Were you one of the many who watched the anticipated fight between Lucian Bute and Jean Pascal last Saturday? If you haven’t checked your Facebook timeline yet, Pascal won easily the match and crushed the last hope of soon to be retired Bute, of winning his title back.
Like many fellow Haitians, I was rooting for Pascal. Deep down, though , I wanted Bute to win. Everyone loves a good comeback. But last night wasn’t.
I think we can all agree that it was not the best HBO fight, yet it wasn’t the worst. Pascal threw a few punches (kept a good pace too) and had everybody cheering when he sent Bute to the ground. The Romania native only started waking up at the 12th round. Too little, too late.
Nonetheless, Jean Pascal is undeniably a great boxer. Surely, his bragging can be annoying at times. But why not? We need our Canadian version of Mayweather and so far, he fits the glove perfectly.
Wish you the best Jean. Make your country or city proud.
