Kovalev vs. Pascal 2: Bad timing not a Bad matchup

January 31, 2016January 28, 2016 by Chris Carlson

Jean Pascal, Sergey Kovalev - Bitter sweet feelings surround this rematch bout from last March have spoiled much of the anticipation for Saturday night's HBO main event fight between Sergey Kovalev and Jean Pascal. It's not as if it's a bad matchup per se, just bad timing considering the outcome of their first meeting and Pascal's last performance, which was underwhelming to say the least. Regardless, thankfully the Bell Centre in Montreal will be ready to make noise for this redux that should be fought in an entertaining style.

DeGale: Golovkin needs to move up in weight

January 29, 2016January 28, 2016 by Abdi Haid

Gennady Golovkin, James DeGale - By Abdi Haid: IBF super middleweight champion James "Chunky" DeGale (22-1, 14 KOs) says he's interested in facing IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady "Triple G" Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs), but for that fight to happen, Golovkin will need to move up in weight. DeGale believes that it'll be an even fight when Golovkin does move up in weight because his punching power won't be as pronounced in the 168lb division as it is at 160 right now against the opposition he's been facing. DeGale says Golovkin is short and only 5'9", and he believes he's going to have some serious tests when he goes up a weight division.
