Sergey Kovalev - Jean Pascal this weekend

[Julius Rain]

Horrible stoppage. Stupid call by a horrible stoppage

Ref saved Pascal foo, Kov was about to give him CTE.

I remember Pacquiao was supposedly about to give Marquez CTE. Ended up drooling face first on the mat.

Watching the slow motion replays here. Ref got it perfectly right.

Does anybody think Haymon will make Kovalev-Stevenson? I suppose Main Events aren't going to have a problem showing it on NBC. But are Haymon and his backers going to outbankroll what HBO would pay to show it?

Good stoppage as far as I'm concerned, Pascal is game as anyone, but he was tired and beginning to take a beating!
Great fight that saved the night for HBO.
Liked hearing Hopkins behind the mic, he's not the most articulate guy, but absolutely believable.
HBO, Pascal, Canada, and Hopkins all want to see Kovalev/Pascal rematch. It doesn't appeal that much to me, but how do you guys feel about it?

I'd say about 99% saw it as a good stoppage.

[Gandalf]

I'd say closer to 15%. I want to see a man stopped and if he isn't going down then it is because he isn't ready to go down. Pascal was the same as that in the 3rd or 4th and he weathered it like a warrior. You have to give the benefit of the doubt to a man that doesn't know what it means to be stopped. Boxing would be lame if you stopped it every time someone got hurt.

Lucky punch and you know it. Word is Marquez isn't Mexican, never heard of a Mexican not wanting another rematch. You know you can't respect that.
