I think the douche bags...

....dissing Kovalev are trolls. I see Pascal getting KOd before 6. EASILY. Pascal is not A grade material. Only an utter moron sees Pascal KOing Kovalev. I mean seriously...

GMAN SUPREME : Dude, could you be MORE on kovalev's **** ? You think he'll ko Pascal ? Fine, we got it. Now stfu and stop bashing everyone's not thinking the same way as you.

Pascal by UD.

Pascal out in his feet before 6.

how do you see this going? Im taking pascal by k.o. Before the 7th.

He has the edge in durability
speed although not by much
countering- which he does way better than kovalev

and he has the benefit of kovalevs defense being piss poor.
I think pascal lands in the center of the ring and he has the advantage in exchanges as we have seen kovalev get rocked by weaker guys than pascal who has taken bombs to the face and walked through it.

you are a mad man!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder what prime Calzaghe does to Kovalev

Not a thing.

Oh yeah, anyone that doesn't believe that Kovalev who outside of beating 50 year old Hopkins loses to Pascal who has stood in with far better and more accomplished fighters than Kovalev is a troll.

Idk pascal saying this is like the outcome of pac-may and the fans of the loser would say " it isn't the same fighter from 4-5 years ago"

I think Kov's win came more from him listening to Jackson, instigating exactly what Jackson told him to, and being consistent throughout. Yes, his power makes it easier for him to be the boss, but still you have to have serious boxing talent to outwork Hopkins.

And incidentally, I will assume Kov will repeat vs Pascal. Kov just seems to execute and stick with the plan better under Jackson's guidance. And I wouldn't be surprised to see a late KO of Pascal.

Just remember, right before Dawson was cut, he was jolting Pascal. Now, compare Dawson power vs Kov power.

It's true Hopkins wasn't the same. But at the same time Kovalev fought excellent and had a great game plan. Can't take anything away from Kovalev.

Thats also why Pascal said Kovalev was the best in the division after beating Hopkins.

Of course there is , being 3 years older can make quite a difference. And the older you are the worse you get.

Three years is the difference between Mosley TKO'ing Margarito and getting beat by Canelo, for instance.

Back to topic, I favor Kovalev, he seems to be the smarter fighter and has very heavy hands.

Pascal could be effective with his aggression, but unless he lands something big early I see him getting beat.
