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

[Khasekhemwy]

I'm sure he really cares what you think...

[TheFlashKnows]

Stevenson can say whatever he wants hiding behind the king of mismatch making, al haymon

[Jc8804]

Stevenson came out of hiding to say this .

This dumb ninja acts like we dont know the haymon way.
Hide, let them tough guys beat eachother.
Fight TBA

Superman is coming for Ward after he schools Braehmer and Kovalev, you can't keep a superhero down forever.

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...

You under Adonis's payroll or something?

Simply Bhop knows Adonis stylistically is the much harder fighter and I think we probably know that Bhop would get sparked out by Stevenson.
With Kov Bhop stands a marginal chance.

From everything you said it sounds like a blatant duck.

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.

Maybe you've seen more of his fights than me but when I've watched Braehmer his defense has looked like a real weakness but he does seem to have a great chin and could get to Stevenson like Fonfara did. Can't see this fight happening though, for one Stevenson is using the "that's the fight we want, but first we'll fight someone easier" line. So many boxers use that BS, and Stevenson of course used it before. Second reason I don't think it happens is because Braehmar pulling out of big fights in the past.

mayweather 8 million, baldomir 1 million
cotto 7 million, martinez 1.5 million

braehmer is pretty sh-it dude. he's fought 1 top 10 fighter his entire career...and he lost! he even ducked cleverly so I don't see any reason why he would fight stevenson.

[Jubei]

Braehmer isnt fighting Stevenson, i don't see it. He will keep fighting bums (which he struggles against) here in germany.
