Poor Mohammedi - the guy is actually a pretty solid fighter who I'd say has improved since his earlier losses. He ain't elite by any stretch but he certainly ain't a soft touch either. However, it's clear that NSB would much rather discuss the ongoing Kovalev - Stevenson saga for the umpteenth time rather than sticking to the topic at hand.

It's hard to ignore the same misinformation, posted time after time by the same people, every time Kovalev's name is mentioned here.

Kovalev, along with GGG and Pacquiao are held to different standards here

My unpopular opinion was that Pacquiao wanted no part with Mayweather prior, Golovkin wants no part of Andre Ward, and for now atleast, Kovalev wants no part of Stevenson

I blame promoters, but these fighters dont get called out when they're behaving counterproductive, people will quickly name all the fighters that are ducking GGG, but are quick to ignore that hes....kinda ducking Ward. Seeking smaller fighters two divisons below him, and ignoring moving up one division to face the one fighter that makes sense for him

I dont know why fans think these face first punchers are in such a rush to face a slick boxer.... Punchers know what they are, and know their limitations

"Face first punchers" ? Do you know boxing at all?

Also, since when Adonis Stevenson is a slick boxer? One could say he's like Pacquiao: relies mostly on his straight left hand. I guess he's a face first puncher too, huh?

Take your agenda, and GTFO of here.

Lol. I'm sure it looks a lot better than the money I earn working a mail sorting machine in the UK.

It happens all the time.

Why Vegas they should of tried to go to Canada see if they could draw more fans than Adonis.

I've said it before this should have been on Ndam/Lemieux card.

But yes Moh manager was running wildly amusing smack that will look foolish when he gets blasted out in 2-3 rounds

Kovalev will fight Stevenson, but Sergey's people will be calling the shots - not Stevenson's.

He who brings the money, calls the shot, regardless of anything else.

Stevenson-Kovalev brings more money for the live gate at the Bell Centre in Montreal then at any other venue on the continent, and likely on the planet, the Canadian PPV for the fight is going to drive the lion's share of money brought in, and Stevenson's backers are ready to put more money behind the US rights fee than Kovalev's backers seem willing to put up.

So, unless HBO is ready to put a PPV budget behind Kovalev, Sergey's people need to take a seat.
