    Kovalev is more versatile and can apply more pressure and make opportunities and make things happen. Stevenson is more of a stalker looking for his chance to land big. Kovalev has better balance and has a better chance of dictating the terms on how the fight is fought but if Stevenson lands big and early that could all go out the window. Neither has faced as dangerous a puncher as each other I see the odds being 55/60 Kovalev tp 45/40 Stevenson.

          I think Kovalev is slightly better overall but stylistically this could be tricky fight for him. Stevenson looks better boxing off the back foot than he does coming coming forward, and Kovalev will have no problem coming to him.

          Stevenson has a great chance in this fight Imo and it will be interesting to see the betting odds when they fight

            Putting pressure on a powerful southpaw who boxes off the back foot isn't easy. They'll lead you onto that straight left all night long if you aren't careful

              True and this is the key to the fight. Stevenson however has never faced the kind of pressure and power Kovalev will put on him.

                I agree. Which is why its the best fight in boxing at the moment for me.

                Skill, power, styles and a lineal title on the line. Doesn't get much better than that!

                  I don't know where this myth that Adonis is some crafty boxer came about. Kovalev is a MUCH better boxer then Adonis. Adonis is one dimensional. IMO
