I don’t know how Pascal keeps doing it, but he continues to pick up these headline fights….
Can you imagine if Pascal actually ends up getting ANOTHER title shot before the end of his career? He wins this fight [and he should], Beterbiev – Pascal next year is probably a big night in Montreal.
Nice to see JP still fighting and still in great shape.
PED’s is definitely keeping Pascal on the front line and in the mix
Who does Pascal know, that he keeps getting these eliminators and title shots?
Innovative….in that ESPN is getting the international fights and offering to the public …without or outside of planned program scheduling….like that…gives me an opportunity to watch boxing at various times…makes the competition have to rise to the challenger….tipping my shot of bourbon to ESPN on this…
*challenge..
Jean Pascal Needs to sit down somewhere before he gets really hurt.
