Adonis Stevenson: "I LOVE PASCAL!!!"

When a reporter at the press conference to officially announce June 3rd's "BOXE MANIA" card asked Adonis Stevenson why he had yet to face fellow Montreal light heavyweight Jean Pascal, the WBC champion surprised everyone by grabbing the microphone and conducting an impromptu interview with his rival to explain exactly why a Stevenson vs Pascal fight has never happened. It was a tense moment but Pascal stayed calm and collected as Stevenson revealed that past offers had been made to try and make that fight happen. Great video and English translation by Manny Montreal.

In this interview, Adonis "sonned" Pascal on a grand scale. He was his daddy that evening

[@vturner]

we're never gonna see these 2 fight :( , this wouldve been amazing for the city !! Hotels, clubs, restaurants, airbnbs, promotions, damnn :(

[@ericbisson9762]

they fought twice as amateur pascal winning both fights

[@vturner]

@@ericbisson9762 how come they didnt fight as professionals ? Doesnt make sense to me they both wouldve made a lot of money from it especially when Adonis was champion

[@ericbisson9762]

@@vturner they almost fought when stevenson was champion but pascal would have got only 30% of the purse bid he choosed to face kovalev for better money

[@frankprior9376]

This fight would have been called "The Battle of Montreal". If they wanted to make more money, they could have signed for two fights (a rematch). Who would you have picked? It would have been a 50-50 fight, but I would have picked Stevenson.

@@frankprior9376Yeah Pascal is a bit overrated imo. But these 2 fighting in Montreal wouldve been INSANEEE

[@H.K.5]

Lol, Stevenson is a badass. He gives no shits.

Pascal is like i would knock his ass out! and thank god he didn't cause he wouldn't have waken up. Pascal when he connects with that hook he is 10x as powerful as stevenson.

😂😂😂😂 you

Weirdly, this monologue from Stevenson was not as shit as the translation.

Please feel free to supply us with a better translation and we will see if we can add it to the video. Thanks!

The Fight City I'm bilingual I live in Montreal and I can honestly say the translation was on point, Anthony you must be drunk!

Quelle humiliation.... c'est le déshonneur pauvre Pascal

Better Translation:
- Stevenson: We did an offer to Jean Pascal, 30%.
But Pascal had another offer, like Hopkins had: Of whom?
- Pascal: Kovalev
- Stevenson: Exactly, of Kovalev.
Humm, what did you choose?
- Pascal: Like you choose not to fight me, I choose Kovalev
- Stevenson: Come on Pascal you were my main mandatory and we offered you 30% Pascal. Number 1 contenders get 30%. Me, I'm a world champion, I didn't make a lot of money becoming champion, because I wanted to become champion, I didn't care about the purse cut: .
But you decided to choose Kovalev, because he gave you more money, right?
- Pascal: Yes!
- Stevenson: So like Hopkins, he got an offer by Kovalev, and fought Kovalev. Thus he thought he would win the Belts.
By the way, it would have been fun if you'd have those belts, because by coming back to me, your leverage of negotiation would be stronger. I wouldn't be able to propose you 30%. But Pascal lost against Kovalev, he got a rematch, and he lost again.
In boxing it happens, like me, I lost too & I'm a world champion now, it's nothing.
But now that he lost twice, he wanted to fight me right after.
I find it illogic, so I said: put yourself back in the ranking, clim back up to the mandatory position, and we will fight.
- Pascal: Will you still give me 30%? (laughts)...
- Stevenson: But it's number 1 contender, that's the regular cut, 30% as usual for mandatories and 70% for the champ. Me, I didn't even get 30% when I fought for the world title.
Everybody I'll fight will get the same cut, 30%. So, the beef is fix Pascal? Is it fix?
- Pascal: Absolutely
- Stevenson: (kiss), I love Pascal (laughts)...

[@bobbymugabe1070]

Black Berry - But Pascal has the large French Canadian fan base. Stevenson does not. I can see why a 50 - 50, or less offer can be justified based on butts in the seats.

[@nickf6146]

Bobby Mugabe I live 1 hour away from Montreal, where they both live...Generally, most people there hate Stevenson, they think hes a piece of shit... Pascal is respected and liked by everybody. Fight should be more like 55/45 split.

@@nickf6146 1 hour away? Pascal lives in Laval

Jean Pascal c'est le vraie champion. Il n'a peur de personne.

[@thibaultraylat4920]

bien parlé frere il a prit kovalev 2 fois adonis ne l'a pas encore prit donc bn pendant que pascal affrontai kovalev stevenson affrontait karpency je croit..... donc ouai stevenson peut faire le chaud etc oui c un grand boxeur mais ces dernieres oppositions étaient moyenne j'ai pas dit minable j'ai dit moyenne

[@spartasmr4934]

seule chose dont j'ai peur avec pascal contre stevenson c'est que jan pascal a souvent les main basse quand il boxe et un seul direct de stevenson a deja coucheé plusieur adversaire redoutable et kovalev est exellent boxeur a une tres bonne force de frappe mais pas autant que stevenson stevenson a le coup de poing le plus puissant de toute la boxe presentement livre pour livre et pascal a du arreter un comabt contre kovalev donc je me dit peu etre que le temps de pascal est passer meme si il reste un de mes boxeur preferé

[@thibaultraylat4920]

mr le québécois salut je croit que ton patriotisme brouille ton jugement :
1 kovalev frappe plus fort que stevenson selon plusieurs memcs qui ont affronté les deux DONT darnel boorne la gauche de stevensonest tres vive et explosive oui mais comme on l'a vu contre fonfara ou sakio bika c'est possible de la prendre. Surtout que juste apres fonfara c fait coucher en 1 round alors oui tu va me dire ct un lucky punch mais bn ca montre que stevenson est pas le seul a etre capable de foutre fonfara a terre
2 stevenson et kovalev ont deux styles différents on peut pas comparer mais je pense que kovalev peut faire plus mal a pascla que stevenson mais pascal sera plus capable de toicher un kovalev qu'un stevenson
3 pascal est fini j'espere me tromper mais je pense qu'il est fini mais ds son prime je pense qu'il aurai pu battrre stevenson mais pas kovalev styles make fight pascal est tres explosif stevenson est un peu chinny donc il aurai pu faire qq chose par contre je pense que prime stevenson bat prime kovalev mais la j'ai peur qu'il soit un peu vieux
3 pr ton histoire de pound for pound non, wilder est un plus gros puncher pound for pound golovkin aussi, beterviev aussi, etc etc etc ce qui fait la force de stevenson c'est l'éfficacité de sa gauche il arrive a la placer a chaque foios mais il a quand meme besoin de plusieurs gauche pour coucher ces adversaires des gar comme wilder ou beterbiev ils arrivent a placer un coup c fini
a plus cousin québécoi peace
