Sergey Kovalev vs. Adonis Stevenson: who wins?

[slimshandy69]

this is really difficult to predict. Kovelev is more gifted and his style is more pleasing. But Stevenson power is crazy as well. And to be fair, I think he boxes pretty well as well.

I agree with the poster saying kovalev 60-40/70-30. I wouldn't lay my house on it due to Adonis left hand.

Depends on what sort of intensity Kovalev can sustain as the attacker. Obviously he'll want to be a little more thoughtful with this particular guy. I normally avoid generalities but in this case it really will be the guy "who can fight his fight." If Stevenson can slow things down that may be all he needs... And vice versa.

Kovalev is undefeated.

I think this one is a hard fight to predict. Stevenson is slick/cute and is a dangerous fighter.

I'd like to see Kovalev really go to work early. I think i give Kovalev the slight advantage right now though.

Kovalev. He's boxing's best kept secret, I think he beats anyone at 175. His chin hasn't been tested much but there's no way Adonis' chin holds up In this fight IMO.

This will never happen though. Kovalev is going to have to force his way to a title shot through the rankings. He's next in line as an IBF mandatory if he beats white. It would be awesome if Adonis' team gave him that shot though. I know HBO said they're interested in a Kovalev title shot later this year, so we'll see.

1) He's no secret for those who have watched the "Soviet school" long enough -- do you know who Lemeshev was?

2) Kovalev holds a belt...

3) Adonis would not fight Kovalev willingly...

Let's keep our fingers crossed and keep hoping this fight will happen in 2014.

I voted for Kovalev by KO.

"If everybody involved still show interest after their next fights, it will get made", says Yvon Michel, who has chosen September 27th for this big pugilistic encounter in 2014.

KOvalev Ko's him with ease no question.

I think Stevenson knows this so that's why he's ducking Kovalev so hard.

I knew this fight would happen. I think Kovalev wins. He needs to be careful though.
