Comments Thread For: Hopkins-Stevenson Deal Won't Be Hard, Says Michel

[mathed]

I don't see why everybody thinks Stevenson is scared of Kovalev. Stevenson might be flawed but his speed, power, and athleticism gives every fighter problems. Even someone like Kovalev. That left hand is very hard to slip and he throws it straight and fast. You can't automatically assume Kovalev could automatically take the beating Fonfara took last night. Come back and take the fight to Stevenson. If waiting for Stevenson to punch himself out is the recipe to beating him good luck withstanding that punch out put.

Stevenson has a weak chin man. You can see it a mile away, Fonfara dropped his ass and hurt him multiple times, that's why he went wild early trying to take him out because he was worried about the power. Kovalev would eat him alive, it would be a very bad KO loss, knocked out cold type of a loss.

The bad thing is that BHOP will demolish him skill-wise as well so he is no better off running from Kovalev.

Yep after Haymon negotiates two more "tune ups" cause now you have a hand injury...the merry go round is becoming painfully obvious. Espinoza better wake the fk up there are more guys on Showtime getting tuneups than cars at midas.

I'd laugh, but I doubt neither network would take that tune-up crap again from him. It's either fight Hopkins/Kovalev or fight in Canada.

Showtime better get what they're looking for... they're about to invest a whole lotta money in him.

No doubt the deal will have options

No ****! This was the plan all along. Get schooled by old ass BHop and instead of getting destroyed by Kovalev.

[US Dirk Killer]

LOL of course it is... they've been planning this all along. I hope Duva wins that case and drags Stevenson into the abyss.

spit him out when he's done and useless as a beltless chump

BHop in 12, 7-5.

[KingTito]

Pretty obvious this is the next fight.

[Weebler I]

Hurry up and make the fight then.

[Hougigo]

Hurry up and make the fight then.

I assume theyll wait ot make it official after Stevenson's hands heal... but wouldn't be surprised if there's already a deal in place
