    Im hoping 175 is lighting up.
    I really hope fonfara and agnew push stevenson and kovalev.

    Remember the 90s heavyweight era.

    He is better than most think the problem is his style is made to order, hes going to be in front of Kovalev and hasn't the power to keep him off of him.

    Skillwise he looks quite good

      Havent really seen enough of Agnew to be sure - couple of tube vids against club level guys, but he has a good amateur background and is spoken of as being pretty skilled - Kovalev is a huge step up for him though, and likely one too far. It would be nice to see Kovalev tested a little and taken a few rounds, but honestly I think it unlikely.

      Similarly with Fonfara vs Stevenson - the upset is just possible cos Fonfara can **** a little but he just isn't that great a boxer and whilst I'd expect him to have a couple of moments I think he's just gonna get broken down by the mid rounds and stopped. That said, with the recent maneuvering by Stevenson and SHO I'd laugh my ass off if Fonfara pulls the upset and SHO ends up paying over the odds to set up the BHop unifier only to have Adonis KTFO.

        Of course we want Agnew to perform well, a competitive fight is a lot more fun!

        Who knows, he might have a good game plan going in and take Kovalev into a deeper fight than expected. He's never going to be an Andre Dirrell, but I'd like to see him to open up the fight with some good movement, defense, and confidence.

          I'd rather see Pascal vs Kovalev.
