[Uncle Rodge]

The government should step in and save this fella.

Kovalev ducked Enzo in his prime, we can all agree on this.

[knockoutkid]

a cleverly fight would be good surely, and there was genuine beef there last i heard. lol.

'I wouldnt hide on the ropes' like against mckenzie? he was waiting for the other guy to punch himself out but the ref never gave him a chance.

[RobTurp]

omg please do not let Enzo in the ring with them two, im sorry but Haye really did smash his chin to bits, he as never been the same since.

every fighter with punching power can put Stevenson to sleep

• Kovalev clan had no contract with HBO at the time of purse bid.

• Sergey Kovalev signed his new deal with HBO, "AFTER" the WBC purse bid.

• Kathy Duva's acting, when she made her request of unification to the WBC, was a strategy to increase the notoriety & value of Kovalev, to make HBO re-sign him under a better & secured long-term contract.

• At the same time, Kovalev's team thought they would win their bluff, being convinced that Stevenson would have back off by leaving his belt vacant. Kathy thought that if Quillin did it, Stevenson could've do it also.

ERROR
Stevenson wanted that fight all along...

[TheThirdEye]

it's coming!

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.

Sergey Kovalev STARTED A CAREER of a professional boxer in 2009 in the USA, and his first 9 fights he finished with knock-outs in the first or second rounds. His first really serious fight was in October 2010 with an American Darnell Boone, when he had to fight all 8 rounds and won with great difficulty; his victory was decided by a split decision of judges. “Boone appeared to be not an easy opponent to fight at all. I must admit, I wrongly dismissed my opponent. Now I gained a great experience, and will change my approach to the next fights”, said Kovalev.

This was a great learning experience for Kovalev, who was sent to canvas for the first time in his career in round seven but stood up to win victory.

Stevenson will finish him

You trying to establish yourself as the ******est troll on NSB? You've got stiff comp here, but doing amazingly well so far.

To his credit Enzo has tightened his defense and adjusted his style over recent years.
The chances are both guys splatter him but they've both showed vulnerabilities themselves and Enzo can **** himself.
You K.O him and its no big deal but there is always a chance he catches you who really needs him?

Enzo is good against southpaws, he was Calzaghes chief sparring partner for a number of years. I would not totally rule him out against Stevenson in particular. I think if he avoids that left hand early, that is a very interesting fight. He is actually quite similar styled to Fonfara, maybe not as tough but better technically, faster, hits twice as hard and is a much better bodypuncher.
He did well vs Braehmer considering he couldn't see out of one eye.
In all fairness he really, honestly hand on heart is no worse than a lot of guys both have been fighting.

Nice interview he has always been a stand up guy. Did laugh when he said he **** himself when he fought Braithwaite all those years ago.

Nice guy, yes. But dude, he's been KOed brutally 7x, even that amateur KO to the plumber was nasty. His loss footage is some of the most sickening, not for the faint of heart material. And Kov and Stevenson are some of the hardest punchers in boxing, much better than Braehmer who KOed Enzo of course.

[Weebler I]

I wouldn't be surprised if he landed the Kovalev fight.

It's clear Main Events are struggling for opponents and he is a name who has basically put his hand up with this interview.
