In a second fight, kovalev wouldn't let that happen and still win easily.

Also, on another note, I really don't want kovalev to fight Stevenson because he doesn't deserve the fight for ducking him before.
Kovalev definitely scored more, but Pascal could be better than that. It was his inactivity that caused him to falter down the stretch, and Kovalev was being hit from Pascal.

I can see a rematch. I can also see a Dawson/Kovalev match as well. May as well...
pascal always fights in spurts though and isnt known for his stamina. kovalev made him fight and pascal used all his energy up in 2 rounds. if they fought again, kovalev would fight a little more cautious and probably KO him in the 10th or 11th.
