i think pascal was done.. good stoppage imo. If you look at kovalev as the ref was asking him if he was alright, pascal was so loopy, falling all over the place.. Then he got hit with those final shots, you could see him get that 'hazy look'.. That's a dangerous look IMO, imminent brain damage if you keep absorbing shots looking like that.
If you watch the slow mo you might see what i'm talking about.. he's getting clobbered and he's just staring off into space. Once that happens, refs usually stop it because of the "defenseless fighter" rule.
pascal put up a great effort.. fight of the year so far.. simply due to the pascal come back after almost being ko'd to death in the early rounds. Kovalev is a machine though. He knows he hits like a tank and he takes his time.
pC!
