Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson Eyes Braehmer, Then Hopkins-Kovalev

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson (24-1, 20KOs) is mapping out his career until mid-2015. Stevenson is going to return on September 27th at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

Stevenson had hoped to face IBF/WBA champion Bernard Hopkins. He received some bad news last Friday, when Hopkins finalized a November unification against WBO champion Sergey Kovalev.

Bonne chance!

I thought Hopkins said Stevenson's people stopped returning his phone calls and he signed the Kovalev fight on his mandatory defense deadline fed up with waiting. That doesn't sound like Stevenson hoping to fight him.

I tend to believe the guy who is fighting everyone in his division at age 50 over the grinning pimp who wets himself every time Kovalev is mentioned.

I'd love to see Brähmer vs Stevenson, but I won't believe this fight happens before it's signed. Of course the germans promotor (Sauerland) is facing a different reality when thier lucrative TV contract with ARD expires at the end of this year.

You listen to much DRC aka Dan Rafael, when he doesn't know he search & when he doesn't find, he Creates...

Did you know, Bernard Hopkins wanted to be paid 5 millions for the unification against Adonis Stevenson. He wanted to have 70% of the purse, which would left 2.1 million into Stevenson pockets. Instead of the 3.5 millions aggrement both opponents were suppose to make. Adonis Stevenson is the lineal Champion of the division, which means he cannot get under 50% of any purse.
Hopkins is a wise experimented man, so he knows what's good to keep his legacy alive.
Meanwhile, Kovalev accepted to fight Hopkins for 650 000$.
Please tell me why Hopkins rejected a 3.5 millions deal with Stevenson, by taking Kovalev/Less for 70% of the purse, means 2 millions.

Hopkins saw something in Kovalev he could exploited.
He probably saw something in Stevenson, but he wasn't sure if Stevenson noticed it & adjusted it too.
But on the easy side, Kovalev prepared himself mentally and physically for 2 southpoles, and now has to reprogram himself in a short period of time to fight the sole scientist-unOrthodox Bernard Hopkins.
Will he be ready on time to change his movements & fight the complicated Alien:
Bernard & I doubt so...

Anyhow, what about the lawsuit, this Mama Duva case against Stevenson wasn't credible.
But why interrupting this fake lawsuit, if it was a tricky legal way to get Kovalev vs Stevenson in the futur.
Because, after Hopkins vs Kovalev fight, what will be guaranteed to have a confrontation of Hopkins or Kovalev against Adonis Stevenson. You see, this phony trial was a form of duty for a fight against Stevenson, but this (guarantee/case) got interrupted by Kathy Duva herself.

Now on, we'll see who wants who, Stevenson always wanted to fight both, but he wanted to follow an order to generate more money: But anyway Stevenson will get & unify all the major belts whatever the moment is, if the 2 other players don't duck out; You people know how Stevenson gets when he's hungry for more...

Stevenson is a clown....funk that ninja....pimp playing hoe games!!...smh

Braehmer is not at all an easy fight, that guy is tough as granite and has some defense too. He has a great clinch, pretty fast hands, solid feet, almost never gets hit flush and counters pretty accurately so I wish Adonis a lot of luck even getting to the Hop-Kov winner.
