    I got money on rounds 7-12 Kovalev stoppage. Pascal always gases late and im pretty certain Bute had him in serious trouble in round 12 of their fight.

        Bernard Hopkins will working with the HBO commentary team for this fight as RJJ will be in the corner of Pascal. Interesting what he's got to say as he has fought both fghters. Sorry if this has been posted.

        ***8226; Future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins, the former middleweight and light heavyweight champion has been added to HBO***8217;s broadcast team of the fight between light heavyweight titleholder Sergey Kovalev and former champion Jean Pascal on March 14 (9:45 p.m. ET/PT) at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Hopkins will work as an analyst alongside Jim Lampley, Max Kellerman and unofficial scorer Harold Lederman. Hopkins, of course, has faced Kovalev and Pascal. In his last fight in November, he lost a decision to Kovalev in a unification fight. Hopkins fought to a draw with Pascal in 2010 and outpointed him in their 2011 rematch. HBO***8217;s usual expert analyst on ***8220;Word Championship Boxing***8221; telecasts is Roy Jones Jr., but Jones serves as one of Pascal***8217;s trainers and will be in his corner.

          I'm not sure, but I'm sceptical as to whether he'll become a ticket seller in the States.
          Not a big ticket seller but a ticket seller nonetheless. The Canadians are the most passionate crowd from what I've seen and they would surely like Kovalev if he manage to stop Pascal impressively.

          Kovalev will need to call out Stevenson after the fight like always and we could have the May/Pac of the light heavyweight division.

              Kovalev is going to **** Pascal up. Nothing against Pascal, but I'm looking forward to it. I'm actually kind of hoping Pascal puts up an effort that shows us something new in Kovalev.

                The guy was a very good amateur, you might not see anything in him but he clearly has a lot of ability.

                Hell KO-ing Cloud who had never been legitmately KO'd inside 2 rounds in his 6th pro fight tells its own story.

                  Pascal's the hardest puncher he's faced so there's that.

                  But Pascal is getting stopped.

                    The fact he's facing two top 10 guys in his first 8 pro fights is proof of enough. Only Lomachenko of late has gone in that deep that early.

                      Pascal's only chance that I can see is if he hurts Kovalev early and often, and Kovalev gets tentative enough to fight at his pace. Doesn't seem likely to me.
