Kovalev: Pascal Was Crazy and Wild, Didn’t Have Heart!

Sergey Kovalev was coming off a much more competitive outing than he’d had in recent years, taking some serious return fire from Jean Pascal before scoring an eighth-round technical knockout.
“It was not easy fight. Every fight not easy,” Kovalev said at the post-fight press conference. “Some fight you’re fighting mentally. Some fight you’re fighting physically. Here it was mentally and physically. His style was very crazy and very wild. He punch very wild and he showed that he doesn’t have a heart.”
He was challenged on that last statement later by a reporter who said Pascal showed plenty of heart, having been knocked down and hurt in the third round, only to battle back.
“You mean I am Terminator?” Kovalev responded.
Kovalev said he was patient in putting Pascal away, rather than trying to finish things early.
“I let him go to continue the fight. I didn’t rush to stop the fight. If I got him one time, I can in the future, the next rounds … He will come,” Kovalev said, adding later: “My goal not to finish in early rounds. I’m ready for 12 rounds.”
Still, Kovalev said he wished he could’ve scored a more decisive knockout.
“I wanted to send him on the floor, deep sleep, but referee stopped the fight,” Kovalev said.
He then switched back and forth between complimenting Pascal and deriding his fallen foe.
“He is good fighter, yes. He is good fighter and he is a good trash talker. He didn’t prove his word because he is trash talker,” Kovalev said at one point.
“He has a good punches. But I didn’t lose balance,” he said at another point. “Yes, I felt, but my brain and my head [are] harder than his knuckles.”
