31 years old Jean Pascal (28-2-1(17 KO) rated number 2 in Canada and number 5 in the world will face 33 years old southpaw Lucian "Le Tombeur" Bute (31-1-0(24 KO) who is not rated because he was inactive for all 2013, on this Saturday, January 18 in Bell Centre, Montreal, Canada. This will be a 12 rounds bout with Butes NABF light heavyweight title on stake.
Lucian Bute comes to this fight after
one year professional inactivity. On his last fight he won unimpressive
victory over very slow Denis Grachev(12-0-1) by unanimous decision on
November 2012. Before that he suffered his first professional loss in a
one sided fight against Carl Froch(28-2) by TKO round 5 on May 2012.
Froch was able to torn apart Bute with his big punches and he took Butes
IBF super middle weight title that night.
Jean Pascal was also not very active.
He comes to this fight after unimpressive win against "no name" George
Blades (23-4) by TKO round 5 on September last year. Before that he won
against another "nothing" Aleksy Kuziemski (23-4) by unanimous decision
on December 2011.
This will be the fight between two
warriors behind there prime. Both of them were top fighters some years
ago, and now its time for these two Canadians to find out who is the
better one. The winner can have a chance to fight the world champion
Adonis Stevenson, as that fight can be very popular in Canada....
