Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson Places Target on The Back of Kovalev

[PunchyPotorff]

This is the fight I am most looking forward to this year, besides the Maidana/Bonehead rematch that is.

Kovalev seems to be the more accurate puncher, has a better chin, and seems to have a bit of an edge in power. Neither fighter will have a walk in the park, but I'm picking Kov for a late KO.

Somebody's getting knocked the **** out.

Really hope this happens. I think Kovalev has more power and better chin but Stevenson is the better boxer. He could catch him and KO him. This fight is that even casual boxing fans would enjoy. Kovalev has been a monster. I thought Stevenson should have got fighter of the year in 2013

Well he got boxingscene's fighter of the year, sports illustrated's too, someone said he is Ring Magazine's fighter of the year but I haven't seen a source for it beyond wiki.

kovalev knocks him out

Definitely left hand happy lately. He used to use his right a lot more and had a wicked right hook he would whip to the body.

I've felt he has shown a lot of dimensions lately especially in his fights with Cloud & Bellew. I guess he didn't have much choice though seeing Bellew just wouldn't engage. Expected that from Bellew actually, he always talks a good one.

Obviously, Adonis' main weapon is his straight left.
... Many noticed that Steward taught Adonis some solid defence...
... But I don't know what Adonis would do against the cut-the-ring two-handed "mobile power" Kovalev. Adonis needs some space in order to load his straight left.

Is that a fact? Or just your opinion.

Is what a fact? Or is it a question?

I smell a Garcia/Matthyse repeat. I got Stevenson by UD.

Dangerous fight for both. People thinks Kovalev has more power but I think they equally matched in power. Stevenson would have KO all the guys that Kovalev has kod with the same ease. Cant wait for this fight

Darnell Boone who fought both says Kovalev hits harder by far.
