I wonder if the ref will be fair? If it goes to the cards, will the Canadian officials rob Sergey? Pascal is very durable and difficult to hit flush, he may survive the distance.

Is it because they still feel the need to wear Canadian flag patches on their backpacks when they go overseas so as not to be singled out and have small children chase them down the street throwing stones? Don't worry. The Canadian embassy will always be there to shelter you and sneak you out of whatever country you find yourself besieged in.

yeah sorry, mixed him up with bute. still kovalev is going to stop him, he punches harder than froch and is a bigger man (froch is a natural SMW).

Nobody hates Canada. Canada is just like.........there! There is a massive inferiority complex amongst Canadians however, but I cannot blame them, they have to live their lives in the shadow of another country. I think that may be frustrating. But damn can they play hockey!

Light heavyweight contender Jean Pascal is also preparing in Big Bear, CA but not at The Summit. Instead, he is training at Shane Mosley’s nearby gym with his team which includes controversial conditioning coach Angel “Memo” Heredia. When I asked Sanchez if Golovkin and Pascal had sparred together, it was my turn to be surprised.

“No, no, never. Back in November, I talked to [Pascal’s trainer] Mark Ramsey and I talked to some of [Pascal’s] people. Pascal came up to my gym and looked at my gym and decided he wanted to train at my gym. He rented a house and he was going to be up the last week in December. But right after I talked to Pascal and we came to an agreement on terms, I found out that he was working with ’Memo’ Heredia. And I really don’t want that in my gym, so I asked him to back out. I told [Ramsey] that I was going to back out on our agreement because I really didn’t want to be involved with somebody that was working with Heredia.”

Heredia is a former P.E.D. dealer-turned-government witness whom, in recent years, has reinvented himself as a conditioning coach in boxing, working with Juan Manuel Marquez, Jhonny Gonzalez, Jorge Arce and Pascal among others.

Despite Heredia’s insistence that he is now working clean, it is understandable why Sanchez would not want someone with Heredia’s history in his gym.
