[StrangerInTown]

No rematch required.
Let's remove Stevenson from the equation next.

Juicy J... do you claim that Sergey is taking PED's? You can prove it?

In case you can not than you have to realize that saying this is the same as someone will post here that you sell drags for a living or similar.

I apologize , I meant to say Juicy K not J . Can u prove he isn't ? The world is a touchy place nowadays , u can't say s..t anymore without someone suggesting its libelist . This ain't a courtroom buddy , and boxing is probably the dirtiest sport out there nowadays . What Kovalev is doing is a historical precedent and therefore I have a right to be completely circumspect . When Manny was knocking bigger guys out left and right , something was wrong with u if it didnt raise ur antennas up a bit . Especially considering he's 2 inches short of being a midget . Same goes for Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa on their historic home run juice campaign . Same goes for when Trinidad came out of nowhere with his abnormal power and KO streak until he was exposed and the bricks fell out his gloves . So yes , I call him Juicy J cause HISTORY has shown me that if it acts and quacks like a duck , it's usually a duck 9 times out of 10 . So he gets no benefit of the doubt wit me .

You just love to make stuff up there, don't you.

Pascal's brief success came after Kovalev temporarily punched himself out in that 4th round. Pascal was badly outclassed.

This was a good fight between Kovalev vs Pascal. I give a lot of credit to Pascal for hanging in there after the fourth round. The ref could've done a standing 8 count or just let go for a while longer than stop it.

Agreed!

Stevenson has nowhere near as good a chin Pascal has. I dunno how you can argue that

If anything, after tonight I think Kovalev showed he'd win even more. He took some bombs and it hardly fazed him

Certainly agree! I was curious to see how Kovalev would react against Pascal's speed/power and durability. Those were really the only completely unanswered questions on his ability.
I think he showed to be even better and quite durable. Stevenson has stamina issues as well as not the best chin. Look at how he was against Fonfara and insert Kovalev instead.
Another thing, I think Roy Jones is a terrible mentor for Pascal lol.
Pascal's regeneration power was pretty extraordinary. Even to be lucid after the KO within 5 min. was surprising.
If he'd have had any wit about him, he'd have been protesting that stoppage furiously at that moment. Completely justified.

Absolutely a justified stoppage as Pascal was seriously concussed , dazed and confused . Kudos to the astute ref , he did a fantastic job ! I must disagree with ur assessment of Roy Jones being a bad mentor for him as I felt that Roy gave Pascal an excellent blueprint to win the fight . He taught him to awkward defensively and stay in the ducking sorta stance that allowed for great head movement . It worked very well as it allowed Pascal to be very evasive and it caused Kovalev to spend a lot of energy missing . The problem arose when the fatigue set in and Pascal started standing straight up in peek a boo defense which clearly wasn't the game plan . When he went to standing straight up and down into peek a boo defense Kovalev would then tee off wit hard hooks to Pascal ears !

This, great action great fight

[aboutfkntime]

Definitely starting to feel this guy, he looks legit.

I wasnt convinced at all after the Hopkins fight.

I now think that a Stevenson fight would be 50/50.

Ward is likely the only guy to beat Kovalev 168-175.
