Pascal's chin

[FromWithin]

If Chad Dawson didn't get cut he would have finished Pascal. That was one of the luckiest breaks I've ever seen in boxing.

He's got a decent chin, but he's never been hit by a guy like Kovalev before.

Yeah, because glass Chad stopped so much opponents, especially in the late rounds. Pascal was buzzed, but not close to being stopped.

solid but not great. he has been hurt by lesser punchers than kovalev but never closed to finished by anyone. the issue with pascal is mental imo, he is very talented and like some talented fighters he has the attitude of a bully inside the ring. when things dont go his way he usually folds, he is a proud man and never quits but he does give up on winning. he got away with is because guys like hopkins allows opponents to survive once he broke them mentally, but as we all know they are seldom the same afterwards. im more concerned about how pascal will react mentally once he feels kovalevs power if he doesnt take kovalev out himself in the early rounds.

I don't really agree. The guy had his shoulder dislocated 3 times against Diaconu and still found a way to win. I think his problem is adjusting well to an opponent, plus his stamina in the late rounds, however he seemed okay in the Bute fight. The fight is way closer than the 4-5 to 1 odds suggest.
