Comments Thread For: Stevenson To Kovalev: Nobody Scared of Your Sorry Ass!

[MDPopescu]

if stevenson was confident in his ability to beat kovalev then fighting kovalev would be the most lucrative option open to him right now. he would beat kovalev and then move onto the likes of hopkins, bute, or whatever. the fact that he feels the need to postpone the kovalev fight to maximise his earnings suggests that he knows that facing kovalev would spell the end of his run at the top, and all his other potential pay days will disappear.

Adonis doesn't fight even B-Hop...
Adonis would rather take Bute after his next fight...
... Frankenstein will get older and older and then Ward would call him.

Black A level boxer can't be beaten by white fighters unless it's rigged or he faces another black A level boxer.

That's simply boxing axiom.

And we're hearing people calling Kova rasist?

I would guess that Bun was that A level black fighter?

Funny how suddenly he is talking all that **** after signing with Al Haymon, but when Max asked him about Kovalev, he started to mumble something about vacations haha

Good point.



Lmao!

Eventually these guys will get it on and it will be epic. I'm slightly leaning the Krusher's way. And i don't think Adonis is too eager to face him. But Adonis has skills and talent and it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that he pulls a surprise.

Again I'm slightly favouring Kovalev, but Stevenson has a very good chance, and I'd expct him to go in as bookies favourite. That's what makes this such a special fight....both guys have near identical records, and there's just no way of predicting how the styles clash would play out.

The way both guys broke out from almost nowhere and just tore through the division last year almost makes it seem like this fight was destined to happen...it just better had.

Stevenson-Kovalev is about as 50/50 of a fight as it gets




The idiots are those who think Kovalev has to blow Stevenson, sign over his life insurance and pay him an extra 25$million to "deserve" the fight." These same type of posters are the ones who are more interested in the "business" side of boxing over the "boxing" aspect (weird) but the worst part about is is that these types of posters are the ones who call guys like Kovlaev overhyped/unproven and a Euro bum until proven otherwise....

so then a guy who actually wants to prove his legitimacy comes along...... And now these folks say he doesn't deserve the shot to prove himself!


Lol wtf. Its very strange. I guess it comes down to the possibility that Kovalev DOES win and then they won't know what to do. Obviously they will NOT call Kovalev legit, and maybe they are fans of Adonis so it pains then to think about having to potentially call him an overhyped bum who got KOd by a journeymen in the future

if "superman" had any balls he would fight kovalev in the middle of red square bare knuckle for zero dollars

Instead it's probably gonna be Kovalev who fights for the price of a sandwich if this get's made. Stevenson was always gonna be the A side and take the bulk of the purse - but now he's talking money and has Haymon whispering in his ear, I'm guessing Kovalev will have to take another financial hit to get him in the ring.

Thing is Kovalev really wants it, and I think he will take the pay cut if he has to (he's had to give up some of his purse to get Agnew in the ring ffs, and until a few fights ago was essentially fighting for nothing).

It is very strange how some "fans" are more interested in pushing this "boxing is a business" angle than wanting to see the best fight the best. The only people that should be interested in the business of boxing are those directly making money from it... It's odd to keep endorsing this point as a casual fan... The power(if any) the fans have is to push for the best fights, give the fighters no other choice.

Then fight him you sissy. Fake ass clown. That right there is duck talk, plain and simple. He is scared.

What kinda like punk ass ggg being called out by a light middle weight then cowering in fear...#fact

Yeah, that's right! Cos GGGs MW run and Laras breakout and string of big KOs at JMW had everyone talking about the inevitable and must see clash between the two.

Besides, Lara knew that GGG would duck, cos he ducks everyone - Quillin, Geale, Sturm, Murray, hell probably Maravilla and Pirog too if you count ducking injured fighters. Last I heard he's even ducking Sergio Mora.

[lov 2 box]

Everybody knows you are avoiding Kovelev

How many top 10 opponents has kovalev faced ?? I only counted 1
