Ortiz is a very strange person. There's something not right with him. He's quite uniquely strange too.
Pascal went 27 rounds with Kovalev and Froch and was not knock down once (he was close in the first round but still). Not to many boxer could do that right now.
Kovalev dropped him in the 3rd in their first meeting, hung over the ropes but a legit KD, and did it again in the 1st of their second bout only for some reason the referee didn't count that. Still he has a granite chin, that's for sure.
Pascal has no shame. He got violated twice, lost a bet, quit on his stool and now coming out with this ****. The brain damage is strong in him, no doubt. Needs to retire and stop with this nonsense.
Although they might seem as sore losers, but the fighters are actually going on by what they remember. 12 rounds vs Froch for a vacant belt, where Pascal suffered his first loss stuck to his mind more than the sub-conscious performances vs Kovalev, his main tool of recording the memory was degraded Alot of boxers said this & they are not lying...The mind is naturally wired that way, confabulation & self deception are primary in humans or they would have never been able to cope with the side effects of increased self awareness/extended life spans
Froch had to hit George Groves with the perfect shot to put his lights out and Groves has always been chinny. Groves wouldn't make it out of the first round against Kovalev. It would be an absolute massacre. Froch cracked Bute with about 5000 flush power punches and Bute was still conscious at the finish. Granted he did inevitably wilt under the sustained assault and it was only a matter of seconds and a few more shots before he did hit the canvas, but what in god's do you think Kovalev would've done to Bute had he caught him flush with that many power shots? It doesn't even bear thinking about. It would be ugly with a capital U. Froch hits hard no doubt and I've said in the past that I think his power is underrated by some. However, he's not even known as a savage puncher at 168. Kovalev is not only known for being a savage puncher at 175 but he is also widely regarded as one of the most destructive punchers in the entire sport. Ask any boxing fans to list the top 3 hardest punchers in the sport and you'll be hearing the name Sergey Kovalev again and again. The same cannot be said for Froch, and that goes for at any stage of his career as well.
Good post. You may be right. If fighting Froch was more traumatic than Kovalev to Pascal, then he may well remember it like that.
Of course froch hits way harder than Kovalev or any fighter, for that matter. Had you not seen what he did to the iron chinned bute, or groves ? That's him ko'ing two of the very best chins I've ever seen. And Froch had not landed a single clean shot on either warrior's all night long. He should be going after a haye fight just to warm up for A Joshua's belt. Bute stood up to Andrade all night long without a simple flinch
