Jean Pascal - Lucian Bute, fight discussion thread and picks

[Tam Seddon]

Both former champs, but no doubt are both good fighters in my eyes. This is apparently this Mayweather-Pacquiao of Canadian boxing, so theres a lot at stake for both fighters and im sure they will both be extra hyped for this one. A win does put either fighter back into contention for pushing for a title so its a very important fight for both of their careers IMO. I think Bute is a bit busier than Pascal, but Bute has shown he can be hit as well. Pascal needs a good start and be able to hurt Bute. Im not too sure who to pick in this one, as I could see either fighter winning, but maybe slightly leaning towards Bute.

Pascal has fought once in the past one year.. inactivity combined with bad shoulder doesnt look to good.

Bute beats him.

[Tam Seddon]

I could agree with that, hes fought twice since losing to B hop in may 2011. Bute hasn't looked the best though in his last couple of outings, but no doubt has shown in the past his worth.

[Tam Seddon]

Bute also didn't fight in 2013

[bradlee180]

Nonsense, neither guy is Canadian.

Pascal will come to fight, but will get the $#!t knocked out of him and knocked out by a Bute crushing left to the body inside 7 rds. It'll be a good scrap while it lasts...

[FinitoElDinamita]

Pascal should rematch dawson if he loses.. there is some unfinished business there as far as im concerned..

[Hulk]

[FinitoElDinamita]

Do we have a gentlemen's bet? Sig bet..

I'm not that passionate about this fight, but sure why not.

[Spicoli]

I go Bute..but honestly I just want the winner to hurry up and sign vs Kovalev and get ko'd

Pascal is a pretty disappointing fighter, just always seems to be waiting for something

Pascal for me
