I like most cant stand stevenson but I honestly dont see this as a 50/50 fight at all. kovalev is just a much better boxer and throws more punches. of course stevenson has a fair punchers chance but I wouldnt give him more than a 30% chance of landing the bomb and getting kovalev out of there. kovalev can out box him to a ud just as easily as he can knock him out

He had Pascal out on his feet three or four times and could have really damaged him permanently had the ref not stepped in when he did, but the important fact is that Pascal has an iron chin and had never been down as a pro...if I'm not mistaken.I'm not going to say he didn't impress me, but I think he is not as flawless as everyone thinks. I'd favour him over stevenson but the fight is honestly almost 50/50. kovalev took body shots poorly, and lost 2 rounds to a low output pascal.
and he claims he was taking the rounds off.
but he was being countered easily.
but I still favour him, but barely.
Stevenson is about to fight a career SMW who has 6 losses, he has 0 room to talk. If he ever faces Kovalev, he will get knocked out in vicious fashion.Comment

I used to think this was a 50/50 fight but Stevenson has slow feet and is the definition of one dimensional. His left hand is no joke for anybody but Kovalev is clearly the better boxer. I see him landing his power first.Comment
