Karpency didn't need to take any more punishment, he had just gotten a break and hadn't yet fully recovered from the last KD. He had no chance of making it through the 3rd.
lolwut? Karpency was on queer street. I actually thought he may have nicked round one, he was looking ok for a bit but didn't have the chin to do much else. He would have been put to sleep in that round if not for the stoppage.
Nah that was it. He had 60 seconds between rounds to get his wits about him. He got dropped right away to start the 3rd. He didn't have anything left. He had to get through the first 4. He almost got through 2. Not enough. Weak chin too.
It was a bad stoppage and I'm being perfectly serious. Karpency had the wherewithal to stay on his knee, taking a full 8.5 seconds to rise on the refs count. He was on his feet and he looked ready to go. Furthermore, Tommy protested when the ref waived it off.
I think you give the guy a chance before you pull the plug so quickly. How many fights have there been in boxing history where a guy looks like he's overmatched, been knocked down several times quickly early on in the fight, only to comeback and be competitive?
I just don't like when refs act impulsively and stop fights too quickly and this is what happened last night
Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right.
Colon can you please double up on something?He didn't need to use anything else lol... i got him in the top 5 best prospects from Puerto Rico.
Anyone have think in a matchup with Felix Verdejo vs Spence Jr @ 147lbs in a future??? idk but i got my boy Verdejo...
Vivian Harris...now that's a name I haven't heard from I a while. He was with Manuel Steward, they had some kind of falling out, and I haven't seen much of him since. Looking at boxingrec, he's been busy, just not on national tv. Long losing streak too.
Kovalev already offered to fight Beterbiev in Russia.
Here's what happened: http://******.craveonline.com/news/396333-no-go-on-sergey-kovalev-artur-beterbiev
LOL.. They should also say sorry for when they chickened out from the bid... Oh wait ! Now they have an even bigger problem with Beterbiev as a probable Mando... Guess who's laughing now ?...
Duva/HBO really screwed up on that one ...
Main Events just offered Beterbiev the Kovalev fight in his home country, what exactly are they supposed to be scared of?
There's no negotiation. PBC offers 4x the money.
Kovalev literally can't fight on PBC. Its in his contract, look at how long it took May/Pac to settle because of their exclusive contracts to Showtime and HBO.
Refer to this post I replied to one of yours:
Kovalev has an exclusive deal with HBO to fight on HBO. Stevenson doesn't have any exclusive deal except thanking Al Haymon.
The only reason Stevenson isn't fighting on HBO is because of whose pockets he wants to fill. Kovalev's contract states he fights exclusively on HBO.
They don't want to do business doesn't mean they can't. Yeah, Kovalev beats him either way but if you're the promoter you get your guy the BEST deal even if your guy KOs the other guy 100%.
Oh right, he doesn't have the interim belt. He has the "Diamond" belt, whatever that means.

Why would Stevenson choose to get knocked out on HBO PPV for 1/4 of the money he could for the same result on PBC. Nuthuggers like you enjoy a sad existence.
You're the one concerned with a fighter's money while being content with mismatches. I didn't even say Stevenson should fight on HBO.
Wanna bet he beats Beterbiev, Stevenson, and Ward?
Avatar bet for a month, anything.Well you placed in order: Ward, Beterbiev, Stevenson... I'll take the bet if it goes that way... Ward is an easy one, since it won't happen... Beterbiev will be mando soon and this will be the real deal...Stevenson will wait for Beterbiev and collect for his retirement with a loss with dignity (same GYM stable)...
Like that screenplay ? If so, I'm all in ...
Are you serious?
:rofl: :rofl:
Sadly yes. I'm with Rogers and they had this fight on PPV tonight for $59.99 in HD. I streamed it though.
Dem Quebec fighters.....

Stevenson team is scared to negotiate.. sure they can buy the promotion but when it comes to the negotiating table the numbers will show Kovalev is the guy people want to see.
:lol1:
Going by the order you placed it, he might not even reach Stevenson... Time now to spank Duva for the fight that should have happened...
Wanna bet he beats Beterbiev, Stevenson, and Ward?

Hey @AdonisSuperman, 50/50 offer to fight #Krusher on HBO PPV is still on the table. Has been all year. Call us anytime. #KovalevStevenson— Main Events (@Main_Events) September 12, 2015
As an aside, is this the first time Stevenson has ever called Kovalev out after a fight? I think every other time he has *****footed around it.
