From what I understand, assuming Stevenson and Kovalev get by Fonfara and Agnew, they are fighting in Montreal in the fall. Fonfara and Agnew aren't bad opponents for them even if we'd prefer to see them fight each other.

Totally. If I had my way it would be in my living room tomorrow, its a must happen! But I get and am use to seeing a network making fans twist. THEY know they need it and Agnew and Fonfara are decent showcase opponents where both should improve and come to a head. Wouldn't shock me to see Kovalev camped out in Stevensons hotel room by the end of the night. Boxing thrives on underdogs..should one be upended on the way to a "superfight" then so be it, it wasn't that super after all.
