    Comments Thread For: Bute vs. Pascal Announcement is Expected Shortly

    The Canadian super-fight between Jean Pascal (27-2, 16KOs) and Lucian Bute (31-1, 24KOs) is reportedly done and all of the osbstacles have been cleared. A formal announcement is expected shortly for May 25th at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. The match will take place at light heavyweight, with Bute moving up from his career weight of 168-pounds. Promoters InterBox and Groupe Yvon Michel have agreed on all of terms. At the moment, souces are stating that Bute-Pascal will be shown by HBO - with the rematch between Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler being televised by the network on the same night. An agreement was worked out with WBC light heavyweight Chad Dawson, who was scheduled to face Pascal on the same night.

          It will be intriguing to see what Bute has left to offer. Big event for Canadian boxing.

              looks like bute really wanted to make this fight happen as he's not asking for a catchweight and has declined to fight pascal in the past...gotta give him props for that

              I don't think bute will win it but pascal has been plagued with injuries during fights so it's kind of a make it or break it fight for both

                  Damn I might make the trip to Montreal to see this, should be a decent fight the two big draws in Montreal going at it. I'm kinda surprised Bute is moving up in weight, I wonder if he wins he will stay there or go back down to 168. Props to Bute for going up to Pascal's weight.

                          It's great that this is finally happening, but why didn't they meet as world champions a couple of years ago?

                                  If I'm not mistaken Pascal wanted the fight but Bute turned him down.

                                      ^^^^^This.

                                      It took years for team Bute to finally accept Pascal's challenge.


                                      Can't wait to see it, I'll be at the olympic stadium for sure !!
