Comments Thread For: Kovalev - Canadian pit stop or prelude to Stevenson?

yep, you don't win one fight and become the champ forever, you have to defend it against the best contenders

Unless you are the Son of God.

If Stevenson does fight him , then at that point wouldn't it be safe to say he wasn't kidding when he told everyone that it would happen, he just wanted more money for this fight and therefore wanted it to build . Now it's much bigger because Kovalev has earned some real stripes . The season is ripe .

If Stevenson fights Kovalev he can start calling himself Superman again. But till the contracts are signed, he's still Superduck.

Let's not get carried away...

...fans of the Pimp. No, he is not shrewd. He is ******. Let's not forget he blew off Sergei, B Hop AND Pascal. To make a few extra bucks getting beaten to death by Sergei? It will be an easier fight for Kov than Pascal. You can bet the house on that. Adonis is a ****t* boxer.

I was at the Bell center on saturday night and it was the best fight I ever saw live. The crowd was crazy (and even more when Pascal won round 5-6) So sad the ref stopped the fight. And please, don't tell me Pascal was gased out.. yes he was not all there, but at the third round, he was in a worst position than that and he didn't ended the fight. The ref stopped it a little too soon. I'm not saying Pascal was about to win or something, but don't forget that he came back after getting knockdown for the first time of his career and he won round 5 and 6. That's his style : He never give up. I think the fact that Pascal had 4 fights in his last 4 years didn't helped him really well.. I think that if he stay more active and change a little bit his style (find a way to avoid Kovy's jab), he could have much better chance in a rematch. And please, don't tell me he suffered from headache after the fight.. Yesterday (Monday), he went to 3 differents talkshow on the same day and he looked pretty good.
And to those who thinks Stevenson is bluffing : He's not . I'm from Mtl and I read/watch everything about boxing in Mtl and Adonis also went to different Sports Show yesterday to claim Kovalev's fight. I also heard Yvon Michel (Superman's promoter) saying he wanted a purse bid as fast as possible.. So they're not joking. My prediction is that they'll fight on September or October 2015, in Quebec City, at the New Coloseum.. And to those who say Kovalev will knock him out : I agree Stevenson has a glass Jaw... but he hit hard and he's a southpaw (just like caparello, who knockdown Kovy). So don't count him done yet..
