Comments Thread For: Stevenson vs. Kovalev Still The Target By The WBC

Nails on a chalk board mixed with pulling teeth is just as painstaking to get these two in the ring.

In other words, it's not up to the WBC, so it doesn't matter if they "target" the fight or not.

Stevenson isn't getting any younger. If he still wants to win this fight he needs to go over to HBO and fight Kovalev this year.

Same old tape.. I just read Kovalev will fight Andre Ward in 2016.. while Stevenson will fight another cab driver in Haiti this summer. God, those dammit contracts issues are so lame. Give us what THE FANS want and stop thinking about your dammit wallet. Stevenson AND Kovalev are both guilty if the fight didn't happen..

There are several issues preventing the fight but Kovalev's new contract with HBO and Stevenson's affiliation with the PBC channels NBC, Showtime, CBS, SpikeTV, etc. are the biggest roadblocks.
