Pascal didn't do enough to win that fight!!

[toshmurph]

Before this fight I had Jean Pascal winning within 8 rounds.. I thought that he'd maybe finish Bute quicker after seeing the ring walk as Bute was visibly shaking!! After watching the fight I had it as a draw, maybe even Bute nicking it by a point! Now I can see a case for Pascal winning it by a round also but that was certainly not a 117-111 fight!

Pascal was inactive for too long only fighting in 20 second bursts most rounds, when he did land he would swing wild missing nearly every other punch! Now a case could be made for the knockdown but as it wasn't given I'm not arguing to much as a punch landed but I thought it was the leg tangling that caused the fall!

Bute while looking tentative letting his left go, maintained a jab throughout, out boxing pascal for long stretches! And he made pascal miss a hell of a lot!

But hey I'm tired it near 6am here in Ireland so maybe I'm missing something, what do you guys think!

Btw, what's clear is Stevenson wouldn't have trouble with either guy, and Jean Pascal didn't look to comfortable when asked about a possible fight!!

you must be drunk or just trolling

I heard the British broadcast had Bute winning, which is completely absurd. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were influenced by the commentators but you have to be a special breed of idiot to score that for Bute.

[The Hammer]

The HBO crew were biased in favor of Pascal.

Max Kellerman was going on about how Bute wasn't throwing enough, but he never mentioned that Pascal was just standing around and not throwing anything for much of the fight.

You also have to factor that that wasn't the real Lucian Bute.

We only saw the real Bute for one round. He injured his arms early in the fight.

Jesus Christ, how did I know there would be a thread like this on NSB.

To start, the only thing that matters is who wins the most rounds. That's it.

NEWS FLASH: Bute was throwing even less than Pascal

[M.I Truth ?]

easy fight to score. Bute won 2 rounds. 3 if your generous.

[way2strong]

I thought pascal won every round minus the 12th and they both tried hard to lose stevonson is up next not the brightest future for the winner

[Sweet Pea 50]

It was a pretty clear cut win for Pascal.

Nothing controversial, except maybe the width on a couple of the score cards.
