... We'd be calling bute lucky and pascal a fool (still)
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
