Jean Pascal vs Lucian Bute - HBO

[gilgamesh]

Just starting up the round by round for this one.

[gilgamesh]

Gonna be Mike Perez vs Carlos Takam in the opening bout.

[gilgamesh]

Perez took that 1st round pretty clearly. Takam landed a few good shots in there, but Perez landed good shots throughout

10-9 Perez

[gilgamesh]

Not the most technically brilliant round by either man there, but Perez took it

20-18 Perez

[Baby Face Finster]

Fight is over. No contest. No way Perez can continue with that cut.

[gilgamesh]

Very, very bad cut from an accidental headbutt. I don't think Perez should be fighting with a cut that bad.

[Baby Face Finster]

They can't let this fight continue.

[gilgamesh]

I don't remember seeing a guy go on with a cut that bad from an accidental headbutt recently. Hopefully they don't let it go beyond this 4th round...this is all they'll need for a technical decision. After that they gotta stop this.

[JCS]

Bad cut, but not the worst spot... and they seem to be doing a reasonable job with it.

[Baby Face Finster]

I can't believe this fight is into the 5th round. This cut could possibly affect Perez in future fights if it's opened any more.

[gilgamesh]

Bad cut, but not the worst spot... and they seem to be doing a reasonable job with it.

Yeah I'm pretty shocked they were able to stop the blood on that. It's really barely bleeding.

I wonder if they're allowed some enhanced clotting substances in Canada..?

[gilgamesh]

Takam took that round big, Perez better hope he's got the 4-2 edge on the cards and quit now while he's ahead.

[gilgamesh]

4-4 now. Perez could've won a technical decision earlier. The fight is up for grabs in these next two rounds now.

[crusader]

Takam winning on my card...

[crusader]

96-94 Takam

Close but clear imo.

[gilgamesh]

96-94 Takam

Takam stepped up the pace in Round 6, and Perez just never picked it up with him. Takam sweeps the 2nd half of the bout and ekes out a close decision.

[JCS]

Fat Dan has it 96-94 Takam as well.

Seems like a fair score to me, but I didn't closely score it.

[JCS]

96-94
95-95
95-95

DRAW

[gilgamesh]

96-94
95-95
95-95

DRAW

He didn't say who the 96-94 card was for.

[CheckHook]

Takam edged it for me, felt like an easy fight to score too. Perez didn't have an answer as soon as Takam started working on the inside.

[crusader]

hmmmm.....not a terrible decision but I thought Takam deserved it.

[gilgamesh]

Garcia vs Juan Carlos Burgos would probably be worthy for a slot in the PTBF game huh JCS?

[hulkmaniac]

Is it just me or is this a big ass ring?

[JCS]

Garcia vs Juan Carlos Burgos would probably be worthy for a slot in the PTBF game huh JCS?

Eh.. I think it just misses, but I did add Vera/Chavez 2 after seeing that upcoming schedule. We'll see.
