"I'll be talking to one fighter in Montreal on Monday, there's two fighters in Montreal"


I'm guessing she's going to try to make the Pascal fight.

It wouldn't mind the Pascal fight.

Kovalev kills him, obviously.

I don't know if it'll be that straightforward. I favour Kovalev but I'm still not sold on his punch resistance. Pascal might not win but he can give him problems imo if he lands some flush combinations, particularly in the first half of the fight.

Doubtful.

Explosive but not that hard a puncher, low output, fades dramatically.

He'd get killed. No way it goes 12.

He's not a finisher, but I think he punches hard enough, decent speed too.

The other thing is that when he's hurt or gets hit hard he comes firing back with combinations and those could be dangerous for Kovalev if a couple of them land. Imo while Kovalev hits harder, Pascal's the guy who takes punches better if they get into trading.

I don't think it goes 12 either but I don't expect an uncompetitive 2-3 round blowout.
