Good to see another last fight from HBO. Pascal is brave and still quick, but this is going to a very steep ask of him against Bivol, especially after Pascal’s last fight with the tough but limited mma fighter Steve Bosse.
Bivol knocks him out.
He Who Is Brave Is Free
Wisdom, compassion and courage are the three universally recognised moral qualities of men.
Pascal needs to stop. He's already getting punchy. I don't see Bivol making mistakes under pressure from Pascal. Pascal might make it to then end but i think he gets clipped and pummeled till they stop it. He wont quit on his own.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.

Yea I see Pascal either taking a beating into the final bell or a late mercy stoppage.

Dmitry Bivol - Fighter of the year 2019!
Former Undisputed 4 belt Prediction champion. Still P4P and People’s Champion.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Bivol in current form is a recipe for brutal disaster for Pascal who needed a 1-0 ex mma fighter so he could shine last out. Poor guy is at the point where his legs pop and lock old street dance style at the hint of heavy punches. Though Bivol didn't exactly look like a trail blazing power house, almost disinterested at times, last time out v Chilemba and Pascal still has some fast hands very very early. That's about all he has left.
Hbo last card is Chocolatito? much irony in that at this stage.

Honestly I think that LHW is the best weight to do it if everyone is on board. Bivol, Beterbiev, Alvarez, Stevenson, Gvozdyk, Kovalev, Jack, Yarde, Brown, Barrera, Smith.
A few of those guys are already fighting each other or have fought each other (which is great for the division), but that division needs to see who the best really is.
