Jean Pascal vs. Sergey Kovalev

[Rome-By-Ko]

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.

Yea,those other fights are very attractive(can't lie),and I would not be mad at Pascal for taking either one of them..

Froch is a better version of Kov tho..Froch fights in a freestyle style and hit's like a mack truck..Not to mention is faster then giving credit for..TBH I have a hard time even saying that Kov is a similar fighter to Froch..I really don't think he is..

Sillakh is not more athletic or a better mover then Pascal bro..Yes Sillakh moves more,does not mean he's the better mover..

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..

No, Bute doesn't share that "only reason" -- Bute wants nothing of Kovalev.

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.

I did not see when Bute fought Grachev..I'm going to go look it up,this was my first time seeing Bute since the Froch beat down..Maybe that's why I'm a bit optimistic..Your most likely right about Bute..Poor guy..

Yea Soil just told me about a fight(I must've missed)after the Froch one that Bute did the same thing he did yesterday..I did not know he had that kinda showing twice..He's most likely done now..Feel bad for Bute,looks like a nice guy who wants to do well..

Pascal outboxes him to a decision.

I agree. Best career move for Bute at this point would be to rematch Bika for the WBC title. He beat him before, he can maybe do it again. Bika will accept because he wants a big money fight. After that, they can maybe make Bute v Ward, Kessler or Chavez to finish on. He's not fighting Kovalev and if he does, he gets stopped early.

Well then what fighters has Pascal seen that are like Kovalev? Froch would be the closest match and he's not really the same. Froch doesn't hit as hard as Kovalev and he telegraphs far too much, isn't precise nor as accurate. His gameness is underrated but I don't see how you could say he's a better version of Kovalev.

Sillakh moves real well and is very quick. There's a reason why people hyped him before the chin issue came into play. Pascal is more stationary but has the better chin by far.

Diaconu had a style like Kov(not the power)up right plodding kinda fighter..Pascal has a good chin,and far better head movement then Sillakh..Dude they can hype Sillakh up all they want..He can't tie Pascal's shoes..Pascal moves with a purpose,his footwork as well is far better as well..I wanna see Pascal fight Stevenson,but I kinda want this fight more now..I really wanna see Kov deal with a fighter like Pascal..I'm not sold,a win over Pascal will sell me..
