Tony had him in a bit of trouble there.
Stevenson is looking somewhat a one trick pony here, Kovalev is salivating at that long lingering left hand miss
Hmm he's good defensively and is a natrual counter punched and hits like a truck. I don't think fighting Bellew will make him look good but I wouldn't count him out because of the style of his opponent.
I kind of hope Tony knocks him out.
Stevenson with every round and taunting Bellew. How I would like to Stevenson knocked out.
So if Stevenson is Superman, than that makes Kovalev Doomsday
Ah, something we agree onQuote:

The ref didn't even have to count up to nine.
Oh well, feed him to Kovalev then.
Stevenson better find a right hand in the future, nice lefts end it but he is very hittable
So much for thatQuote:

He didn't even get full power behind that one punch that dropped him
Adonis better get out of the habit of waiting or watching for a reaction every time he throws that left.
He does have an excellent caseQuote:

Early thoughts on Stevenson-Kovalev?
It's a shame, but it was an expected result. It's a bit sad that HBO appears to have covered only a couple of short fights, when there was a very good undercard too. I don't understand why they just want to keep it short unlike Showtime who give you a good 4 fights each time.Quote:

Did Stevenson just say he'd rather fight anybody but Kovalev?
He's doing a Froch. Fans don't give a hoot about Froch after he was schooled, so shup it dwarf and fight Kovalev and let Froch fight Groves. That is what the FANS want. These fighters just want to get away with NOT giving the FANS what they want.
Did he really call Froch out ??? Holyhell son!

Lol no shit eh. He did everything not to answer and then involved the audience for Hop and Froch? Oh if the money is right bla bla bla. Adonis might be a little yella.
Shocking enough, he just did. Apparently the fans are clamouring for Stevenson/Hopkins. First I have heard of it. I guess that is why Hopkins was nothing to do with the card and Kovalev was there just for show.Quote:

I find it a bit sad that Stevenson would be looking for a fight with Froch on the back of Froch being humiliated and to then talk about 'fans demanding' such a bout. It is bare faced cheek, and the audience should have given him a Froch style booing. Bullshit must be booed. You can take the pimp out of the man, but once a pimp always part pimp, I suppose.
I'm out, I have had a lovely time watching the boxing and posting gibberish. That is what the forum is all about, politics and God is nonsense, when there is boxing. And some good fights to finish the year with. Definitely a lot more boxing and gibberish.
The guy is 36, fighter of the year 2013, fought 4 times this year... but probably hasn't made any money.
Why shouldn't he fight Froch and make a boat load of money?
Why shouldn't he send Bernard into retirement and have an easy fight a the same time?
Kovalev ain't going anywhere.
Boxing is about money. Why should he potentially destroy himself right away when he could make a mint and bank it first.
Why would HBO want to destroy either of these two fighters so quickly? Give a little time to build excitement so that it become a bigger fight. Nobody outside boxing knows who these two are. Put them on a few cards together, have them destroy all the competition in devastating fashion and have them fight each other December 2014.
@Gandalf The reason he says the people of Quebec want him to fight Froch is because Froch beat both Jean Pascal and Lucien Bute. The two biggest boxers Quebec had in recent years. Dummy.Quote:

Could not agree with you more. Seems like a lot of fans forget boxing is a business. All these fighters have, relatively short careers, so I don't see anything wrong with self promotion and smart moves that bring in more money.Quote:

I'm of the belief that Bernard could beat Kovalev. It'd be nail biting to watch with that huge KO power of Kovalev, but Bernard knows all the tricks to avoid being hit clean.
i should know better but kov puts bernard to sleep, dudes a bad bad man. just watched that video and holy shit he wasnt even close to landing clean and he laid the dude out, dudes got dynamite in his handsQuote:
