Should Pascal have been allowed to continue?

[Weltschmerz]

that he's not been around pascal enough to know what it looks like when he's badly hurt or completely exhausted, how his dimeanor looks, etc, is hugely important. he'd never worked a corner for pascal in his life. just because you don't understand what goes on in a fighter's corner doesn't mean it's a weak argument

Well he didn't look badly hurt, that was my point. And he didn't quit. But I like the fact that there were no complaints after from Pascal, and that he showed respect. Roach was very quick with the warnings after a few rounds only, which appeared a little befuddling.

I didn't watch the fight either live or in replay.
I imagine it looked like some sort of torture.

[JJRod]

The rematch with Kovalev? And if yes, would he have had a chance to turn things around? It was a championship fight after all, but it ended up looking easier for Sergey than their first meeting.

Naw dude, if anything the fight should have been stopped way earlier. Roach gave two many extra minutes where serious damage could have happened.

I don't remember what round, but there was a round where Pascal didn't throw anything.

[Hougigo]

If you wanted him to die, sure

[Willy Wanker]

Good stoppage, I thought Pascal had no chance to make a comeback anyways.

I know this is boxing and anything could have happened, but even if Pascal pulled off a miracle somehow, he would have took even more damage in the process.

He didn't want to continue. He opposed the first time Roach wanted to stop the fight, but then the second time he back to his corner after Roach gave him a chance, he knew it was over and he didn't say a word. So no, you can't send a fighter out there to fight if he doesn't want to, he could end up getting injured or have his career or life ended.

Roach also knew that Kovalev was blatantly backing off so the fight wouldn't be stopped

Kovalev wanted to give Pascal long term brain damage

And Pascal wasn't doing **** whatsoever, dude had zero left

[SUBZER0ED]

Yet Pascal seemed able to continue. I'm all for protecting a fighter, it's not that. Roach was very early with the warnings, after what round 4?Perhaps it was due to the fact that he was indeed facing Kovalev, and not some other fighter.

You consider Pascal able to continue why, because he was conscious? If the fight had gone on, he would have been a dead man.

[Larry the boss]

No, he got his ass kicked

[BKM-]

Yes but only to see Sergey make him more pain.
