Jean Pascal turning pro

Canadian 75kg amateur champion Jean Pascal will be turning pro probably in February. Apparently GYM Promotions signed him to a contract. Jean Pascal went to the olympics in Athens and lost against Cuban Yordani DESPAIGNE HERRERA 36-24 in a great bout.

Apparently GYM promotions also signed 60Kg Canadian amateur champion Antonin Decarie to a contract.

They should be both on a pro card in early Febrary in Montreal, Canada.

Acquiring jean pascal was a great move for gym management.
As for antonin decarie he had a change of hearts and decided to sign with interbox.

Jean Pascal is a good boxer, I think that he will go far as a pro. It will be interesting to follow his career. Does anyone know how old Pascal is?

I saw Pascal once in Finland (Tammer-tournament) few years ago. He fairly lost a close decison to Finnish Jani Rauhala. It was the best fight of the tournament.

He turned 22 last October...I agree he will have a great pro career.

Pascal is pretty strong and he gave cuban Yordanis Despaigne (one of the weakest cubans) a decent fight at the Olympics. But he must improve technically if he want's to suceed as a pro. He was outboxed by dominican Juan Ubaldo Cabrera at the 2003 PanAms.

funny thing happened his last fight... (3rd pro fight)
the chick interviewing him mentioned that his style is alot like roy jones, and that alot of people say that, and he answered that roy is his idol but he doesnt want to be a second roy jones, he wants to be a first jean pascal.... 8) ...anyone thinking what im thinking????...

jones had said in an interview when he was asked about sugar ray ...
"i dont wanna be a 2nd sugar ray, i wanna be a first roy jones"

Fernando Vargas said the same thing about De La Hoya when he was an amateur and was often compared to Oscar...then he lost early in the Olympics...and got KO'ed by Oscar as a pro

pascal is a legit pro prospect & he's fighting at super middle, where a disproportionately LARGE NUMBER of 2004 olympians are currently competing!!!

ward, dirrell, wilaschek, balzsay, pittman & pascal!!
