What is it with you guys who thought Jr was going to win? Are you all the same guys who thought he would beat Martinez?
Don't you realize that jr SUCKS?
Lets hope Provodnikov is not ****** racist & anti-semic as Mr. withdraw Kovalev is.
It***8217;s a shame for this sport, because Kovalev was surfing over a surreal wave of admiration, since Stevenson signed a better deal with Showtime. But in fact, Kovalev signed his deal with HBO (AFTER) Stevenson went to Showtime, I didn***8217;t say before, I said Kovalev signed AFTER.
And now that Haymon manage to open more options for all boxers, Kovalev re-signed another contract with HBO (AFTER) his victory over Jean Pascal, which clearly show how team Kovalev were bluffing all along about Stevenson. Kovalev is now playing the Jean Pascal game, by attempting to convince his fans that Stevenson doesn***8217;t want to fight him even when he mocks Stevenson, when in facts, he & Kathy Duva are the ones running together in the opposite direction.
I wonder what John David Jackson thinks about this fraud.
WBC light heavyweight Champion Adonis Stevenson is laying down the gauntlet to WBA, IBF and WBO Champion Sergey Kovalev to put all other considerations aside and to step up for a WAR to see who's the last man standing! At the presentation of the Emerald Belt in Mexico City, Adonis gave an insightful assessment of the victory of his former opponent Andrzej Fonfara, who stopped Julio Cesar Chavez Jr to win the WBC International Belt.
Adonis said: "This was a very good fight for Fonfara. You could see that he was bigger than Chavez, Chavez hadn't been in the ring for 13 months, and Julio should definitely go to 168lbs.
In that fight, Fonfara used speed and movement." Turning to the issue of Kovalev, Adonis' smile disappeared and he bluntly stated: "Sergey is looking for excuses. The purse bid on Friday is who puts up the most money and then we should do the show! I know that I can beat him, and he never fights big power punchers.
"My message to Sergey Kovalev is to fight me, as soon as possible and stop sending silly messages. It's not about the money. This is very much about who is the best! I know I'm the best and I'm the WBC Champion. If I fight him, I WILL win by KO. I know that I can beat him. I'm ready to fight him and this is the time!"
