Thread: Sergey Kovalev - Jean Pascal this weekend

Ring magazine fighter of the year Sergey Kovalev takes on the tough Jean Pascal this weekend which will be an outstanding fight. Pascal has been in good form since his defeat to Hopkins and having only tasted defeat to Froch as well, he has only lost to the very best. But does he have what it takes to defeat Kovalev? Going off the Hopkins fights for both men you wouldn't think so. He's also not really a busy fighter a lot of the time and fights in spells. I don't also see how that will be enough to beat Kovalev either. Kovalev is really good and he proved that last time out and was rightfully fighter of the year. I see him winning a UD here.

I bet Stevenson takes the loser... which means Pascal. smh...

That's still a massive fight though, especially in Canada

I'm pretty sure he's going to take on Kovalev next I'm sure It does have to happen night

Driving defensively. Smart!

Pascal can't fight for twelve rounds anymore. I'll be amazed if he manages to hear the final bell here. Either he gets sparked or stopped late. If a miracle happens and he hears the final bell then it'll be a wide Kovalev points win.

I look for a ROTY candidate somewhere in this fight. Kudos to Pascal for stepping up.

Sergey Kovalev is a beast and is great to watch him at work. I like Pascal but Kovalev is destined to meet and beat Stevenson.

Sergey Kovalev v Jean Pascal : IBF/WBO/WBA Light-Heavyweight Titles
Vyacheslav Glazkov v Steve Cunningham : 12 Rounds Heavyweight
Vasily Lepikhin v Isaac Chilemba : 12 Rnds Light-heavyweight

Pascal has the ability to hurt Kovalev. He had Hopkins down and Kovalev has been down before.

Cunningham vs Glazkov could be interesting...Cunningham surprised me at heavyweight ...he was decent enough against Fury,until Fury used every physical advantage he had against much smaller Cunningham...and a good enough win against Masour...

As for Pascal vs Kovalev...yeah Kovalev will most probably win this,but an upset by Pascal wouldn't be that surprising IMO...

Terrible style for Pascal who wants a slow fight. There was a reason Hopkins raced to meet Pascal, Pascal likes a pace that Hopkins likes. Sergei won't let Pascal fight at his pace. Pascal will start covering up and Sergei will destroy the body. The question is do the body shots end it or do his hands drop and a head shot ends it. This won't go 12(I hate saying that because any time fans agree a fight won't go 12 inevitably it does)

Kudos to Sergey Kovalev for going to Canada into the lions den. There have been a few suspect decisions there of late. I hope Marcos B Wright is not the referee

It's Marlon B. Wright and you're the one who took their name from a disgraced corrupt judge. Moron.
