    Kovalev is a mean beast....said the same thing about Matthysse too but Kovalev is just destroying people with ease.

      Fuck this ridiculous hype train. People are voting as if this is this is Golovkin-Macklin. Stevenson is no Macklin. I'm going for Stevenson.

        Why not?

        Garcia-Matthysse went to a decision. It happens when the physically stronger can't land enough clean shots. Stevenson's style, stance, skills will force Kovalev to take a more cautious approach or suffer the consequences.

        No offense, but I have no interest in your account hougigo... I'll bet the avatar, sig, and/or the points though.

          Kovalev's been knocking out championship level fighter one after another, it's not like Matthysse, Matthysse couldn't finish Judah and Alexander when he hurt them.

            Campillo and Sillakh were chinny fighters though. And I don't think Cleverly is better than Peterson.

              Exactly. Matthysse showed weakness in previous fights but the hype train was too stubborn to admit it and were content with screaming robbery instead of acknowledging sub par performances.

                Stevenson is a huge puncher too though, it's more like Matthysse v Matthysse than Garcia v Matthysse.

                I'm not favouring either fighter to win, but I'm 110% it doesn't go the distance.

                  Great fight, you gotta favor Kovalev but no way should Stevenson be ruled out.

                    Judah and Alexander are betters fighters than the guy Kovalev struggled with, Boone.

                      Kovalev had a subpar performance as well, he beat hat guy Boone by 1 point in a SD.

                      Judah and Devon were 2 top ranked fighters and lucas clearly beat them, being an unknown fighter at the time
