Duva: "Kovalev has more fans in Canada than Stevenson, they don't like Adonis"

[ea22]

That might be true, heard they were booing him in his last fight very early on for not finishing his bum quicker.

[TheRoger]

Yes I was there. They were booing him because I don't think either man landed a punch in the first round. Stevenson was clearly carrying him until about the third when he decided to land something BOOM! He does have this punch hits harder than kovalev. That's all hes got over him though.

people in canada dont give a fk about either.. canadians dont even know adonis , the only athletes they really care about are hockey players and gsp.

but if you wanna bring kov back be my ****ing guest, bring him to toronto!!

What part of the city you in bro? The Stevenson vs bika fight was supposed to be in Toronto but they ****ed it up ver the amount of gauze. ****** city lol

[bojangles1987]

I highly doubt that, but it would be amazing if Kovalev got more cheers against the Superduck than Quackenson.

Ya south Shwa is grimmmyyyy. I used to party in Durham quite a bit in my younger years I know the area well. Scarborough guy myself, live in markham now.

Anyway, here's the article regarding why it got squashed. Toronto limits the amount of gauze allowed, the promoter wanted more.

Hey guys - aurora Ontario here. The gauze regulations allow only 10 yards in Ontario where fighters in other jurisdicitons routinely use 40 or more yards. The guys don't want to fight here because of potential hand damage. I did catch bahoeli vs carman for the crappy Canadian hvywt championship (what a barn burner) those guys didn't seem to mind, but I guess once you're fighting for money instead of peanuts the game changes.

I have to respectfully tell Duva to not speak for us.

Quebecois peeps support their own to the fullest in combat sports.

Pascal, Stevenson, Bute, GSP (MMA)... Will never NOT be crowd favorites when they fight here. Its ridiculous to even think otherwise.

After what Kovalev did to Pascal, if you bring him back here to fight Stevenson the fight will be HUUUUUUUGE, but we will be rooting for Stevenson to take the crown back to MTL.

hahah thats crazy man, small world we live in.

but damn now i see why there arent big money fights in toronto, who the **** wants to fight with 1/4 of the gauze you normally do???

that basically crushed my dreams of a canadian fighter having super fights in the rogers centre, gsp did it and the gate was 15 mill!
