Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Pascal Was Crazy and Wild, Didn’t Have Heart!

[King_]

Pascal gave Kovalev the fight of his life. He had Kovalev on shaky legs and showed that Kovalev is human and isn't some sort of unbeatable force like he's been portrayed. It's just that Kovalev has so much power, that it makes up for the mistakes he makes in the ring. I think that a young and prime Hopkins would've beat Kovalev. But I'm not sure who can do it now. Pascal came close, so we'll see.

LOL. What a crazy and ridiculous post.


Pascal almost came close?!?! He got battered around the ring for 8 rounds and swung like a wild caveman for most of the fight. This was damn near a SHUTOUT. Kovalev won 7 rounds to 1. SEVEN to ONE. He dominated the entire fight.


Pascal showed heart. Yes. But that does NOT mean someone almost won a fight. Wtf is wrong with some of you people.


This was a brilliant performance by Kovalev, he dominated from the opening round and nearly shut Pascal out. He put on a boxing clinic and hurt Pascal multiple times.


YET somehow you find a way to spin it to "Kovalev is human (as if he's supposed to be some robot... LOL that statement alone shows how damn good he is) Pascal gave him the fight of his life and he was on shaky legs"


Uhhhhhh. Yeah. No. Kovalev was NEVER on shaky legs, he took Pascals best punches and shook them off, that does NOT mean that a guy is close to losing a fight or "on shaky legs" just because he gets hit. Wtf. On top of that.... Kovalev is a pressure fighter, of course he's going to get hit. Even defensive fighters like Mayweather get hit.


Lmao. So much salt in this post. Never post again!

I disagree Pascal has plenty of heart maybe his English is not really good and he said the wrong thing. Anyone could've have seen he has a very big heart in fact. The thing that definitely is a factor is Pascal's stamina it was obvious to me that this guy was gassed by the seventh rd. Off balance and everything at one point he was so tired I thing Kovalev could've pushed him over.

I was pretty impressed with Pascal. I thought Kovalev was going to smash him. Pascal hit him with some great shots and one particular to the body really hurt Kovalev. I must admit there were a few moments that I thought the fight was really slipping away from Kovalev. All in all I still thought it was a pretty decent stoppage. Pascal call could barely walk!

Well, that's basically what happened...

Pascal was getting destroyed, his face was ****ed up, he was almost out on his feet for a big part of the fight.


Kovalev took few big shots, that could cost him a lot against a big puncher like Stevenson.
But the russian badass ALWAYS controled the fight.

If Pascal had shown any more heart, Kov would've lost. That simple.

I'm not sure I've ever seen more heart displayed by a boxer in my 50 years of watching fights. There may be a few that come close, but that was an amazing display I'd say.
