      Not sure he does a job on him, but I think Adonis stops him late after maybe going down himself.

        And he only fights at his own pace, looks shaky when pushed back. The fight is Kovalev's to lose.

            Stevenson knows he's packing glass.

            Dawson is just ****** . Stevenson threw that same left hand several times against him before he landed.

              You're not alone sir. I like Stevenson to outbox him. Hannibal, cannibal ox him.

                Stevenson would the the hardest puncher Kovalev has faced so far, and vice versa.

                    Adonis doesn't look confident at all when pressured back. Kovalev should have the fight with ease, barring running into a shot - his defense is underrated with JDJ so I don't really see it happening.

                    Yeah, Dawson isn't very bright, to go along with his leaky defense and lack of chin.

                      Almost guaranteed one gets knocked out. That said one might feel the others power and go into survival mode - Imagine how anti climatic that would be.

                      I have no preference to who wins I am a fan of both but I'd give the edge to Stevenson. I think his style is a bit wrong for Kovalev & he is too upright, as good as Kovalev is he has no upper body movement.

                      The more I think about it, the more I feel Kovalev walks into one.
                      Yeah, one of these guys would get stopped I think. Either Kovalev can't take it going forward, or Stevenson can't stop Kovalev from coming forward. Either way someone's getting hurt.
