Result that I expected but not exactly the way I saw it happening, Pascal did a helluva job to fight back after that 3rd round.

What a fight!

Pascal showed me skills I have never seen for him. His shoulder roll catch and shoot counter was impeccable . If he fought anyone else that way from 168- 175 Pascal wins.
Sergey may be even better than GGG.

His chin is unmatched. pascal hit him with everything... And nothing

What a Champion!
Sergey pound for pound has to be at least 2

Only criticism I can make about Kovalev, and I'll admit that this is being really nit-picky, but he can get off balance fairly easily. If he misses with his jab there are times when it looks like he might fall over, if not for falling into his opponent. Does it matter? Probably not, I really don't know who could make him pay for it, but it does seem like the one obvious trend of his that I could see being a potential weak spot.

So what's next? Can they make the Adonis fight happen? Does Adonis even want it to happen? Assuming it does and he wins, is Ward the only thing left? Is Beterbiev ready in a year or two?

Adonis is scared lol

And Ward , can he even fight yet? Is he out from under Goosen?
I've lost faith in Ward altogether

Yeah, his Goosen contract was finally severed after Dan passed away. Now he's with Jay Z and Roc Nation.

There was talk of shooting for a next bout in April but I've heard nothing about an opponent so next month is obviously not realistic. This article says that Duva claims there have been talks about a Ward fight in early 2016, guess we'll have to wait and see.

What's in Sergey Kovalev's future if he beats Jean Pascal? - Ring TV

$100 for the PBF fight. Unreal. I hadn't planned on buying, but that kills any chance. Might go watch in the theater if anything.

Thought the same thing. As I knew would happen, I was slowly starting to talk myself into being excited about the fight and then they announced the price. Now I'm back to being not in the "meh" camp about it.

I'm still convinced that BHop can beat Adonis.

Amir Khan scared to fight Kell Brook?

Don't know that I disagree with you on that but I don't want to watch another Hopkins fight in my life. He was all time great at what he does but it's so painful to watch. Ride off into the sunset time, please.

As for Khan, I've read that most people assume that he is thinking about being first in line for the winner of May 2nd. Not sure anyone else thinks he'd be first in line but apparently he does.

I thought Lamont clearly won that fight. I had it even after 6 and Lamont dominated te fight after that.

Must be nice to have Al Haymon in your corner. Another present for Danny "Gift" Garcia

Andy Lee is a sterotypical Irish boxer, one of my favorite recent fights. I assume those 2 will fight again, as there's not a whole lot going on behind them to get killed by GGG until you get to maybe Eubank.

A certain sadist in me kind of hopes that Dave1967 has some crazy foreshadowing that makes no sense and Danny G gets beaten to a pulp by moving up in size.

Was gonna ask if anyone watched that yesterday. I'm outta the country on my honeymoon so I wasn't able/didn't care enough to look online to watch but, from what I read on Twitter today, for a Wlad fight, it was actually fairly entertaining.

It was a decent fight but never particularly close. Jennings had a good plan, problem being he's not good enough to make it work.

Much better than watching range finding jabs for 15 minutes then some sap being hit with a club.

Haven't kept up with the slate for the weekend except the big one tomorrow night. Who's got that fight tonight? FNF? Showbox?
