    It's great for me if there is some merit to astrology. If in the future if there is a smallish, old, inexperienced heavyweight to win a title there's something to astrology. I'm not going to bet the house on that though.:naughty BTW, birthplace has something to do with it too.

    I don't believe in it very much but I have noticed most fighters who are Aries like me really have similar characteristics. Calzaghe, Wladimir, Kovalev Golovkin, Pavlik, Guerrero all Aries and have a similar demeanor I think has something to do with the time of year you're born, it could possibly be the environment or climate may effect your development in the womb, it has nothing to do with the stars, or at least I don't think it does.

    The astrological computer program that predicted my supposed future greatness was actually based on Chinese astrology, which according to my then stepmother, who was the one into astrology, is not so much based on the stars as it is based on the cycles of time. Interesting thing about that particular computer program is a television show decided to test it by giving supposedly random data to it. However, vital statistics of serial killers were mixed in with random people and the program was able to consistently profile their evilness. Weird. Probably won't be accurate in my case though:verysad

    I love that Kovalev drives a minivan, and his wife doesn't put the kid in a car seat, just holds him in her lap!

    Russians are hard core dudes that don't care about looks, style or what people think of them. Contrast that with pretty boy Pascal and it's comical.

    The only thing that concerns me is that Kovalev is obviously a very involved dad, which is excellent, but his eyes look tired, like he's been waking up several times a night for 6 months straight to help take care of a baby.

    Also, what's with the breathe right strip? Is it smart to train with a breathing aid, and then have to fight without it?

    There's definitely something to it, just not sure what it is. Because if you look at celebrity or boxer birthdays lists, most of the people who are born under those particular signs are similar in the behavior patterns, almost always.

    pascal is a cool guy so it will be hard to watch him get beaten until he takes a dump in his trunks. pascal doesn't have the gas tank or the finishing power to win this fight, should be an exciting fight though.
