Stevenson didn't look like he was in shape for this fight. He should reconsider training at home and move his camp back to the road.

did adonis look that good?

not really; that straight left is legit though. Kovalev doesn't take a punch as good as folks want to believe, and if Stevenson lands, he wrecks Krusher.

If Kovalev comes ready to box (good jab, circling away from the left hand, etc), he'll give Stevenson serious problems; if he just tries to **** it out, he gets stopped. should be a good fight.

Not good for Stevenson to have had to go the distance with Bika. Bika is not a natural LH, can't punch at LH, and Stevenson could not put him away. Stevenson's confidence has to be shaken a bit after this.

Bika legs looked old.. At least he won the last two rounds by a long shot

[Ravens Fan]

After watching that fight I am convinced that Adonis is at best a very average fighter. Therefore he is in no way shape or form a legit challenge to Kovalev. And anyone that says he is is in my opinion dreaming. And since he is such a pronounced one handed fighter even his punchers chance odds go way down.

Bika is a 15-year vet, was just a champion at 168, had never been stopped in a fight, and you could count the number of times that he was even dropped in a fight on one hand.

To try and act as if Stevenson was expected to just walk through Bika shows how little you actually know about boxing.

How many Times Bika was Ko?

We have the same ******ity people, say about Paquiao.
He was not able to Ko anybody in his last fights.
Ok, Question: How many times Brandon Rios Was KO in his career? ZERO
How many Times Bradley Was Koed in His Career? Zero
How Many Times Clottey was Koesd In His Career? Zero
And here is The same. ZERO
At Elite Level There will be no Ko's all the time.
Stevenson needs to be more constant in his fights. He just does enough To win.
He will be forced to be more fast and aggressive agaisnt KOVA but he will need more Workrate.
