Kovalev knocks out Pascale [Video]

im fine with the stopage, i like pascal, he's a fighter's fighter.

 

wish it was that fat English ref and he'd tried to carry Sergey back to the corner then waved it off

 

Yes, from that angle it looks like a bad stoppage plus that there should definitely have been a KD count with the fall of Kovalev, who fell after a punch.

But I am still ok with the stoppage, Pascal had problem getting back in his corner, and we all saw in slowmo the brutal punch he got there in the corner. Apparently Pascal's tympanum burst in the third round, making him loose his balance for the rest of the fight.

 

**** sake cant say a bad word about Kovalev on here without everyone going mad, that lad just said from that angle it looked like a bad stoppage

 

aye he did fantastic fighting through that, he looked wobbly the rest of the fight from that point on.

Did the punch actually land I thought it did initally but then found a replay where it looked like it didnt, nobody said a word about it.
