    Pascal is game, he does a few things well, picks his moments to attack wildly landing some catchy shots and he's very good at surviving when he's on his last leg. If Kovalev puts him away, it'll be impressive.

      After the bell rings, Kovalev makes Pascal his personal ragdoll.

      It's time to play!

        Yeah, not sure it's really the place for a cap and maybe I'm wrong but it seemed like Kovalev put the peak of his cap into Pascal's face on purpose. Maybe he felt JP got too close.

          I was thinking the same exact thing lol. If you get shoved unexpectedly that is usually the result, doesn't mean you're not athletic, insanity aside I'm looking forward to this fight. Pascals speed is his only real chance.

            The last thing you want to do is piss off Sergey Kovalev. See Sillah, Cleverly, and the 12th round of the Hopkins fight.

              Didn't Hopkins say Pascal would win because there was no bad blood between him and Kovalev? Whoops.

                The fight is going to have the same result whether he's pissed off or not.

                      People look way way to much into the whole "body language" nonsense as if it actually matters come fight time....Hopkins looked completely dominant over Kovalev when they were doing the staredowns and face offs yet look what happened when they fought...Same goes for Sergio Martinez and Miguel Cotto....

                      Sergio looked far more dominant over Cotto during the face off yet was doing the stanky leg all over the ring whenever Cotto hit him....

                      When it comes fight time the better fighter will win...Which fighter looks "tougher" at the weigh in is irrelevant.
