I voted Kovalev by KO.
BUT anyone who thinks that Pascal is a cakewalk is kidding themselves. He's at the very top top of the heavyweight division. He's fast, strong, has a excellent chin, he's really tough and he makes it difficult for his opponent to hit him with his herky jerky style when he's worried about their power. He'll be fighting with the knowledge that he gained from the first fight with Kovalev. He knows more about Kov now than he did in the first fight....and Kov knows more about Pascal.
Kovalev got hit by some pretty solid shots in the first fight. He'll have to spend more time picking Pascal apart if he wants to win this in a safe but sure fashion. Pascal's best chance is to bum rush Kov early in the fight. Preferably fighting in close.Part of me thinks that Freddie Roach will have Pascal come out in the first round being aggressive and attempting to KO Kov immediately. The longer the fight goes, the worse it is for Pascal. This is a good fight from two top light heavyweights! I'm excited! I hope Kov wins BUT do NOT sleep on Pascal.
At the pre fight press conference didn't they say that Kov only trained for 3 weeks for this fight. Pascal trained 8 weeks with Roach and 4 weeks before Roach got him. If Kov trained only 3 weeks he's in for a rude awakening !
