Why didn't Kov call out Adonis?

He called him a piece of shit on live TV... hopefully we can get the unification fight soon.

I think because the talk was originally Stevenson-Hopkins before Hopkins got tired of waiting and turned to Kovalev. Kovalev probably expects Hopkins to try and entice Stevenson into a fight now and with Stevenson always out of the office when Kovalev calls and Hopkins viewed as possibly a lower risk higher reward, Kovalev may think that's the route Stevenson will take

I'd love to see the fight but Stevenson already did the disappearing in a cloud of smoke trick so I think it's up to him to chase down Krusher now

Well the first time they were supposed to meet. Stevenson bailed and went to showtime didn't he? That's already brings up the network issue. Not to mention I believe Haymon's name was mentioned by kathy duva as partly the reason Stevenson bailed. So this may never come off. If stevenson loses, its back to the pimp business. He and haymon stand more to gain from just grazing on bottom feeders and fringe contenders slowly, coming off a hand injury....

Hopkins just showed that if the best really want the fights they do what needs to be done to get them made

Stevenson will probably avoid this fight, Kovalev would beat the shit out of him.
