Biggest fight to take place in Canada I believe. No doubt it has sold out and it should sell very well on TV over in Canada too. People here in the UK will tune in and across the pond in the States. Both looked like shit in their last fight's though and this could fail to deliver. Bute not fought since November 2012 and Pascal has fought twice in that period. I've got Pascal in this - probably by late stoppage. I just don't rate Bute and Pascal's nothing to write home about either. I don't see either guy beating the likes of Stevenson or Kovalev. No fucking way. But if Pascal beats Bute, Pascal-Stevenson would be much bigger than Pascal-Bute. Why? because it would be for the WBC and Ring Magazine belts and both Pascal and Stevenson are now settled in Laval, Quebec and both were born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
I'm picking Bute, but not too confident about it. And you are correct, neither one beats Kov, or Stevenson.
Not sure who to pick, haven't thought about it much. Fight would have interested me more a few years ago. I never looked at either as having potential to be all time greats but had higher hopes for them than what they achieved.
I thought Bute would be better than what he was. Always knew Pascal was nothing special. I could see Bute timing Pascal with a left uppercut coming in that puts him in big trouble.
i will watch this card only because "Irish" Mike Perez is fighting, not to see either of these frenchmen
I wouldn't classify Pascall as vulnerable. While his chin may not be the greatest, his survival instinct and heart mean he seems very hard to ko (kind of like JMM). He's definitively flaw though as his stamina and technique are both suspect. But this Saturday, it's not gonna matter as he's gonna beat on Bute who won't handle his spurts very well . But if he's somehow able to ride through them without being hurt, he'll win.
Yeah I don't see Pascal as being that vulnerable. He's not super solid and sturdy either, but he's no Boot. I reckon he thumps Boot.

I think Bute's going to mentally fold and won't handle the heat when Pascal pours it on. Pascal in 6.
Wach sparred with that guy who is fighting Perez and says he hits the hardest out of anyone he fought.
Before, during, or after this all Canadian battle, please take a moment to think about our boy in exile, steve dave.
Perez is a funny looking dude. Physically unimpressive too. How easily do you think he'll thump this Cameroonian?
