    There's still time to change and make a man out of yourself. These posts just show you are still in the negative rut that keeps
    you from the truth and progress from the hole you've dug yourself in. You dig?

    Kovalev wins easily on points? Opinions? I am debating putting a bet on this as it seems likely and is 100/30

    On points ? Pascal is at home so if there're any close rounds , then you can be sure those rounds will go to pascal.

    It did look like Hopkins buckled Kovalev at one point later in the fight right a lead right hand.

    I just hope this isn't a complete blow out either way. It looks good on paper, but then so did Molina Broner.

    Last time a rumor like this popped up it was about Chad Dawson getting clocked cold by Edison Miranda in sparring to prep for the Andre Ward fight. Dawson's trainer Scully confirmed this a week after the bout although he said the stories of smelling salts being used and Dawson being out of it for days were completely exaggerated. Who knows. But plenty of great fighters have been dropped in sparring before some of their biggest wins, so it doesn't matter all that much from where anyone outside the Kovalev camp sits.

    People have this weird notion that no world class fighter EVER gets dropped in sparring despite sparring other world class fighters. It happens. Often... Sort of like the notion that everyone on ESB believes that fighters don't ever drop down 15+% of their body mass to make weight. It happens. And not just often, but literally every single fighter. Example being Bone vs. Porter. When you get a fighter taking a fight on no notice, they always compete 2+ divisions above their usual fighting weight even when they are in active training. Weight cutting is a huge part of the game (see the scene of boxing for the article today on Duva speaking on Kovalev's weight draining). Just like how sparring, and getting hurt or dropped in sparring, is.

    Wouldn't surprise me at all. Kovalev's chin is pure glass.

    Dawson was dropped and badly hurt by Miranda during preparation for Ward though. Numerous sources confirmed it. Tony Bellew said he saw the video of it on a thread in the Brit forum. Dawson was also getting beaten up all throughout that camp by Lionell Thomson as well.

    I'm told by more than one person in the know that Lionell Thompson had his way with Chad Dawson in sparring leading up to Sept 8th.
