Kovalev vs. Stevenson.

[Rantcatrat]

We all agree that it will be a barn burner while it lasts.

This one really has a sit up straight and stfu appeal! Great mutual power a'flyin. I think Kovalev thumps him down like driving a telephone pole into the ground and gets the tko. He's a far better long power boxer and sets little subtle traps for a guy. Stevenson is hell coming forward but Kovalev has power that sits on you like a ton of weights. It lingers and I think Stevenson would unwravel when forced backward.

But, as much as I like Kovalev in fairness..who's hit him When has he proven he can absorb a huge bomb . He had Campillo and Clevery throwing punches from the backseat early and not believing in any sort of power. Playing devils advocate we all know Stevenson got sparked, we also know he was able to fully come back and shake the ghosts. It's a Hell of first case of pure puncher for Kovalev to be chin checked by.

Good point, however Kovalev really doesn't fight like someone who is worried about getting hit, wheras Stevenson does to a tee. Even in his rematch with Boone, Stevenson looked wary and didn't impress anyone.

Yeh, these two strike me as night and day when it comes to keeping a level head and being comfortable in their own skin as the saying goes. Kovalev hasn't face a big puncher, but boxing skill and being relaxed behind that arsenal when he does will bode well for him. Much of that can be contributed to having a mind like John D. Jackson in his corner also.

IMO it's a bit of a toss up, Kovalev looked more complete but Stevenson knocked out a MUCH better fighter and he did it in a single round

[Kirkland Laing]

Provided Stevenson wins his next fight this fight will happen. HBO will be absolutely desperate to make this fight and I think Kovalev has enough boxing ability to stay out of the way of Stevenson's big shots and batter him to a fairly quick stoppage. Maybe five or six rounds.

Stevenson's is pure brawler with a one-punch power, Kovalev has power, boxing skills, the complete package. If Stevenson does take Kovalev out in 2, it's all Kovalev
