Comments Thread For: Kovalev Still Confident Adonis Stevenson Will Fight Him

[MDPopescu]

Adonis should not be afraid of Kovalev... Eventually, Kovalev admitted that he had problems in dealing with Boone...

But Adonis needs some sort of "encouragement", doesn't he?

adonis "superman" stevenson was knocked cold by a journeyman darnelle boone kovalevis undefeated and has KO'ed boone

Triangle theories dont work in boxing and besides Adonis knocked him out in the rematch too.

Great fight! It isn't too often we have two stars leading the same division and that pack this kinda power and match up this well! Make the ****in fight!

Hard to call and i like both guys but to me Kovalev seems the stronger more durable guy and for that reason he is my pick

I've read reports Stevenson was living rough at the time and took that fight on a few days notice.

Also Kovalev himself was dropped heavily by Darnell Boone (so was Andre Ward)

Nah...it was Boone that took the fight at short notice (two weeks) and was training himself. Stevensons team rang him I doubt they woulda done that if their rising unbeaten prospect was living rough.

As far as I know Stevenson was only sleeping rough for a period in his teens, long before his boxing career.
