Chilemba beat Bellew in the first fight but was robbed.

I thought he deserved a win over Alvarez too.

I've heard that yes, but the fact they were tight fights suggests there is a big gulf between him and Kovalev. Still, not like there are any other hot tickets at 175 willing to fight Kovalev next, so this is probably as good as it was going to get.

Thought the Alvarez fight could have gone either way and turned into a dull affair. Figure this is part two of hbo set up for Kovalev before he..hopefully..fights Ward?

Should be easy work for kovalev. Ward is the only one who has any chance of beating him at LHW. Stevenson needs to just cash out and fight him. He could also fight fonfara maybe.

I would think that's it, they want the fight to be in russia too so he has to find someone willing to go over there too.. It could be a lot worse I think, it's a better match up than golovkin v wade(which was a mandatory to be fair)
