I haven't seen much of Beterbiev but judging from what I saw, he's a bit crude. Kovalev's in and out movement combined with his hand speed, power and pinpoint accuracy would make him a huge favorite going into that fight. If Kovalev were to ever lose, it would be to a master boxer.
Pascal doesn't have stamina problems? Pascal is KNOWN for having stamina problems. And Kovalev is a plodder? He outboxed Hopkins. He was feinting and countering Hopkins in that fight. You don't know **** about boxing.
He also said Kovalev has poor defense. Pascal's not exactly James Toney either. He's pretty hittable.
Kovalev seeing today in Pascal an opponent that will not give up ,quit be intimidated any of that. Pascal is goin to fighting hard till the end. He's coming hard for kovalev he's going to put it all out there
