Originally posted by Pan-Africanist View PostHBO offered less than 3 mil for both fighters to split. Why do you think Stevenson turned it down? HBO would never insult Bob Arum or Richard Schaefer with a weak ass offer like that. They tried to bully GYM and that's why Stevenson went to Haymon. If Duva was a real promoter she would've sided with Stevenson once Haymon got on board. They could've squeezed HBO for another mil at least. But she's so desperate to get off the NBCSports Network she wouldn't make any waves with HBO.
You knock Fonfara however he's better than anybody Kovalev beat. He's long, durable, and technical. IMO he's the 3rd best light heavy behind Stevenson and Kovalev. Pascal is a good fighter but he's slowing down physically. And he's not technical enough to get by on his skills alone. Fonfara is long and throws straight punches. I remember Kovalev trying to fight him after the Stevenson fight, but Haymon ****ed blocked Kovalev by signing Fonfara.
Fonfara is decent, but no idea if very good. Only notable LMW fight is good effort in Adonis loss. Could be a reflection on Adonis. Looked basic getting his ears boxed off by Campillo on FNF prior

Originally posted by HeroBando View PostSo 2 top tenner, but one is a scrub with multiple bad losses including shutout to Cleverly, and other straight from espn2, where he was getting outclassed by a shot Campillo. Pascal and Hopkins were there for him ti fight, but hed rather fight bums for less money. That's why nobody's tuning in. But maybe they will for Karpency cause hes a step up from last 2 fights lol.
It comes to end on Sept. 11. Tommy Karpency is bringing the lineal LHW title back to America.

Did you guys know why Kovalev have fought Boone twice, do you know why? In the first fight, Kovalev won by split decision, he didn't knock down Boone at all. However Boone dropped Kovalev on the canvas in the 7th round, out of 8. Kovalev could barely get up and make it til the end, Boone got robbed that night. Just like Stevenson got robbed against him, when he was standing up and ready inside the count of 3.
To sign with Kathy Duva, the test/condition was him to fight Boone a second time.
