Oh sorry I mistook the meaning of the your meme then. My apologies. I think Kovalev's powerful but at the end of the day he relies on it too much. He doesn't have fast feet and he only throws power punches. He is also mainly a mid range to out side hook (to quote dwyer). He can fight on the inside but his power is not the same and he gets countered a lot. Last night he got fustrated a lot by Agnew's movement and because he can't fight on the inside and he can't really box all that well you could see holes in his game. He started lunging into shots from distance. Plus he had trouble keeping his man on the ropes and got backed off on a regular basis. Pascal has better foot work then Agnew, is a better counter puncher and has more power. I alse believe that he is more durable (however clearly agnew is a durable guy). My point is that pascal moves well enough to fustrate Kovalev and screw up his footwork. He has the speed to hit him and get out. He has the toughness to take his shots (for a time) and he has the counter punching ability to take advantage of Kovalev's wide open guard once Kovalev gets on the inside. Kovalev has monster power and is always in position to throw it. He also sets it up well like Arthur Abraham. That all makes for an interesting match-up.

p.s. fast forward to 22:50 mins to see why Kovalev would need to do much better at defending himself on the inside then he did against agnew.

Good stuff, I also see much more openings than Agnew leaves. That left hook will definitely land, Kovalev could get caught by those fast twitch counters, interesting fight...Should be next :bbb

Stevenson vs Kovalev is 50/50 fight , pascal is not stevenson , he doesn't hit as hard and kovalev would beat him either by tko or UD.

Pascal has face Hopkins, Froch, Diaconnu, Dawson, Bute, all world champion. Pascal is no Agnew. He is waaaayyy faster than Kovalev and haa more latteral movement.
