Official highlights
Another mismatch tonight. Not really Kovalev’s fault. After all, who wants to fight him? Nobody who wants to end up like Mohammedi.
Yep, mismatch. Mohammedi looked like a KO waiting to happen. Thanks to ATBF for posting the fights so fast :)
Pascal does, he said after his match this is the rematch that he wants. His match was a lot better than this, but it was a bit of a robbery…
Not a bit – full blown robbery.
You’re right. He’s almost the only one, lol! I respect Pascal, true warrior, and a very thoughtful fighter. But this schedule has been brutal and he has paid dearly. More Kovalev might ruin him.
At least he’s trying, unlike another Quebecer star Adonis Stevenson, who is scheduled to fight Tommy Karpency, who fights guys with .500 records.
Jean Pascal nicknames Adonis “Aducknis Chickenson”, a name that proved to be well suited in the last few years.
Both Pascal and Gonzalez would have done the same with Muhammedi. It’s then hard to give Kovalev any credit. And I agree with mattsnow81. Who wants to fight him? Pascal. No matter what are you thoughts on the Pascal-Gonzalez fight, Pascal is the only one asking for it! :P
It is funny.
I remember someone – either Sanchez or Jackson saying the Kovalev was the meanest person they had ever scene inside a ring. I thought that peculiar until this fight. When they went to the canvas it looked like he deliberately put his knee into it.
And finally – someone (Kellerman) coming out and
calling for Ward Vs Kovalev. Wards last fight was at LHW. He was a LHW in the ams. No catch weight. Full on for the belts. Vegas baby.
