Sergey Kovalev Shreds Artur Beterbiev Over Trash Talk - Boxing News
Looks like this is going to brew up nicely until a showdown happens ;D
Curious quote "first earn a fight with me". That is exactly what Beterbiyev has said he would do. But "he hasn't earned it" is the normal way to swerve a fight these days. I don't take Sergey as the type to swerve anything but that quote really stands out. The fight certainly isn't ready yet but in a year....
I think Kovalev was saying shut up and earn your shot at the belt, then we start talking.Quote:

If I am correct Beteribev has KO Koavalev on 2 occasions in the amateurs, both areQuote:

that is correct in 1997 or 1998
Anyone got a feeling that Kovalev v Beterbiev happens before Stevenson who is pussying around.
I think Kovalev - Stevenson will happen at the end of the year. Kovalev beating Pascal means he is the official WBC mandatory contender. They will push for this fight to happen IMO.Quote:

Kovalev , Stevenson, the division has a bit of excitement Beteribiev, and Ward maybe,! some
great fights out there, with good champions in different weight divisions, this is great for boxing
and us fans.:)
Beterbiev is a scary dude, but this isn't the amateurs. Kovalev has shown he can fight 12 hard rounds and maintain his power deep into a fight.
That's what I've been reading, too. It's amazing that Stevenson is actually afraid of Kovalev, I mean where he comes from, what he has been through, what he has accomplished, and the fact that he is a belt holder doesn't seem to matter. Stevenson is afraid of Kovalev and is being forced to fight Kovalev!Quote:

I would like to see a Beterbiev/Dawson fight... could be a great step up for Beterbiev and can put him more in the framework than he already is. Beating up Cloud was good too. The LH division has slowly and steadily crept up into the most competitive and exciting division out there. Means a lot of money...
;D
So, at LH we have:
JCC Jr.
Stevenson
Fonfara
Chilemba
Andre Dirrell
Cloud
Beterbiev
Hopkins (yup, he is still there)
Monaghan
Pascal
Bute
Shumenov
Mohammeddi
Brahmer
Krasniqi
Kovalev
Campillo
Alvarez
Cleverly
Bellew
Dawson
Karpency
Ward (on the come up)
Maybe he doesn't like those danged Slavs either!Quote:
