Comments Thread For: Stevenson-Kovalev Negotiations Are Heating Up For HBO

Really hope nothing gets in the way

10/10 fight would buy on PPV (with decent undercard)

I'm happy the fight is being made, but upset we have to see them fight two bums first in order to get the fight we all want.

I understand it's called build up but it's not as if these fighters fight every week or even every month. With such long layoffs and bum fights in between the good fights is there any wonder why our sport gets passed by so many?

This will be a great fight

Kudos to everyone involved for making this fight. I'm leaning with Stevenson at the moment. I reserve my right to change my mind in the future

[sergey.smith]

Jrrod is exactly right! No reason they can't fight next instead of HBO buying them 2 bums. Look forward to the fight if it really does happen and I hope Stevenson knocks out Kovalev like he was knocked out in 2008 in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEHA...e_gdata_player

In after Sergey.smith posting Kovalev getting KOd in the amateurs for the 17th time in various Kovalev threads

lol one will lose to a bum and spoil everything

[MDPopescu]

No. There will be no fight. Stebenson will find a way to duck this one. He's old, he gets injured, whatever... No doubt...

[sergey.smith]

King - I will keep reminding people when you all overrate him what this racist is really made of. Whenever he faces any serious opposition (like he did in this video where he got knocked out), you will see his true capability. Darnell Boone knocked him down and he barely survived that first fight and GGG knocked him OUT twice in sparring by the body shot.

Stevenson is finally manning up? He was calling out old ass BHop and Froch instead of Kovalev who directly called him out after his fight.
