Comments Thread For: Sergey Kovalev Stops Jean Pascal in a Fire Fight

[Foreign Soil]

I was, because he was gassed, hurt and close to getting stopped.

The ref was having a close look in the 12th when Bute was teeing off on him on the ropes.

If he's doing that against Bute, he has no hope with Kovalev who's superior in every way.

You don't know much about Pascal as a fighter then. He was gassed in the 12th but wasn't close to being stopped.

I've watched every Pascal fight since 2008.

He was gassed, hurt, and being tee'd off on to which the ref was having a close look. He was clearly in trouble.

Dawson rocked him badly.

Hopkins knocked him down and it was ruled a slip.

There was no way he was seeing the distance with Kovalev that was obvious.

I really didn't like the stoppage. After the effort of both men, I think Pascal deserved a little more of a chance. Kovalev is a killer though so I get those who would see different. Showed an extra dimension tonight and dealt with adversity like a boss.

HBO will soon debut Roman to go with Sergey and GGG. That's a trio of killers par excellence.

Oh please, Pascal took a lot of punishment this fight. If the ref didn't step in, the next two or three punches while Pascal is hurt, tired and trapped in a corner would have put him to sleep and he would have been carried out of the ring in a coffin.

if pascal can touch that chin, stevenson will break it. pascal short a$$ arms had no business touching kovalevs chin like that.

Punk please... you just mad cause your folks are running from these white boys LOL

Pabon watched Pascal take about 20 unanswered punches in one of the previous rounds and let it go. I can't believe I'm saying it but I trust his judgement on that stoppage. Pascal was gassed as much as hurt imo, looked very tired in the previous round, there was no future in that bout for him other than potential long term injury imho.

I watched that round the other day, I think Pascal likes to conserve energy by soaking up punches. I don't think he was hurt.

Right.

So unranked in the division.

Yes, but let's not pretend Pacquiao would not have done that to him at 140 too, the 4lbs were hardly to his advantage against the bigger man.

Algieri was top 3 Ring but I take your point.

It is all about reputation, if Kovalev was American or British the hype would be through the roof.

He'd probably be a star in Russia but they never get to see him.

There'd be internet videos of him and ***** hunting shirtless guaranteed.

That's fantasy.

The guy didn't ask which Top 3 guy did they beat in a fantasy fight.

I just realized what gave me the feeling that this was a good old style, knock down, drag out fight tonight.. two fighters giving it their all and not a tattoo to be seen!!! It was very refreshing!

Are you trying to say Pascal has a bad chin?
