Jean Pascal vs. Sergey Kovalev

[Mooshashi]

Do you really think of Pascal as a Broner kinda fighter??With his resume??

I think you've mistaken my remark. The verb "to Broner-ize" means "to be beaten down like a dog".

It's a relatively new word. Couple months old.

LMAO,oh my bad..I don't see that,but I feel you..Man Broner really made his bed..LMAO..

I'm shocked by the poll,who the hell did Kov beat for everyone to hop on his train like that..I think he's a good fighter,I don't think he's as good as some are making out in this thread..Crazy stuff..

Pascal has a solid chin, so the early KO predictions are a little hard to fathom. I think Pascal can get buzzed early and then the fight because a war and if that happens I don't see how Pascal could hold up due to his bad stamina. This wouldn't be Adrian Diaconu he'd be facing. But let's be real, Pascal has no intentions on facing Kovalev.

Nor will Ward, Fonfara, Braehmer nor Bute if he won last night. Pathetic. Although I believe Dawson would fight Kovalev, that's just the kind of guy Chad is.

Can't imagine the kind of scrubs Kovalev will be getting for his 4 fights this year. At best, Stevenson says he'll fight Kovalev at the end of the year.

Perhaps there will be a combination of Chilemba, Alvarez or Cloud or since there will be a fight in Russia - Grachev, Sukhotsky or Uzelkov.

Not a bad list for a few stay busy fights, but there isn't really much more out there than this.

I can see Kov vs Pascal being made tbh..I also could see Kov vs Bute being made as well..Good money fights if either get's made..

Pascal was in there with a guy who didn't want to be in there. Kovalev actually wants to unify the division. Bute couldn't give a **** about becoming the best, he was purely in it for the money, and I say the same about Pascal. Pascal wouldn't last long.

Quite about right...

I don't know what Pascal has intentions on doing tbh..He's been a fighter who's never shy'd away from a challenge bro..I've followed Pascal for a while,and dude has a really good resume..Now that he has the attention(he never had before),maybe he wants to make a statement..You never know,and can't count that out,cause his track record is not one of a fighter who ducks and dodges..

As for the fight,I just really see Pascal movement and awkwardness being a real problem for Kov..Kov has not seen anyone like Pascal,Pascal has seen fighters like Kov..

There's no way they make Kovalev-Bute. Bute still hasn't even rematched Froch, which had a rematch clause in it. Pascal fights once a year these days, I'd be very surprised if he fought another name fighter this year and moreso if that name was Kovalev.

Pascal has seen fighters like Kovalev? Like who? Froch? Who he lost to clearly..

Sillakh moves much better than Pascal, it just happens that his chin is trash.

I'm not saying Pascal ducks, just that he barely fights these days and I don't see the upside in him facing Kovalev for his inactive resume. It'd make more sense for him to face Stevenson or Froch.

The only reason I can see Bute trying to fight Kov,is cause he needs to fight a beat real comp..This is what's haunting Bute..He lost the biggest fight,wait correction..He was destroyed in the biggest fight of his career,at a time when he was suppose to be stepping up(finally)..I think this really shot his confidence down big time..He does not have many yrs left fighting(esp cause he does not believe in defense lol),he needs to get that confidence back now..

Kov would be a great place to try,and again(if he let's his hands go)a winnable fight for Bute as long as he's there mentally..He seemed to start to get it in the 12th..He has to exchange,or he'll always lose to good comp..You maybe right about Bute tho,but he seemed very willing to fight again..You never know..

As for Pascal,I've already told you about him in the other post..Dude is not shy about taking challenges..

[Foreign Soil]

If you think Kovalev is a winnable fight for Bute then I can't really help you. Bute did the same thing vs Grachev that he did last night - wait until the 12th round to start fighting. Grachev whooped him worse than Pascal did yet somehow got screwed on the cards. Bute isn't getting any better, he's shot - a Kovalev fight would be pointless at this stage.
