You don't need to be a pressure fighter to stop bute. I think Pascal stops bute early.

Pascal is a "see it, hit it" type of fighter... Pascal is an ambush fighter, he's now out and then in, very fast -- and this is quite convenient for Bute... Because Pascal will eventually enter right into a big Bute's counter punch...

Logoff. You're clueless dude.

Pascal being an ambush fighter will be very inconvenient for bute. Pascal will leap in land hard fast hooks on bute and I don't expect he will take them well just like he didn't take froch's shots well. Pascal is tough and has a good chin unlike bute and will be able to take bute's counters.

Not even Froch would be able to repeat the Nottingham fight... (And Froch is a "hunter", not an ambush fighter). Pascal will not find Bute with his looping hooks...

Type like a grown man please.

At this point Hopkins should already be retired. Everything he does from here on out at age 48, is just extra icing on the cake. The term "cherry picker" should not even be used. Hopkins is Ward's forefather.

If anything, look at it from Ward's point of view. A P4P prime fighter. What does he stand to gain by fighting a 48 year old man? A Light-Heavy Title? After he just fought the Real Light-Heavyweight Champion at 168, instead of moving up and taking Dawson's Title.

Froch would probably knock bute out faster in a rematch now that he knows he can hurt bute so easily and take bute shots completely unfazed.

I wouldn't label froch a hunter or ambush fighter or whatever he's quite versatile he can box well on the move, counter, fight in spurts or pressure. It wasn't froch's pressuring that beat bute that's just what finished him.

Pascal will find bute with his hooks because he is fast, doesn't have a rhythm and bute's easy to find.

What an embarrassing post...

You don't want to know about the health issues Bute was forced to cope in the Froch fight -- it happens that I am aware of them, but as long as Bute chose not to make them public, I'll do the same... (Bute knew from the start that he cannot stay into the ring for 12 rounds)

If that's true (which I doubt it is) he should of pulled out. If you're entering the ring to fight one of the hardest ****s in the sport who has gone 12 rounds in world title fights with world class opponents 7 fights in a row 5 away from home in foreign countries and only lost twice, you need to be able to fight 12 rounds.
If it's true he is either very ****** or very arrogant and has only himself to blame.
