I have to disagree, I believe Pascal cake walked to the win.
Bute didn't have any venom behind any punches and pascal came on strong at the end of the rounds which was all he needed to beat a very tame Bute.

You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
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.

again showing u cant score a fight. All you have to do is enough to beat the other guy. Let me give u a breakdown of the fight:
Round 1 - Bute landed 4 of 15 punches, Pascal 6 of 35. In fairness was a close round. I gave it to Bute
Round 2 - Bute landed 6 of 22 Pascal 16 of 43. Late flurry by Pascal hurt Bute, clearly a Pascal round
Round 3 - Close round, gave it to Bute
Round 4 to 7 - clear Pascal rounds, outlanded and out threw Bute in every round with most of Bute shots being pawing jabs
Round 8 - close round, pascal out landed again 10 from22 versus 8 from 30 for Bute, again Butes mainly jabs, I gave it to Pascal, possibly 10 10 round
9 - Clear Pascal round out landing Bute 18 to 9
10 -clear pascal round out landing again 21 to 12
11 - Landed the same 19/41 each. I gave to Pascal because he looked to hurt Bute again at the end. Can see the other way too tho so will give to Bute
12 - Bute landed twice as many as Pascal. Butes round because Pascal did nothing
Score 113 Bute 116 Pascal being extremely generous to Bute still have Pascal winning comfy
One thing for sure, I am pretty disappointed in bute. He has the skills to beat PAscal but apparently he didn't recover mentally from the Froch episode and decided to come an fight... one round. He wants a revenge but I think that first, he should seek help to put him back on the path to self confidence.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
Bute seemed to take a good punch in his last fight against Denis Grachev. It just didn't carry over to the Pascal fight.
Effective punching does NOT mean punches landed. You know nothing about boxing. Anything the compu-box tells you you accept, hook, line and sinker.
If punch-stats meant a damn thing then Calzaghe's slapping all the time and wrist punches would make him the most effective puncher, ever.

Isn't there an immediate rematch clause?
It's not what rounds I gave Bute, is what rounds I didn't want to give to Pascal. Which were quite a few rounds. This fight should have been a draw! A Majority Draw. They should do this again, because it means nothing.
And I would agree with a rematch. It may not be as boring as many would imagine.
