Gonzalez lost last time out in another close fight to a Ukranian fighter. Hed get destroyed by Kov.
No interest in the Pascal rematch. Cant see how he can win.

I think Kovalev will stop Pascal properly this time.
Don't get this fight either, first one was fun, but Pascal fought the only way he could. He can't work for 3 minutes a round, you can't rest in there with Kovalev, I don't see what he can do besides go out on his shield again. I wanted to see Pascal-Stevenson, that would be an interesting fight.
The worst case scenario of this fight is if Pascal is tentative plays defence all night. But the odds of him doing that and running from Kov all night long is slim to none.
He doesn't have the skills or the legs to do that anyways, Kovalev will still land on him. Pascal was almost stopped trying to feel out Kovalev last time and so to his credit threw it all to the wind and made it interesting. He must be getting paid pretty well to want this again.
It's probably the best available opponent for Kovalev currently in terms of a dance partner to keep him active until the Ward fight. There are up and comers who would arguably make a better test for Kovalev than somebody he's already beaten but nobody who can fill an arena and has the name recognition for TV like Pascal. So it suits both of them. Pascal gets another big payday in one of his last big fights and Kovalev also gets a big payday and stays busy for Ward.
This fight is kinda pointless but as of right now there not many who could fill the spot. I like when fighters will take fights to stay active even though some are not the best it is better then not fighting then you just get rusty and that is not a good thing so what can you do really.
In all the fights I have seen Pascal in, he does not do better in rematches.
Another Kovalev KO coming up.
Big truck coming: Part 2
Kovalev racist piece of shit.
Kovalev has apologised for any offence caused and I believe him.
Kov will stop Pascal, he hates him from what I read.
