Comments Thread For: Duva: Kovalev Will Face Mohammedi Next After Pascal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Nadjib Mohammedi has been in position to challenge for the International Boxing Federation title at light heavyweight since last June, when he stopped Anatoliy Dudchenko in an elimination bout.

At the time, the IBF titleholder was Bernard Hopkins, who was able to pass by his mandatory obligation thanks to the unification bout he had with Sergey Kovalev later in 2014. Kovalev won, adding Hopkins’ IBF and WBA titles and picking up his mandatory obligations.

So much to Stevensen fighting Mohammedi for Kovalev as to get him out of the way earlier for the proposed unification. All hot air from Michel.

Stevenson is with Haymon and he is part of the PBC series. Kovalev has a contract with HBO.

If the WBC enforces the mandatory, it will go to purse bids. Only way the fight happens is if Michel wins the bid and HBO lets Kovalev fight on the PBC series. If Main Events wins the bid, Stevenson will drop the WBC belt but he'll remain the lineal champion.

I don't see HBO allowing Kovalev to fight Stevenson on another network. They don't gain anything from that. They'll turn their hype machine towards Kovalev-Ward instead.

no kathy he will be fightin pascal in a rematch trying to get his belt back...COPY AND PASTE THAT AND SHOW THE WORLD WHEN I'M RIGHT...
kovalev has not show me that he knows how to deal with an ambush quick attack guy like pascal...and his stamina is still in question b/c hopkins didn not land anything to drain him out..pascal start early kovalev has had the tendency to need a round or so imo even tho lots of his ko's come early..kovalev has not proved that he can counter or move his head on the back foot or defensive posture..only way he wins is if pascal gasses 10x's more than kovalev does..
