Pascal might feel he can sharp shoot Kovalev with blind counters but wouldn't be surprised to see Kovalev box more than expected early. His boxing skill and subtle sets ups off jab are overlooked once the ceiling caves in. Doubt he'll get lost in overconfidence. Pascal may do well to attack from the jump or be knocked off balance all night.
I like how Pascal boxes, even though he missed a lot against Kovalev. Pascal has greater talent than Kovalev, but Kovalev is very efficient. This when we say "hard work beats talent"

Kovalev is must-see TV. He's sinister and makes it appear at least that he really enjoys putting the hurt on his opponents. As sick as that is, it means we have to watch him, even when he is in a rematch with Pascal that no one thought was necessary.
Yea the russain is very fun to watch and he is a pretty good boxer on top of being a ko puncher. If he keeps improving he has a great chance to rule the division for a while and it will be a fun division while is the champ there are some good match ups to come i think going to be fun to watch it.
I'll be cheering my ass off for my countryman but I just don’t think Roach can do much to re-invent Jean at this point. Be great if he could tighten him up a little with a few less hail marry shots that he's getting timed on now that he's older and a fraction slower.
Maybe good will overcome evil...

Pascal in contrast comes across as a selfish crybaby who plays the race card to gain sympathy.
Pascal has not played the race card has he?Quote:

Kov had a hard life and is trying to get his family into the US.
Kovalev seems more hungry because of his poor background , but it is not always the decisive factor, recall Mathissse vs. Garcia. However, this time, I would still bet on Kovalev, he seems still immune to star diseaseQuote:

All respect in the world for Pascal. He showed a lot of heart in their first fight. But maybe Kovalev should avoid the devastating KO win and win a close fight...... and maybe lure Adonis to peek his head in the door.
I feel like it can only be a repeat, Pascal can and will only fight the way he can. Hope to be wrong, but I don't buy that Roach or anything else will make a difference or come up with a way he can actually take rounds. Still looking forward to the card though, can't be a bad fight that's for sure.
St Juste looking a little his age in that round.
