While Robbie&#8217;s head movement made Colby miss, at times, he never followed up and seemed unbelievably gunshy, and seemed to be there for a check like he was in Strikeforce. Now, nobody can deny Covington his shot at Usman. As for Lawler, if this is what he has to offer at this point, I wish him the best, but I have no interest in watching THAT Robbie Lawler fight anymore.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revenu d&#8217;entre les morts!:<\/strong> Or, in English, Back From the Dead! Which is a correct way to describe the career of Quebecois boxer <strong>Jean Pascal<\/strong>. Pascal pulled off the biggest upset of the weekend, by far. As a 11-1 underdog, he looked as good as he has in a decade back when he was a world champ. And after handing Marcus Browne his first career loss, he&#8217;s now the interim WBA Light Heavyweight champion. The actual WBA champion is Dmitry Bivol, so that might be on the table sometime soon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gate Status: Open:<\/strong> Chris Arreola has never lost to a boxer who wasn&#8217;t or didn&#8217;t become a world champion. Well, that&#8217;s as clear of a gatekeeper role that there can be, and that&#8217;s what Arreola is at this point in his career. <strong>Adam Kownacki<\/strong> and Arreola put up a gargantuan amount of punches against each other, and it was ugly and brutal and awesome, and Kownacki emerged victorious, and a world title fight has to be on deck.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; A quick snapshot at the weekend that was.
