10-8 round with no knockdown according to Lederman, I agree.

Kovalev taking a break this round it seems.

Agree with Hopkins, Kovalev is drawing this out. Corner stoppage incoming.

I missed what caused the bad blood here, Pascal called Kovalev a racist or something?

It's too bad Kovalev doesn't speak English well; he's a great trash talker.

The best way I can describe Kovalevs performance is that he may have permanently decreased Pacal's quality of life. Scary stuff.

Yeah Freddie Roach should have stopped it a round sooner. Pascal was a bunching bag for Kovalev. He's probably broken physically and mentally after taking a beating like that in his home town.

It's getting worse lately. at this point I expect that the Thurman-Porter winner will be attacked by Lamont Peterson with a folding chair

Its the only way he'd hurt either that's for sure.

We'd better get Kovalev v Stevenson this year; it's a straight shootout and Stevenson is being underrated for it imo. The hint of Ward getting pulverised gives me a semi, but the reality is that he'll just decision Kovalev and people will claim to have enjoyed watching his excellent nullifying skills or something.

I think I would actually put my wager down on Kovalev by decision. I feel like if you can show the restraint and fight plan to wide UD Hopkins (even at his advanced age), you probably can put together a similar style fight plan for Ward.

While I would love to believe Ward is still athletically able to compete a high level, we don't really have a ton of evidence of that and I don't know that I believe he is technically a better fighter than Hopkins.

Sign me up for Stevenson all day though, because Kovalev certainly can be hit.

Was coming here to post that. Pretty good get for Khan.

not gonna lie, thought this might just be a non-title at 154. Going for the middleweight belt at 155 is all a bit silly. Not sure how they got Khan ranked.

I guess khan was just doing a smoke and mirrors routine pretending to chase down all those other guys

E: this is a good fight because after watching canelo-cotto I thought I wanted to see Canelo fight an even smaller fast guy

EE: people are mad it's not GGG, but it wasn't ever going to be, they have an arrangement for September don't they?

Can't say I saw a Canelo/Khan fight coming. I don't think this is a good fight for Khan at all. He can't hurt Canelo, his defense is mediocre and his chin is even worse. I'm seeing a pretty quick KO win for Canelo.

Wow that fight doesn't make any sense at all. I'm stunned too. Khan's only advantage in that fight is his hand speed and maybe his footwork.

Last I heard Canelo and GGG were still negotiating, so I don't think anything has been locked in.

Canelo needs a PPV fight for May and I think Khan realized he's not getting anywhere with Haymon so time to go kiss back up to Oscar and Uncle Bob.

Canelo vs Khan is a bit interesting stylistically. Khan is a smaller guy, but he has fast hands and feet. We've seen how Canelo does against those types. Mayweather fought him to a decision, Lara gave him a really tough fight that was arguably a draw and Cotto gave him a challenge but was ultimately ineffective and lost a close but clean decision (imo)

Except Khan is not as skilled as Mayweather, isn't as big as Lara and has a worse chin than Cotto.

I don't think most people even put Khan on the same P4P level as Canelo

It'll look like a public execution imo. Khan isn't slick enough to avoid Alvarez' punches and he'll be down about 20 pounds on fight night.
