Jean Pascal vs Lucian Bute: Betting Odds

Former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal (28-2-1, 17 KOs) is a -150 favorite to defeat former IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute (31-1, 24 KOs), when they collide tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Bute backers can get +125 in the HBO-televised fight that is expected to draw more than 20,000 spectators.

Bute promised Pascal’s “destruction” during Friday’s weigh-in, while Pascal wasn’t talking and literally had a piece of tape over his mouth during their face-off.

HBO commentator Roy Jones Jr. will work the TV opener between heavyweights Mike Perez and Carlos Takam from his normal perch at ringside, but then will work as a cornerman for Pascal in the main event.
