I'm not saying Jean will beat him but he's got a great chin and is going to land on Kovalev from some of those odd angles.

Jean Pascal will face the unified champion light heavyweight Sergey Kovalev at the beginning of next year in Quebec, InterBox confirmed Monday afternoon.
More details to come
I can't wait for this! Go Jean!!
I fear for any one facing Kovalev he really hurt Hopkins, and Hopkins was lucky to go the full 12 rounds, Pascal will try but Kovalev is a monster puncher it's a big ask for Jean this fight.Quote:

Stevenson is pretty much watching his career pass by if he doesn't get a big fight sometime soon, but maybe he doesn't want any of Kovalev. I don't know that I'd give him any more of a chance than I do Pascal.
Yeah what's up with that, Stevenson has been very quiet. I don't blame him for not wanting to get in the ring g with Kovalev but in general he's been very quiet.Quote:

Agree with everything you said. Stevenson is going to look bad if he avoids Kovalev, he would look better being KOed than running.Quote:

is kovalev fighting all of the fighters that stevenson is ducking? first bhop now pascal. haha.
pascal is a solid opponent. he has a great chin so i expect it to go the distance but kovalev is on another level. pascal will have his moments but in the end, kovalev wins easily.
will be an interesting fight
I really like Pascal - one of my faves - but he has shown continual stamina problems in the past so I don't expect him to reach the end in good shape if it goes 12.
What he does have is a good chin, power and angles - I'd like to actually see him go for the kill in the first 4 rounds - what a statement that would be if he pulled it off lol.
A short war would give him better odds than slugging it out over 12 imo
