Comments Thread For: Stevenson Gives Pascal Puncher's Chance To Shock Kovalev

[Hougigo]

pascal was hurt so badly early on in the fight. he regained his focus and counter punched beautifully for to win 2 rounds in a row. I know a lot of people liked the stoppage for what happened 3 rounds prior.
but in the round of the stoppage pascal wasnt even hurt.

Kovalev's chin isnt talked about for guy that's been down so many times in his career.

Yea, that's why he was stumbling towards the ropes during a ref break, seconds before he was knocked out
Even before the stoppage, he was sent back hard against he ropes on bad legs

[vitali1999]

He had a punchers chance the first time they fought. Why he's getting a rematch after getting knocked out is beyond me

He's been down but I have not seen him hurt.

Wilder has not been down but he looked wobbly by that shot from Molina.

Maybe I'm way off, but I took Pascal's lousy performance against Gonzalez over the summer as a sign he was indeed badly damaged in/from the first Kov fight. Either that or he just didn't train enough and/or his coach didn't scout Gonzalez fight films enough. Pascal just did not seem right in that one. Granted Gonzalez surprised everyone with his best performance, although since he lost badly to Shabranskyy.

Going into this one though, to me Pascal can't win without a homerun. And even with that, I doubt Kov would stay down. We'll see soon enough though... 5 weeks and counting. Get past this one, then the Kov/Adonis Super Fight... or Stupor Fight if you're ******man.

Didn't lose badly at all. Fought tooth and nail with Shab. I had it 8-2 for Slava BUT those rounds were very hard fought. He gave it hisall. Pascal also came in heavy for Gonzalez, didn't train nearly as proper. Weighed 178 I believe

that same cat boone said he knocked down kovalev 3 times but they only counted one knockdown and somehow kov won a SPLIT DECISION.
boone is the same cat who knocked down andre ward stevenson and kovalev and knocked down kov THREE times.
and bc stevenson is the man that BEAT THE MAN chad dawson

Understood. But none the less, THAT VERSION of Stevenson that you said would beat THIS KOVA, lost to Boone.

Do you see the problem with what you're saying? You should have picked a different version of Adonis.

Also, Dawson was hardly the man. He lost to Pascal already going into that fight. Beating Hopkins who beat Pascal hardly changes that. Styles make fights. Pascal likely would have beaten Chad again.
