    I don't think so. I actually believe Kovalev is the one with more room for improvement. He was far more disciplined and consistent in his fight with Bernard than with Pascal.

    Pascal will only have a chance if Kovalev decides to fight more recklessly and less disciplined than he did last time, and even then I don't think this amounts to anything remotely approaching a "good chance".

    No.

    None.

    He may last longer this time if he elects to stay mobile, but he is not winning this fight.

    Kovalev won the first fight decisively. Why fight again? To beat him worse? Why? That kind of ego thing is going to get him in trouble. If he gets reckless with Pascal he could get laid out and then his career is worth much less. I could see f the first fight was close or there was some uncertainty. Stupid fight.

    $s is all it is. Kovalev has run out of name opponents - outside of Stevenson ofc, though I ain't holding my breath on that one.

    Probably a stay busy fight as everyone in the division is scared of Kovalev.

    No I'd expect Pascal to get stopped earlier this time around.

    This. Pascal was not even remotely competitive in the first fight. Unless Kovalev carries him I don't see Pascal getting past six rounds.

    I agree. He landed some punches that could have easily put someone on the canvas or possibly a KO, but when he wasn't landing big shots he was clearly being out boxed. He needs a knock out, I don't think he can get the decision.

    He has the same chance that Frosty the Snowman has of hanging around to mid july. Should not be a rematch just like no one should look for the snowman in july.

    Pascal has no chance against Kovalev. Just hope he doesn't plan on bringing his kids to the fight this time...!!!

    He has a very slight chance. He did at least genuinely cause some problems for Kovalev for a bit, he is tough and he can punch.
