Probably not. I just hope he can make it as fun as the first fight. Usually when you get KO'd the first time the only thing you can count on the second time is it'll be a quicker KO doe.

[SeekDaGreat]

Pascal has home advantage. Can he win this time?

Absolutely not. Hmm...I guess Viloria:Gonzalez 2 is warranted as well by HBOs measure. Wtf is wrong with them??? He got dropped multiple times and won maybe 1 round....

[////]

There were people saying the stoppage was early and they're watch a rematch.

I just wasn't one of them.

Kovalev by KO.

[GeneralZod]

I fully expect Kovalev to win but it's not the worst possible match up.

[Hougigo]

Making it to a decision would be a win in my book... but still no

[bojangles1987]

Very disappointing fight. Pascal got crushed last time, he might be dangerously hurt in a rematch.

[Hougigo]

Very disappointing fight. Pasal gt crushed last time, he might be dangerously hurt in a rematch.

I'd say this is the last big fight he'll have if he loses, but we all both know that isn't true...

[Chrismart]

Getting hurt again could be in the back of Pascal's mind..but i feel he will go for broke in this one. Which could result in an earlier stoppage.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

This fight is a joke and Kovalev should have fought Gonzales.
