Comments Thread For: Duva: Stevenson Obviously 'Scared To Death' Of Kovalev

[MDPopescu]

Kov still has Pascal, Bute, hasnt fought Cloud, and there is still Dawson who just got caught but is still a gamer and IMO is better than Kov.

Dawson signed with Haymon...
As about the others: do you see them crowding?

Hopkins beats them both. Hopkins beats Kovalev better than Stevenson would have. Punching power sure get's you hailed as an ATG on NSB

Kovey beats them both. Adonis by brutal KO and Hopkins by a decision. Kovey is far more than a puncher, he doesn't even punch that hard, it's his accuracy/timing/balance that brings power - all of which are known to be in the skillset of a boxer.

I don't know if Pascal is a guarantee either at this point

They aren't fighting. Gotta place a bet on Stevenson/Hopkins. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hopkins school the new hype.

So what he signed with Haymon. This is about more money at showtime for Stevenson. Dawson has no offers and will probably take fight. No i dont see other crowding but also dont see Duva or Kov showing interest either.

what UK channel is showing Kovalev Agnew?

[TudorMiron]

There is info we are not privy to. Duva has been saying alot in the press over the last couple of days- more than all of last year. She is trying to save face, boxing is strategy inside and outside of the ring. Evidentually yvon /stevenson are smarter than the average bear because they never signed anything exclusive with HBO so they get with haymon he looks over their paperwork and gets them to go over to showtime to see if there is a better deal at play.. showtime offered better and HBO wouldnt match it or go higher so they left (business move). I think her deal making got exposed because showtime now has most of the pieces to have a undisputed unified light heavyweight champ - and the so called most feared is not even in the equation - she is embarrassed, and now its about to hit the fan...

Who's going to buy that noncense? Undisputed what? Duck?

[big_james10]

I don't usually call any professional fighter scared. However, in Steveson's case, I think he signed with Haymon and is avoiding Kovalev because he is more confident in his ability to defeat Hopkins than he is in his ability to defeat Kovalev. After he gets his a.ss embarrassed by a 50-year old man when he fights Hopkins, I think he will suddenly have a strong desire to fight Kovalev, but HBO won't want the fight at that point.

Boxing Is Not Like It Used To Be!

Today it's all about the money, it's all about protecting fighters. Today there are 4-5 "Champions" in each division, which is a joke. All these promoters have such inflated egos, nobody can work with anybody; they're all like a bunch of greasy car salesmen.
