Kovalev vs Stevenson

[Jloro]

I'll repeat the question I put here yesterday: who is the fighter calling for a Kovalev fight next?
I didn't get any answer yet.

Chad Dawson, Bhop

[Cutthroat]

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.

Chad Dawson, Bhop

Sure, certainly... I'll be here when they would fight Kovalev...

[BattleAxePurist]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, TBR is Sillakh. They call him The Black Russian.

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.
