Sergey Kovalev vs. Jean Pascal

[Foreign Soil]

Kovalev doesn't box on the backfoot though, it won't be a case of having to hunt down Kovalev, in which event they'll trade and the guy with the best chin will win imo. I think that'll be Beterbiev.

I give Rodriguez a shot, he's a big guy who takes a good punch and he will go to war and anything can happen in that situation.

Kovalev one of my favourite fighters but I do see him as vulnerable, and far from unbeatable. It's not a GGG at MW situation for me.

I don't see the point in naming fighters like Rodriguez, he throws the sloppiest looping punches with some of the worst defense around.

Kovalev can box going backwards - did you miss where he had his back to the ropes and made Pascal run into a straight right? If Kovalev keeps command of range, Beterbiev is going to have it rough, and as his last fight showed, his chin can be cracked. I'll take the better boxer with power over a guy who mainly just has power. If it's an inside fight, Beterbiev wins, but if Kovalev gets his range, I see Artur taking a bad beating and it'll most likely be a rangy fight as opposed to the former.

Yeah, but he doesn't habitually, they'll trade and I'm picking him to get caught.

On Beterbiev's last fight, that was a forearm push that sent him to the canvas, watch it closely, no chin-cracking. Page Jr.'s style is very different from Kovalev's but Artur still closed the distance and got him out of there early.

The guy almost fell on his face after Kovalev slipped. Pascal was about to be crippled.

Krusher has a serious sick streak to him, it's a big part of why he's so good. His laughing and pointing at Pascal was a little demented. That's why you don't piss the guy off, you don't want him like that.

What the hell is Rodriguez's name doing in here? LMAO. To quote Golovkin, are you serious right now? Rodriguez is pretty much C-level.

His legs folded up vs Page. Looked like he got dropped pretty good, unless there is some angle that shows otherwise.

Beterbiev has more of a shot than Rodriguez or Alvarez that's for sure.

[Cinci Champ]

I got no issue with the stoppage. Pascal was hurt pretty bad numerous times during the fight, at some point you have to say enough is enough. He is one brave guy though. Tons of heart.

i got no problem with it seems like these stoppages depending on who people were rooting for they like the stoppage or not at the time it happened tho i was thinking uhhh what lol

Page stood on Beterbiev's left foot then forearmed him. This is what he went down from:

No. Their feet were not even touching. Beterbiev went down from the right a second after the forearm. It was a punch that dropped him.

Their feet were touching, Page's left foot gets caught behind Beterbiev's left heel while he was forearm-ing him, that was followed up by a "punch" which tbh looked like another push.



However, it's irrelevant because Beterbiev unsurprisingly wasn't hurt, he bounces straight to his feet.

He clearly got dropped from that angle. His lead foot has already moved back, away from Page's foot and then the right hand lands on the jaw/neck. That's a clear cut knockdown, look how Artur's legs folded up after he received the punch..

With that said, Artur was clearly sleepwalking in that first round and the knockdown woke him up. He pretty much even said that after the fight.
