    In reality the possibility is very, very, slim.

      Pascal can take a shot, he has proven this. This will be the fight we see what Krusher can do. He will have to box as the chance of him dropping Pascal is low.

      I still take Pascal by 6th round K.O. Any takers?
      Do you mean Hopkins ... the guy who was supposed to give the crude, unskilled, straight-line slugger from Russia a boxing lesson?

        I'm having trouble in remembering where he got outboxed by caparello. The guy steps on his foot, knocks him off balance,and kovalalev comes back,dominates the rest of the round,and finishes him in the second round. If that's considered kovalev getting outboxed,then I don't know what to say,other than people are reaching pretty far,when it comes to hating on the guy.

          I think an upset is possible, Pascal can move well, has speed and is at home. It sets up for a decision upset win. Should be good fight!

            Maybe Pascal could win by robbery. But I see Kovalev stopping him.

              The fact is that, as early as possible, Kovalev will assess Pascal's movement... Then, perform the famous "shift" and dramatically KO the poor bloke.

              I suspect that you don't know anything about the art of "shifting"... Am I right?

                You don't have to explain things that are on the Youtube and may be watched instantly...

                (Usually, Kovalev assesses his opponents' moves very early... Then he loads punches... Sometimes he feels that he should spend some more rounds into the ring -- in order to get some useful sparring. Ask Hopkins about it.)

                  Pascal definitely has a great chance of upsetting Kovalev.

                    But some people will see whatever they want to see, not what actually happened.

I think people underestimate kovolav boxing ability but i also think some overrate it after he beat hopkins as well. I dont know i personaly am excited for this fight
                      Not surprising at all you wont give krusher his credit. After he beats pascal I'm sure you'll say the same thing
