    I'm with Doktor Sleepless, I got Superman by KO sometime in the 2nd half of the fight. I think he'll get punching angles better on an attacking opponent rather than a guy like Bellew who played keep away until he got smashed out. Kovalev will be in front of him and looking for the KO.

    Stevenson by T/KO. That said, any landed shot could end it. It's that kind of fight.

      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.
      Alright, Sig I guess. Probably won't remember this far along so PM to confirm.
      Besides. It'll probably be 2015 before this comes about

        Ward struggled with Boone too tho. Boone is an interesting case. 19-21, yet has given problems to some of the sports top guns.

          So is Judah.

            I'm not favouring either fighter to win, but I'm 110% it doesn't go the distance.
            I think Stevenson would have to break Kovalev down by putting in a ton of body work soften Kovalev enough to stop him. Strong fighters like Kovalev have to be broken down to be stopped. Stevenson can have the power to hurt or K him D, but I think Kovalev has the strength to get back up and shake it off and continue until he's physically broken down.

            Alright... The deal is on then...

            Adonis might sound reluctant, but remember all the Garcia-Matthysse speculation? Unless GBP and Showtime is able to steal Adonis and GYM away from HBO (I doubt it, but there is a possibility), the fight is going to happen in 2014.

              I've sided with Kovalev to take over LHW since he made Campillo look like a cakewalk. He's not as athletic as Adonis, but I think he'd still catch him.

                He fought another undefeated prospect today. Knocked him down twice and came out with a draw

                  if stevenson learns how to use other punches than his straight left, and learns some basic defense i think he could win it. but if the fighters fought eachother tonight, i gotta lean towards kovalev

                    I think darnell boone is awesome, he fought ward, stevenson, lara, kovalev, vera, stevens and jean pascall. he has a monster resume and is the only man to knock down the current p4p #2

                    call me crazy but i think hes a hall of famer

                      Kovalev should go after the WBA title holder.... I have no idea who that is though. Set Kovalev vs. Stevenson up as a MEGA FIGHT!!

                      It would be for the WBC,WBA,WBO, and the Ring Light-Heavy titles, surely that would qualify to become the undisputed champion, right?
