Sergey Kovalev vs. Isaac Chilemba

[Spicoli]

What is Stevenson doing? Fight B Hop at least that would be intriguing.

Think that was some behind Stevensons network flip except Kovalev took his script and dominated Hopkins. Adonis is looking for another Tommy Karpency to fight maybe. Chilemba is being put forth as a formality to make the Ward fight happen, best Kov not look at it as such though. Do work.

You know the lhw division has talent in ward and stevens i hope that at some point those guys fight Klov bcause they would be great fights. I mean the mw divsion has nobody so GGG oppents make sense but the lhw have talent and it is shitty they are not fight Klov hope that changes.

This has really snuck up on us. Cannot remember the last time HBO had a Monday night fight?

It will be an exercise to avoid knowing the result as it's same day tape and knowing the result prior to a fight well that just blows.

I was thinking it was yesterday and then realized it was Monday. I'm always excited to see kovalev fight.

[Freedom]

Elusive spoiler Chilemba was the right opponent to prepare Kovalev for Ward.

Brand is NOT the right opponent to prepare Ward for Kovalev, he should have taken a risk and fought Shabranskyy.

Kovalev donating all his earnings from the fight to the family of Roman Simakov

[Master]

Nice touch. He does have a heart.

[Primo Carnera]

I haven't seen the fight yet, but it doesn't change my thoughts on Kov v Ward.
IF Ward is anywhere near the fighter he was, he wins. But that's the 64 million dollar question!
