I've been rocking the Pascal avatar for the past week, in anticipation of this fight. And I must say, Pascal was pretty impressive, considering the huge step up in opposition. He basiccally outclassed a guy who was world class at one point. Not easy to do.
And who's a better prospect than Pascal? Compare Berto and Pascal: Look at their steps up in competition. Berto showed impatience and foolishness, and against a worse fighter than Ikeke. Even though he slapped Cosme around (which was much more than expected), he looked anxious and un-crafty. Pascal was picking his shots all night, and had Ikeke on the defensive for a majority of the fight. If it wasn't for the obviously hurt hands late in the fight (round 11, I think), he was en route to knocking Ikeke out.
All in all, I think Pascal stands a good chance against any SMW in the world. He's knocking on the door right now.
