Pascal doesn't see round 6 this time around.

Damn Roach is in for the worst year of his career after this one.

Pointless rematch. Convincing tko 1st time round, didn't end in any controversy or split decision so really don't see the point in this

Pointless rematch. I give pascal props for using the rematch clause after such a beating. I like both but im not interested in this rematch. The 1st fight wasn't competitive at all.

After the beating Pascal took last time out, this doesn't look promising at all.

Kind of fight where you can take life altering punishment.

why? he just got with Pascal. Cotto was expected to lose to Canelo and arguably won, drew or lost 7-5 (yes I rescored it mofo). Floyd, the favorite, did the bare minimum to outpoint a post-Marquez Pacquiao....who am I missing? Postol won as an underdog...I can't recall any other big fights.

I guess if Pascal gets stopped worse than he had before, that would be a bad look, equally if Pascal does better, some might think it a minor improvement. Unless Pascal completely turns it around in a rematch I don't think you can credit or discredit Freddie.

The worst year of his career was Khan getting ko'd and Pac getting ko'd.

Roach has nothing to lose in this fight. Few people give Pascal a shot so if he would turn this around and win this fight, Roach is going to look like a genius.

kinda a quick stoppage. pascal won two rounds in a row on all the score cards then a single shot and it's waved off. not that pascal would win but a very odd timing to stop the fight.
