I expect Lara to defeat Trout decisively. Trout doesn't do anything well in the ring. I'll say he has a better inside game than Lara, but overall he's got a very ugly style of boxing. High volume, low accuracy, low power. Lara picks him apart on the outside.
Bute vs. Pascal is interesting. Bute has seen better days. But imo, if he's still the same Bute, he should be able to outclass Jean Pascal. He started off slow against Grachev, if he starts slow in this fight he could be in trouble. I think the only way Pascal wins is by KO.
I think Lara beats Trout. Punches are too clean for the judges to ignore if Trout punches anything like he was in the Canelo fight. Lara UD. (might be betting on that if i have the dolla as bookies have Lara at +100 which is more than genorous imo)
For Pascal Bute im just not sure Bute has recovered mentally from the Froch beatdown. We will see but i think the strength and power of Pascal plus the extra weight will be in his advantage.
No idea why people are so impessed with Lara. Trout has done just as much as Lara has and fought at a higher level. Even fight for me, I can't decide.
Pascal stops Bute in 6
I agree. Lara is definitely a good fighter but the hype around him is way too much. He did the same thing Quintana did to Williams only he did a couple years later and post Martinez ko. The Angulo fight was very competetive as well. I'm not convinced he beats Trout. Thats a pick em fight imo
People keep talking about Bute's "China chin" or whatever but I'm not sure where this is coming from. He wasn't knocked out cold against Froch, he got caught up on the ropes and took some damage but that is the only time he has ever lost period and it happened to be a TKO. He has a KO% of 75% and is going up against a guy with a KO% of less than 55% and two losses plus a draw.
Bute isn't fighting in England this time and he is fighting against an aggressive boxer who is not as technically sound as he is. Bute also has like a 3 inch height advantage according to Boxrec so I don't really see too much that favors Pascal here.
As far as Trout goes, I can't believe the amount of writing off that is going on with respect to him. I mean he only lost to Canelo who people love to discredit as well but I would bet you that you put Canelo in the ring with ANYONE that Lara has fought and he destroys them rather easily. Trout would make a mockery of Vanes and Angulo if given the opportunity. Lara has a reach advantage but I think Trout's activity level will allow him to outwork his opponent who will be looking for the counter shots but Trout's movement will limit his opportunities to capitalize. Trout is also a proud guy with a lot to prove in this fight and he will look to make a statement.
I think Lara's stock will take a big hit in this fight and people will start to realize just how good Canelo is and in turn, how good Floyd is to be able to beat Canelo like he did.
