    Stevenson was like damn. Almost made through the interview without mentioning that name
    Dude looked like he bit his lip, had those WTF eyes and awkward ehhh

    All things fair, was a great scrap. But also a reality check for team Adonis

    Hubris is a word I find myself using a lot these days in relationship to boxing.

    I picked Kovalev to beat Stevenson as early as anybody else. I'm a massive Kovalev fan. But I don't think Stevenson is scared to fight him even if Stevenson thinks he'll probably lose. What Stevenson is scared of is not maximising the amount of money he can make before his 36 year old bubble bursts. He's wanting to make the most money he can before he retires so that he doesn't have to go back to his former profession or something similar. You can't blame the guy for that.

    If you paid him enough money to fight Kovalev he'd get in the ring with him tomorrow morning. If he can make more money going to Haymon then you can't blame him for doing that. This is prizefighting. It's all about the benjamins.

    Unless Bernard Hopkins has faded since his last fight, I'm quite certain he'll beat Stevenson by decision when they fight.

    I dunno about certain but his chances have def improved. I've picked him to beat Stevenson before and still do, now with a little more confidence.

    Excellent fight tonight. Fonfara is one tough TOUGH SOB.

    From the way Stevenson talks, the decision is out of his hands anyway. Haymon picks the opponents, and that's based on the money, PLUS keeping that/those belts under their control. Al Haymon = Don King with 10 times the smarts minus the dark side.
    Forgot to say, you are right and I agree with you totally. Lol

    Stevenson showed some movement last night. He's going to need that vs Hopkins. It's hard to teach a old dog new tricks. He was in with a guy who I thought was going to show up, take a few good shots and lay down. Fonfara came to fight. Gave Stevenson hell from start to finish. I think it's safe to say Hopkins has way more skills and knowledge than Fonfara. Stevenson has to make as much money as he can before his championship days are over. Hopkins will give him a good payday which may be his last.

    I'm liking the Charlotte twins the more I see of them. I found them a bit boring from the get go but they put there nose to the grindstone and get the job done. Good to see fresh talent
