This is the one everyone wants to see, Sergey Kovalev vs Adonis Stevenson. Two monsterous punchers. I'm still trying to decide who wins this. Who do you have?
Kovalev knocks him out I think. Fight needs to happen though. Anything can happen when you have power luge Stevenson and Kovalev. I think Kovalev will be able to take Stevenson's punches better than Stevenson will be able to take his.
Btw, anyone have video of Stevenson getting knocked out?
Kovalev batters him. Kovalev is just better all around and he's just a mean, nasty guy who beats your ass and enjoys it. The pimp won't make the count.
TBR-Sillakh?
Sillakh is a very good boxer however that chin is pure glass, even Bute was able to take Grachev's punches. I'm not sold on Kovalev either, it's obvious he's got great power but his best wins were tailor made for him.
-Campillo, a notoriously slow starter with a glass chin, perfect for a hard hitting pressure fighter like Kovalev that starts off guns blazing.
-Cleverly chose to stand there and take a beating like an idiot, he's a pretty average fighter as well.
Yes, TBR is Sillakh. They call him The Black Russian.
I think Stevenson has more facets to his game and would outbox Kovalev. It'd be a close fight though but Stevenson is pretty slick and has the pop to hurt Kovalev.
Sleeping on TBR. TBR may very well spoil Kovalevs run. The dudes talent and skill level are A class. If his chin holds up, it's an easy win for him. Kovalev isn't outboxing him, no one in the division is.

I think both guys can dish out punishment but can't take it, Kovalev sort of freezes up when you hit him while Stevenson has been KTFO.
Both should win pretty easily if they're truly elite fighters.

Tommorow night will make it clearer on who would have the edge one things for sure it would be a hell of a fight possibly FOTY. we haven't seen kovalevs chin get tested too much yet while stevenson has been KO'd already earlier
Lol What?
Kovalev has an opponent who could potentially be champ one day, even now. There may very well be an upset tomorrow.
Stevenson has an easy task. Tomorrow isn't an indicator of anything.
Agreed. I'm picking Kovalev right now because he's unbeaten and Stevenson has a loss on his record. Also Kovalev has been fairly dominant against everyone he's face in recent years. Stevenson had a close fight with Don George. Still, this one could go either way, and I agree that tomorrow will be a good indicator where they both stand as of right now.
That fight was not close at all, George landed some good punches here and there but took a beating.

I just have a feeling Stevensen is a tad chinny and he would get caught. Stevensen has a harder style that could trouble Kovalev though so you never know.
Bhop and Ward beat both doe
Stevenson is shying away from the fight at the moment but that doesnt mean he's scared. He might want to at least fight the winner of Pascal/Bute in another big Canadian fight before stepping in with Kovalev.
First Kovalev has to win against Sillakh. That may be no easy task, Sillakh are in my opinion better then Stevenson and the most talented fighter in light heavy div.
Kovalev vs Sillakh should get more attention because those two are the best fighters in light hw div. exiting tome in this div, soon top ranks new signing- gold medal winner egor mekontsev and artur beterbiev is in the mix also
