Both Pascal (27-2-1, 16 KO) and Bute (31-1, 24 KO) have rabid Canadian fanbases and remain close enough to the broader championship picture at 168 and 175 pounds to give their matchup genuine appeal.
Before Pascal vs. Bute was made official, the 1980 welterweight championship bout between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran at Montreal’s Olympic stadium had been the country’s most significant boxing event. That Pascal and Bute are ready to supplant that fight in the collective memory of Canadians reinforces the country’s surprising emergence as a burgeoning boxing hotbed.
This is a fight that has been anticipated internationally for quite some time, and Lucian Bute vs slight favorite by boxing gambling odds Jean Pascal was supposed to happen back on May 25th, 2013 until Bute hurt his hand postponing the fight to January 18th, 2014.
The entire country of Canada is more excited than anyone for what they all claim will be an epic fight putting Canada on the forefront of Championship Boxing at the Montreal Bell Centre, which is widely becoming the place for big title fights.
Lucian Bute ( 31 - 1 - 0, 24 KOs ) + 125 Jean Pascal ( 28 - 2 – 1, 17 KOs ) - 145
If you listen to the former World Champion Lucian Bute he is claiming this to be a fight proving that Quebec is becoming internationally recognized for the skill and Championship belts that its boxers have amassed over the years.
Bute is a former Super Middleweight Champion coming up to the Light Heavyweight class for this fight claiming he will be well prepared in the fight he has wanted for a long time. He also said, “I am going to have fun on January18th, and so are the majority of Quebecers present at the Bell Centre,” further cementing his Quebec heritage.
On the other side of this fight, Jean Pascal is claiming foul on Bute and his team accusing them of postponing the fight on purpose claiming it was, “an attempt to demoralize me. Believe me, it did not work. On January 18th the ring will be too small for both of us. Bute will not be able to hide. I will expose him.”
Nothing adds to a fight between 2 former World Champions better than bad blood, and former World Light Heavyweight Champion Jean Pascal has given Bute plenty of ammunition go on making this fight for more than just a victory.
If the fight turns out to be a great strategy fight, I think Lucian Bute will use the ring and his boxing skills to set Jean Pascal up all night, but the problem he will run into with that is avoiding the stinging power that Pascal can inflict on his opponents.
It will be nearly impossible for Bute to avoid Pascal although he will surely do his best by circling his fellow Canadian and keeping him off balance. If it goes the distance I believe it will go to Bute because of Pascal tiring in the late rounds, but if Pascal can get Bute hurt at any time in the first 6 rounds I believe he will finish Bute with a knockout.
