Comments Thread For: Stevenson on Kovalev: I'm Ready, No Problem To Unify

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Quebec City - Adonis Stevenson retained his World Boxing Council light heavyweight world title with a lopsided decision over Australian Sakio Bika. Haitian-born "Superman" Stevenson dropped Bika twice, but he couldn't finish him off.

Bika, who was born in Cameroon, and formerly held the WBC super middleweight world title, fell to 32-7 with three drawn and 21 knockouts -- but he's still never been stopped inside the distance. The ringside judges scored the bout 115-111, 116-110 and 115-110 in favor of Stevenson, who had the vocal support of the crowd in his adopted home of Quebec City.

They might as well skip their next fights and just do this over the summer.

We'll see if ink is put to paper. Until then, it's just a nice idea.

Fun to speculate how we could have an Undisputed World Champion at HW and LHW by the end of this calendar year though - and I suppose 140lbs too if WBO can arrange something with the winner of Garcia/Peterson.

Does Kovalev have to defend against his mandatory or is there a rule that unification fights always have precedence?

Mandatory are "supposed" to enforce defenses against the rightful contender, so logically the IBF should welcome a unification fight.

I would be shocked if Wilder goes after Klitschko this year. But it would be a great fight if it happens.

Same with Stevenson-Kovalev. Enough talking about who is the better fighter, let's see them settle it in the ring!

Garcia/Peterson is at a catch-weight so the loser still gets to keep his belt.
