RingTV.com has a live round-by-round update of tonight's 175-pound bout during which former light heavyweight champ Jean Pascal (29-2-1, 17 knockouts) won by unanimous decision over former IBF super middleweight titleholder Lucian Bute (31-2, 24 KOs) at Bell Centre in Montreal.

Pascal won for the third straight time, having also scored a unanimous decision over Aleksy Kuziemski and a fifth-round knockout of George Blades since losing his WBC title via unanimous decision to Bernard Hopkins in May of 2011.

Bute was coming off a unanimous-decision victory over previously unbeaten light heavyweight Denis Grachev in November which followed a fifth-round knockout loss to Carl Froch that cost him his IBF 168-pound belt in May of 2012. A subsequent injury to Bute’s left hand forced the postponement of the Pascal bout.

Incidentally, former champion Roy Jones Jr., who worked HBO's telecast for the 10-round draw between heavyweights Mike Perez and Carlos Takam on Saturday, was in the corner of Pascal against Bute.

Pascal said he brought Jones in due to his past success with southpaws, and that Jones was part of his training camp.

HBO’s broadcast begins at 10:15 p.m ET/PT.
