Pascal doesn't seem to know how to punch properly. He slaps and doesn't get full extention or turn his punches. I think Green is too strong to fast for him. Green has real power too.
I think Green will knock Pascal out for this reason . Pascal has a weak defense and Green is heavyhanded! Pascal is not a puncher, who can take advantage of Green one weakness, his chin. Green is probably quicker as well.
Indeed, Pascal tries to fight to like RJJ , but he does not have the reflexes like Roy to avoid punches. Pascal gets hit alot, RJJ was able to avoid getting touched fighting in that style.
Ikeke shouldn't have been able to last past the 6th the way he was fighting. Pascal slapped and mugged him for 12 rounds and even tho he landed dozens of clean shots, Ikeke was never really hurt by anything. That is telling, considering that Ikeke has 20 months of ring rust and Abraham KOed him in his last fight.
After tonight's performances, the idea of fight is actually more laughable than Johnson eyeing Peter.
I see nothing to suggest from either fighter that this fight would be anything other than a pick em fight. Green has faced the better competition,no doubt, but he has also struggled with lesser fighters than Pascal. Like Linton, who arguably beat him, and McCrary, who had him ready to go. The 4 or 5 times I've seen Pascal, he's won clearly, although as some have mentioned...his defense isn't great and his power is average at best. Green may be the more polished fighter here, but Pascal has just as much talent. I'd love to see this fight happen though, instead of Manfredo-Green.
