After Bute beats the breaks off of Pascal, the rematch will be pretty useless. And even if he beats Pascal in the rematch, the #1 LHW in Bute probably won't even fight him. Why do that when the Super Six is losing a fighter and he could go after whoever that is, and continue to rule 168?
Its a long road back to the top, but I believe he has a chance to redeem himself. He just needs to work on his technique, and do whatever it takes to get the speed he lost back because he looked slow as s**t tonight. Oh and grow some balls.
The blueprint seems fairly simple to me:
1)Beat Cloud
2)Beat Pascal
3)If Pascal lost to Bute, then beat Bute
Game over. He either does it or he doesn't. Regardless, his destiny is still in his hands. If Bute does beat Pascal, and Chad beats Cloud AND Pascal, then Bute is going to have to fight Chad or come off as looking like a ducker deluxe.
