Comments Thread For: Photos: Pascal, Bute Ripped and Ready For Montreal War

Pascal via sick first half vicious unwatchable TKO.
Bute was already exposed by Froch.
He's done.

Funny that Pascal also lost to Froch but he isn't exposed......

Well the way they lost to Froch was very different. A tough UD loss for Pascal while Bute had his ass handed to him in 5.

I think Bute's 13 month layoff could play a factor as well. Pascal wasn't fighting very tough opponents, but he at least fought Blades last year to stay somewhat active. Dawson is much more skilled than Lucian IMO and Pascal's awkwardness gave him fits.

Come on man, Dawson couldn't even go 1 round with Stevenson and freaking Tony "the bum" Bellew went like 6 or 7 rounds with him. Dawson just stood there the entire fight with Pascal but every time he did throw, he stunned Pascal. He almost dropped him with an uppercut in like the 11th or something, maybe one of three punches he threw that round too.

Pascal leaves himself very open when he punches and Bute is a counter puncher by nature.....he will find his spots and they will count pretty big when he lands.

Dawson got cracked flush on the chin early, it took Stevenson more time to get to Bellew since Tony was playing keep away for the most part in the fight. Also, after the ass whooping Ward gave him, I'm not sure how much of Dawson was left that night vs Adonis.

In Dawson-Pascal, Pascal jittery and awkward movements threw Dawson off. He had trouble timing him with his jab and Jean took away his reach advantage by coming in under his shots. I think he can do the same to Bute at 175, not Bute's normal weight range, off a 13 month layoff, and with serious questions about his durability.

Bute is a popular pick on the forums, but I think Pascal is going to do work on him tomorrow night.

Bute getting stopped in 8 rounds. Pascal is a grain better then Bute

Lmao true that

Anyone know why Pascal was wearing tape over his mouth in the stare down? I missed the live weigh-in so I don't know. I'm sure it's cause of psychological warfare but what's the reason behind it?

Hopefully so we dont have to hear that god awful accent. "Tek ze tess, Bee-nard!!"

Bute got whupped against Froch and looked vulnerable against Grachev. Though I don't think much of Pascal, it's difficult for me to pick Bute. Mathed brought up Bute's reach, but they have the same reach according to boxrec. Unless Bute lands a game-changing uppercut, I think he'll get roughed up again. Maybe the layoff got Bute's head screwed on right, or maybe he'll look hella rusty.

Go check it out first homie.
It was a really close one and another british bull**** on the scorecards.
Froch has barely taken that bout.

Most moda****az definitely have no clue they've been talking about.

I expect a competitive fight and it's definitely a winnable one for Bute.

Not because Bute's good but because Pascal is just not that good either and limited. He's probably more limited than Bute.

If he lands though he'll likely hurt him because he can crack and he's explosive and fast.

If it goes into the second half of the fight that's Bute's territory though.

Should be interesting and good.
