They're both largely untested and we don't have any opponents where we can really get a true gauge on how they'd match up stylistically.
Almost guaranteed one gets knocked out. That said one might feel the others power and go into survival mode - Imagine how anti climatic that would be.
I have no preference to who wins I am a fan of both but I'd give the edge to Stevenson. I think his style is a bit wrong for Kovalev & he is too upright, as good as Kovalev is he has no upper body movement.
The more I think about it, the more I feel Kovalev walks into one.
Yeah, one of these guys would get stopped I think. Either Kovalev can't take it going forward, or Stevenson can't stop Kovalev from coming forward. Either way someone's getting hurt.
Stevenson knows he's packing glass.
Dawson is just stupid . Stevenson threw that same left hand several times against him before he landed.
Adonis doesn't look confident at all when pressured back. Kovalev should have the fight with ease, barring running into a shot - his defense is underrated with JDJ so I don't really see it happening.
Yeah, Dawson isn't very bright, to go along with his leaky defense and lack of chin.
And he only fights at his own pace, looks shaky when pushed back. The fight is Kovalev's to lose.

Stevenson telegraphs his punches. He is gonna get beat down by anyone with a good boxing iq and skills to execute to boot

Do you guys think Kovalev fighting Braehmer would give us some idea on how he does against Stevenson? Braehmer is a southpaw with decent power.
Braehmer is a joke champion over in Germany get protected feasting on bums, these two beasts would get Juergen out in 4 rounds without breaking a sweat
