Garbage mismatch

Some people being ridiculously harsh on Agnew in here today.
He was definitely trying in the first round (and caused Kovalev a few problems) but after he felt the unholy power of Kovalev he had to go defensive. The simple fact is that Agnew was not good enough to be in the ring with Kovalev last night and he took a hell of a lot of punishment in defeat.
How anyone could watch him take a 7 round pounding from a better fighter and one of the hardest punchers in the sport and have their first thought be "I need to go have a go at this guy on NSB" is crazy to me. I hope he can regroup and find his level in the boxing world.
On the fight Kovalev did what he had to do against an opponent who shelled up. However I think this fight more than any other showed the areas where Stevenson could have success (if that fight ever happens) with his big left hand.Comment

Kovalev was impressive. Showed good patience. He hurt agnew late in the 2nd and didnt go all out in the 3rd. He took his time and Looked the holes in agnews defence. He punches so hard. He doesnt even load up or tag anyone flush and they fall over. I liked how he didnt panic after the cuts.Comment

I feel sorry for kovalev it looks like he will be avoided. Theres no super fights for him. Hes a world champion so people will fight him. But it would only be contenders like agnew and silaykh. B hop doesnt need him hes 50 yrs old, stevenson ran over to showtime. Only jean pascal is a viable option at 175. He cant go up to cruiser because he will give away all his advantages. I dont think he would boil down to 168 either to fight chavez or ward.Comment

There is nothing wrong with a Pascal fight..It's actually the fight I wanted for Kov before a Stevenson fight anyway..There is no telling if Stevenson comes back to HBO after his business over on the other side..Kov will be alright,Kov vs Pascal is a big fight..Pascal would be the best fighter he's been in with,and a very(very)live dog..Originally posted by hamada44 View PostComment

Stevenson is the only guy who has avoided him, I think Kovalev can get good fights.Originally posted by hamada44 View Post
I'm with Rome, I'd like to see a Pascal fight in Canada. Give those fans a look at the guy Stevenson is avoiding, maybe turn some of those fans against him.Comment

Don't know how you can say the pimp is a better boxer than KOvalev, Agnew survived longer than all KOvalevs other opponents because he is a defense minded fighter with a very tight guard. Even then KOvalev managed to break through and knock him down 3 times. A more offensive fighter like Stevenson would get caught a lot sooner.Comment

I'll tell you what happend, bunch of haters, you don't have to worry about Adonis Stevenson, just worry about Sergey Kovalev.
He struggled against Cedric Agnew, only to get Ready for Stevenson.
If this same Agnew had more Stamina & Aggressiveness, Cedric Agnew would probably won that bout.
Adonis Stevenson reaction was base on ONE thing;
Kovalev says: (He's a piece of ****, on HBO)
***9658; That's what triggered Stevenson, nothing else (haters)...
But this "Stup*d" hate is good for boxing.
For all of you MMA lovers, hoping to see one day, the rising of the Great White hope, (I tought the Klitchko's were enough)..
Now, with this Kove weakness-exhibit:
- Jean Pascal will jump to the occasion to face Kovalev...
- Tavoris Cloud will jump to the occasion to face Kovalev too...
- Even Andre Ward knows he would win every single rounds against Kove...
***9658; But (The ESPN Legend) Kovalev will come up with a stup*d story, like:
- I was preocupied with this (disrecpected) move Adonis Stevenson did..
- I couldn't think/concentrate/focus on my gameplan that night.
- Because it wasn't me on that ring, everybody knows that.
- I was not there at 100%, & (Superman, Bla-bla-bla duck-coward) & thats's why I called him a piece of ****...
***9658; And finally, to avoid the pack of fighters running to him, he'll say:
- I fought a lot since 2012, It's time for me to take a break, I'll come back when a RRreal Champion will accept to challenge me.
+ Just wait & see...
***9658; Anyway, Kathy Duva & HBO doesn't pay him enough, to think about resting for a while. The 3 other major champions are with Showtime. Means he will have no choice to accept a Cloud or a Pascal, to make a bit more money. It's Mama Kathy who decides, like she decides to sign Kove under HBO ***AFTER))) Superman signs with Showtime. YES, I said ***AFTER))).
She had the option of proposing a bid to Showtime too, but she just didn't. Kovalev would've done more money per fight, but now he stuck with less... With no possibility to settle business with Haymon because of mama Duva emotional involvement in this story which she changed into a conflict.
A lot of haters lie to themselve, about believing Stevenson being scared
of Kovalev;
Hey! what would you say, if I told you, that it's Kovalev that never wanted this fight to happend. He & his entire team used Adonis Stevenson name to overboost his own image, making MMA lovers believe he is greater than the fighter of the year 2013, Adonis Stevenson.
But for the true impartial boxing fan, you know Superman would beat the
crap out of the Krusher. And finally, you believe Stevenson when he says, he moved to Showtime for a better money offer.
Unfortunatly HBO president "Ken Hershman" didn't match the Showtime bid, and now realize they're stuck with Kovalev, an Unidimentional fighter.
Hey! Hater, put this in your mind; Kovalev is not your Great white hope, he might exist somewhere, but it's not Kovalev.Comment
