Comments Thread For: Photos: Kovalev, Pascal Go Face To Face in New York

[Ravens Fan]

I don't see a case for Krusher. He is very slow and his defense is sub par and his chin was tested twice and he was rocked by guys with less power than Jean.

I have to ask because I must have missed it, who was Kovalev rocked by?

Since when is Pascal a power puncher? He has maybe 2-3 knockouts in his last 14-15 fights and they were against bums. He couldn't even stopped Bute, who actually gave him a beating in the late rounds...

Hopkins rocked Kovalev in the 12th round.

Hopkins rocked Kovalev in the 12th round.

I thought it was the other way around...? And Hopkins has a legendary beard.

Kovalev was actually dropped once by Darnell Boone (same as Ward) and also by Capparello (but that one seemed more of a balance KD).

Are you game to wager? 3300 points?

Pascal wins inside 7.

He has the edge in experience by far. He has been in with much better fighters .

HahahahahahahHahahah yes he got schooled by hopkins twice

What on Earth is Jean Pascal wearing? A ninja turtle costume with a parachute?

I was wondering the same thing

People shouldnt count Pascal out on this one. Pascal has a great chin. Never been down.. Went toe to toe with Froch and that was a war! Im not saying that Pascal will win but for people to think it will be an easy fight for Kovalev must only have seen the Hopkins fight.

He has decent power and speed with a granite chin. I think it will be a war. Cant wait for this fight

Hopkins rocked Kovalev in the 12th round.

No. He didn't.


Hopkins was ready to go himself.

[Interloper]

No. He didn't.


Hopkins was ready to go himself.

Who said Hopkins wasn't ready to go? Kovalev was clearly staggered in the 12th round by a shot he didn't see. Watch the video again.

Saying Hopkins hurt him is not the same as saying Kovalev didn't hurt Hopkins.
