Comments Thread For: Promoter: Stevenson-Cloud Best Fight Available at 175

[King_]

I think Ward-Chavez Jr is the fight they want, with Kovalev facing Adonis-Cloud winner.

Yeah HBO wants Kovalev-Adonis/Cloud winner for sure. I meant I think they might push for a Kovalev-Ward fight sometime later next year after that (assuming Kovalev wins out) in a superfight for 175 supremacy.

Bellew is the Mando and has been promised the winner, but just...well, we'll see, but I've a feeling money might do the talking. That said (and not to write Tony off) it could be that the Stevenson - Cloud winner might want an easier (dare I say 'tune up') fight before Kovalev (if that's the way it plays out).

Shame ol' BHop ain't really in the mix (Murat, Bernard?..Really?) and I've feeling Shumenov's gonna disappear back to Kaz'stan to polish his belt for another year or two after he disposes of the challenger (who I never even heard of) in Nov.

Perfect example of a promoter hyping up his fight...


No chance in hell

Kovalev-Adonis, Adonis-Hopkims, Kovalev-Hopkins, Kovalev-Ward (fantasy matchup) >>>>>>>>>>>>x10000000000 Adonis-Cloud


edit: he said best available, which I guess is true. None of those other fights were possible for September 28th

Kovalev-Stevenson is almost 100% guaranteed to be next as far as I'm concerned. HBO is licking their chops At that and I imagine we're not hearing about KOvalevs next potential opponent because they're waiting for Cloud-Adomis to play out.

Bellew is WBC mandatory but I believe a unification has first priority over a mandatory

(assuming Adonis beats Cloud)

Yeah, Bellew is a good fighterand more than deserves his shot but we all know the best light heavy (Stevenson) has to fight the biggest threat, that's ma boy Kovalev.
