Do you recall the punishment and ass beating he gave Pascal?
I can see Kovalev letting Adonis have a few extra rounds just to punish him.
Kovalev does smell when his opponent is on the ropes and would go in for the kill. Jack... did not.
Hell, at this point even Bivol would whoop Adonis... although more risk of him getting caught with something.
Pascal is my favorite hometown guy but he was never a technically sound fighter, he always relied on his athleticism. For the simple fact that Adonis actually uses a jab, that alone makes him a better technical boxer than Pascal.
Though, it actually contributed to him tiring up, we've seen yesterday that Adonis won't shy away from a "phone booth fight". As seen twice against Ward, Kovalev wants no part of an inside fight.
Kovalev wants to keep you at the end of his punches with his 72½″ reach. It's a bit trickier to do it against a southpaw with a 77″ reach who also uses his jab and has a rocket launcher for a left hand (just like Kov's right hand I'll admit).
You might be right, but until proven otherwise, I still have Kovalev vs Stevenson as a 50-50 fight.
