Sergey Kovalev vs. Jean Pascal

[SN!PER]

Pascal might be friends with Roy Jones, but he is not half as slick as prime Roy.

Kovalev will get to him by the mid rounds and finish him in violent fashion.

[Weebler I]

You think Pascal will go into survival mode?

not really his style is it?

The poll is way more one sided that I would expect. I'm also picking Kovalev but not by that margin.

This isn't Chad Dawson who fizzled out into a journeyman. Pascal's only 2 losses are Froch and Hopkins, 2 of the past couple decade's greatest fighters.

Of course that odd fight he was just in understandably pales in comparison to what Kovalev's been doing but he beat Bute right before that.

[STREET CLEANER]

Pascal will do well early but he will gas out like always and lose a decision

Pascal is no master boxer, but he has that hit and run style. He isn't going to just stand and absorb punishment. He doesn't get tired and has the ability to keep that pace for 12 rounds. He has a good chin, but Kovalev's power is something else, so you never know what it's lights out. I can see Pascal winning a decision in an ugly fight, but I also realize it is unlikely.

Pascal definitely gets tired.

Do you know who Jean Pascal is?

[lepinthehood]

jean is dangerous, because hes tough, fast and unorthodox. having said that, he often runs out of gas and gets wild. He will have to hurt kovalev early, or i see him getting grinded down and stopped

[Brown Pride]

I'm going to go with the logical choice here and that is Kovalev by KO/TKO. Although i do think Pascal will cause problems for Kovalev, especially early on in the fight where i think Jean will have his best shot to make something dramatic happen. But if he fails to hurt Kovalev early, then he will likely gas out and get knocked out late.

Pascal's speed, athleticism, & elusiveness will cause Kovalev to have some uncomfortable spots in the fight...

Problem for Pascal is two fold...He has a tendency to gas out later in fights & he doesn't throw enough punches....

Kovalev either stops him late or wins a decision by taking over the second half of the bout with his work rate & persistence....
