Re: Sergey Kovalev - Jean Pascal this weekend
i think it was a good stoppageOriginally Posted by TitoFan
this is besides the point because it is the job of numerous people around the ring to keep the fighters safe but Kovalev is a complete animal and doesnt seem to really care for his opponents health

Re: Sergey Kovalev - Jean Pascal this weekend
I guess I could use the same word as Brock (early) For me it was looking at Pascal @ the stoppage. When a fighter can question the ref, doesn't wobble around, then it tells me he had his faculties.
It's not in my book of all time bad stoppages, but gotta wonder fellaz...if that had been Steve Smoger, do we think he would have stopped it like that? Aren't those moments what a standing 8 can come into play?
No complaints from me, not a bad stoppage, but premature; probably.

Re: Sergey Kovalev - Jean Pascal this weekend
I find it fascinating how the brain works in these situations. A fighter can get chinned, be out of it, and then in a split second land a punch that hurts the other bloke and in an instant shake off those effects of being chinned and go on the attack.
There's no rhyme or reason to it, it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it's amazing.
Chris Eubank used to a do a great speech called the killing time, all about the moment when the fight is won and lost. It doesn't seem to matter who created that moment, it's all about who recognises it's presence.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

Well at least you and Brock said "early", not "horrible" like VD, which is par for the course as far as he's concerned.
Slim, did you not see Pascal stumbling from one corner to the other like a drunkard while Kovalev was getting up from his trip and fall?
I hate to disagree with you, buddy... but more often than not, even boxers who have definitely had enough complain about the stoppage to the referee. It's a natural reaction. There's a lot of pride involved, remember. Look at the recent ring deaths, in particular the 23-year old Australian fighter who just died. Like I said in a previous post, we as fans watching an exciting, riveting fight... will always want to see it continue. So when the stoppage comes there is naturally a certain degree of disappointment. But IMO, we can't let that disappointment color our judgment on whether a stoppage is premature or not.
