It looks like it is in fact happening:

Pascal has all the attributes the problem is he's just a little bit dim in the ring.

even if he makes it past 4 rounds he will likely gas, which seems to happen all the time. Shocked me as when i watch the Froch fight they went full throttle for 12 rounds, he's never really managed it since.

Good fight in a division that gets more shallow by the minute.

Stevenson pretty much has Bute to make a buck off of and nothing else right now.

Decent fight. But really as a boxing fan I want to see Stevenson - Krusher. Would be good to see the Pimp woman beater Krushed.

The main question is, can Kovalev stop Pascal?

glazkov vs cunningham eliminator
shame ibf normally have 4 man elim

either way, hope for a glazkov win to see both wlad and glazkov, both ukraine, fight in kiev

What a great matchup. Got to give credit to both Kovalev and Pascal's matchmaking, these are two guys who genuinely seek out the best fights to make then make them. As for the fight, well I think Kovalev wins this one pretty easily to be honest. Pascal has been hurt in numerous fights before (Hopkins 2, Bute, Froch) even in his last fight with Bute Pascal was completely fatigued in the last few rounds and was rocked many times by Bute. Kovalev hit harder than anyone Pascal has faced and is a consistent attacker and volume puncher. Kovalev wins by KO 6 in my opinion and I think he will dominate every round.
