Thread: Kovalev vs. Stevenson.

I think this would be a very fan-friendly fight.

It would be short and explosive. Stevenson is pretty much a one handed power puncher while kovalez has a combination of skills and power.

Kovalez knocks him out mid rounds.

I think it would be a FOTY candidate.

Stevenson is one hand power yea, but is say he holds much more power.

Kovalev has knock down power, Stevenson has knock OUT power.

If we are talking about one punch KO power,yep, Stevenson takes the cake but these guys have different types of power.

If Stevenson has snapping power like Tyson, then Kovalev has thudding power like Vitali. This guy has some very heavy hands and I think it's safe to say that if his first shot lands flush, it's pretty much the beginning of the end for the other guy. He has the kind of punching power that can cause long term damage. With that said, Id rather get hit by Stevenson than Kovalev who can cause internal damage.

Both guys are knockout artists imo but they just go about it in a different way.. Kovalez have more than knockdown power that's for sure.

I like it. Someone's going to sleep.

Not sure if Stevenson fancies this fight though. I imagine he'll be more interested in a Bhop or Ward showdown.

Why take less money to fight a brutal puncher like Kovalev.

Yea and on top of that, the winner of Stevenson-Cloud has an immediate defense against Bellew so i doubt Kovalev fight happens anytime soon. It can marinate for a few months.

Agreed. Kovalev appears to be a more polished boxer than Stevenson. That might be the difference. If Stevenson can't land flush, Kovalev will out-box him. Also, isn't Stevenson's chin a little bit suspect because of his knockout loss to Boone?

^^ Definitely. We need to see Stevenson in a proper fight, as impressive as icing Dawson like that was he still strikes me as a kill or be killed type of fighter. I'm really hoping to be at his fight with Cloud live, no idea who goes in that one.

Kovalev is a lot less frantic and has a poised attack, Stevenson probably gets himself blasted out early there imo.

Spot on analogy

HBO wants to make this fight soon..

Winner of Stevenson-Cloud must defend against Bellew immediately .. I hope step aside money is offered to Bellew and he takes it..

Kovalev-Stevenson is a must

Kovalev clearly has knock out power.

It's a shame onetime isn't around so he can berate me for being a racist cz I think Kov destroys Stevenson in 4
