Looks like it's Kovalev - Pascal 2

[powerpuncher]

He should give Fonfara an opportunity

Isn't he the mandatory for a Stevenson rematch? I think that's why it's not happening.

Also, kovalev would really hurt fonfara with his lack of defense.

So kovalev isn't a mandatory? Also, Stevenson should be fighting Pascal. Big Canadian fight

Horrible rematch imo, the first fight was really good, but only competitive for a couple of rounds. Pascal was fucked early, fought out of his skin to get through it and land his best punches, couldn't hurt Kovalev with them and then got flattened. At the absolute best it would be a repeat of that, the way I see it, so what's the point. Pascal-Stevenson would be a much more interesting fight.

Yeah.... Pascal should fight Stevenson before he gets permanently ruined by Kovalev.

He has the WBC "Diamond" belt so that makes him automatic mandatory

Stevenson v Pascal makes sense but Kovalev is the best light heavyweight.
