Lucian Bute vs. Jean Pascal

[Rome-By-Ko]

Bump. This is a fight that I'm pretty excited for. I like Bute and hope he can comeback from his Froch loss.

Is this fight happening tho??I thought they both went different ways..If it is happening tho I have Pascal all day..

Bute shocks the world when he drops Pascal with a left bodyshot in the 3rd round. Pascal survives but loses a UD.

Bute has not looked like the same guy since Froch. I think his confidence has been shaken and Pascal will test his chin early. Pascal by ko would be my pick, but it should be an entertaining fight regardless.

Pascal with the knockout !!!

Pascal should be a pretty heavy favourite, he's a worse style matchup than froch for bute

Bute dropping Pascal wouldn't be a shock. Bute has a very good chance to win this fight. This is a 50/50 fight. I wouldn't be surprised if Bute wins a clear UD or even a stoppage win.

I agree. I think Pascal beats him up.

[MDPopescu]

This fight is a dilemma... Pascal is a pressure fighter, while Bute is considered to be "still shaken" after the Froch fight. If Bute managed to heal his left hand well enough he would be able to win easily.

[Weebler I]

Favour Pascal to win, he looked in great nick in his tune-up. Bute hasn't had a tune-up and did not look great last time out v Grachev over a year ago now.

Winner should fight Stevenson, Kovalev or Ward.

I'm rooting for Bute, but fear the worst. He needs confidence.
