Pascal will start out fast, head hunting Bute. Bute will get wobbled a little bit but continue to fight through. It'll be the same until mid to late rounds when Pascal will tire out and Bute will continue to score on points.
Bute decisions Pascal.
Perez will outbox Takam and hurt him a few times to win a UD.Last edited by SnakeVen0m; 01-17-2014, 03:01 PM.

Pascal will frustrate all of his supporters by how lost he will look in there. The guy is DUMB, he will continue to move and not do much for most of the fight, Bute will outclass him. It is just a very easy fight to predict IMO.

Originally posted by El Angel View PostYou have a lot of faith in Bute's chin man. I can't see him taking a flush Pascal shot at 175. Also the 13 month layoff could be huge against Bute. He'll be shaking off rust and Pascal could bag early rounds.
Now I look at Bute... While there isn't a big name that stands out on that resume, he has racked up SEVERAL solid victories over good boxers. And when I analyze his performances all I can hold against him is his chin. Bute is way more skilled and fundamentally sound than Pascal is in my opinion and that tends to prevail in these types of fights. Specially against a guy who when the going gets tough starts looking clueless with each passing round.
Now the question I ask myself is, do I believe Pascal will be able to use his power against a more intelligent and skilled fighter? No. Can some punches land, sure! But I believe Bute will be able to take them well and slowly start turning the tides in his favor and he will dictate the fight with his superior boxing capability.
If you look at their past few fights you might see what I see, what I gathered from them. This is of course my personal opinion but I feel unusually strong about my pick.

Originally posted by Golovkin View PostI know. I have weighed all possibilities including scenarios, circumstances and intangibles. When I look at Pascal I see a guy who packs a good punch but can't do much with it unless the opponent lacks intelligence. He gets frustrated easily, he has the mindset and attitude of a toddler. I consider his best win to be against Dawson... and Dawson in my eyes is bit a dumb too. Dawson is a confused individual.

Obviously intelligence in the ring is huge, but the confidence to apply it needs to be there as well. Bute has never really sure of himself since Froch crushed so brutally and quickly.
I will say though I agree Pascal at times seems to just bounce around with no real plan of attack. He did this at times against Blades and I remember thinking WTF? I think both guys know how big this fight is and will be coming to win in impressive fashion. Loser probably is out of the picture for a while.
