Nice, are they trying to build up Kovalev v Bivol next?

It's been said that unification fight will happen in 2019 if both keep on winning.
But undefeated Alvarez may derail their plans. He's a very good boxer who has been avoided by Adonis Stevenson for years.

Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
Alvarez doesn’t look that impressive to me. I think that Kovalev wrecks him.

Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
It's a step up from Marcus Browne who was first choice and hopefully unification around the corner.

Wrecks is a bit strong for me. Alavrez is decent. I hope Kovalev wrecks him tho, for contributing to Stevenson's mandatory debacle.
Kovalev in about the 8th.

I only hope this leads to a Kovalev/ Bivol unification.

With Bivol constantly on the undercard I assumed that was what they were working on.

I also thought that's what they were building towards, but it seems to be getting put on the marination cart.

That marinating cart is really getting on my tits.

The term "marinating" should be used with a copyright symbol, and due credit given to its originator.... Fishnets.

Was it Oscar? I remember Arum making us wait for Juan Manuel Lopez/ Gamboa. Maybe he said "let it build"

Pretty sure it was. Or at least he was the one who made it (in)famous, with his excuses as to why he didn't want Canelo facing GGG early in Canelo's middleweight days.

Sounds like a word Oscar would utilise.

Kovalev has undergone a decent bounce back to form. Ward who???. Still and hard to believe 175 has top notch matches brewing. For the record brewing should always be used in place of marinating.

+1 for brewing, sounds much better.
Many of these divisions are starting to get their act into gear. Good fights being made left, right and center.

Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
For the record, if it happens, I beleive Bivol beats Kov.

Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
Kovalev is an inspiration to fellows in their mid 30s with thinning hair and a drinking problem.... At last someone we can look up to :S....
I hope and believe bivol will KO him next year though :S

Pavlik sitting somewhere right now thinking ??? why bring me into this. I think Kovs last run will be pretty impressive but if he's looking past Alvarez he's not the sharpest crayon. Nice double header leading to a collision from hbo for a change.

Can someone PM a link please.

Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
Like to see Bivol tested a bit here v Chilemba but he'll need more than Roy in his corner.

Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
Motherfucking XME switch the Bivol fight off while Buffer is doing the intros and I can't get it on Kodi. Motherfucker. Anybody help please?

I make the mistake of paying for hbo so not much help with links. Bivol has him stunned with hook in 2nd but Chilemba steady at rounds end. Bivol so focused. always keeps a guy guessing where he's coming from.

It eventually switched on with the paid stream people. My first time with this kodi stuff tonight and HBO not available. Fox played OK though. HBO was working when this thing first got plumbed in but nothing doing when I actually want to watch it.

Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
Roy telling Chilemba he's in control after 5th :-X. Bivol with great mix on his shots. Is needing to work a little here.
-
Re: Sergey Kovalev vs. Eleider Alvarez on Aug 4 in Atlantic City
Actually solid 8th for Chilemba with straight punches and walking to Bivol. The hell is the crowd booing for?
