Review: 2014-01-18, nice fight with a very exciting finish: Jean Pascal vs Lucian Bute gets three stars. Jean Pascal entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 28-2-1 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.5 light heavyweight in the world, his only two defeats came to Carl Froch (4-stars fight of 2008) and to Bernard Hopkins in 2011 during their second fight. His opponent Lucian Bute has an official record of 31-1-0 (24 KOs=75%) and he is not ranked since he hasn’t fought since November 3, 2012 when he defeated Denis Grachev, but before that fight he suffered his first loss against Carl Froch (one of the best boxing fights of 2012 rated with four stars). Bute vs Pascal is scheduled as a light heavyweight fight, Pascal’s natural weight division, but not for Bute who used to fight as a super middleweight (currently the #1 in the light heavyweight division is Bernard Hopkins). Lucian Bute vs Jean Pascal is valid for the NABF light heavyweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Bum fight.
Bute has to move down to the super middleweight division
Bum fight.
Well deserved win for Jean who displayed a quite similar style that the one Roy Jones has. With no doubts he was the better fighter in this match. Lucian lost the fight due to is lack of guts in spite the facts of being the younger, taller and stronger boxer of this fight. In addition to, he has also the advantage of being a left handed boxer. Same situation happened with Frosch, as soon as Lucian has a good opposition in front of him he is very concerned and his performance is severely affected.
He is still a very good boxer but he should work very hard in the future to overcome this condition which is his weakest point.
3 stars? “Nice fight”? Are you kidding me? Nothing happened for 11 rounds. It was absolute TRASH.

ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzz
One guy who doesn’t want to fight.
Another who needs two and a half minutes out of every round to set up six shots.
