Kovalev is facing Pascal again in Jan

Kovalev really has no one else to fight. He can't get the Stevenson fight so there isn't too much left to do. A Pascal rematch isn't the best option but it isn't the worst either I guess. Once he can actually fight Ward, and if he wins, he needs to move up to cruiserweight and start krushing that division.

I see the Beterbiev fight happening soon in an all Russian showdown, after Kovalev deals with Pascal again.

The Beterbiev fight will be after Ward. They need time to build Beterbiev up into a bigger name so it's a bigger fight. He'll probably be on the Kovalev-Ward undercard if the promoters can work a deal out.

In order for Roach to have any effect, Pascal with have to abandon those things that have worked to his advantage in the past but even if Roach gets him to tighten up and little and use the ring more wisely it could have a positive effect.

BTW the Ring has stripped Stevenson of their title and Kovalev was actually a mandatory for Steveson but backed out of a purse bid earlier in the year.
