Loser: Jean Pascal
After cutting ties with trainer Marc Ramsay, Jean Pascal teamed up with Freddie Roach in hopes of putting together a winning game plan to take down Sergey Kovalev.
Pascal said all of the right things in the build up to the fight and some folks got the impression that he might be able to build off the few successful moments he had in the first fight.
While I didn’t pick Pascal to win, I was one of those aforementioned folks who thought that he would have some good moments in the rematch.
Instead, the 33-year-old Pascal continued his downward spiral (which was brought on from the first Kovalev beating and continued against Yunieski Gonzalez) on Saturday night and no matter who is in his corner moving forward, Pascal has some serious soul searching to do.
