Comments Thread For: Duva: Fans Will Watch KO Puncher Kovalev vs. Anyone

[Fetta]

It's ok when casuals turn into Floyd's mismatches doe. And he can't even KO them.

Duva, Kov, and his fight.....where does Floyd come into this? I know all you want to do i talk about him but come on let it go. There are other fighters out there.

Like i say, casuals want the mismatches to see KO's. NSB likes to say mismatches suck and this and that but she is right. Overmatched foes getting KO'd is what they want to see. Just look at GGG and how fast he is rising while fighting no one.

Kovalev and GGG are exciting, but not as brutally exciting as Tyson was. Roy Jones jr was incredibly exciting in terms of his tricks and athleticism, which I had never seen before, not even from Ray Leonard, tho I'm not saying that Jones would have beaten Leonard.

jones would have beaten SRL imo..but i agree to your point tyson was always the smaller man but was invisible..constant motion..everything compact and then out of nowhere a cannon of a leaping left hook...sergey is a guy with rangy type of power he'll go rounds if your smart enough..ggg is a mechanic waiting, calculating..getting hit a bit slipping a bit..then with power form nowhere that is not that fast...and your point to roy it was just unimaginable the things u would see him do just dazzeled even the biggest boxing head

it's funny that i dont hear any boycott talks from the same ppl that said boycott floyd vs chino...and chino is likely more exciting that ggg and kovalev put together..there is nothing caculated with him..he just wants to end you///but if we did boycott how smart we would be..kovalev would be off hbo and right on pbc where everyone could fighter everyone..hbo does not love boxing they only air it bc ppl pay for it

[tiliheels]

the promoter can care less about his legacy..she basically says with this headline i want tv time and gate...hbo is right along with me that we can feed him anyone and ppl will watch..but your opening the door to resume critics, but not in kovalevs case he's proved himself vs bhop and pascal..

She's right. When it comes to casuals, so long as they know that the fight will end in a dramatic stoppage or KO, they will tune in. They dont care about the competitiveness of it. They tune in for the entertainment.

Pit 2 slick boxers against one another and the average casual will turn the channel after 2 rounds of posing and jabbing.

She's got a partial point.

If I'm bored with nothing to do or watch on a Saturday night and I know Kovalev is fighting, I would tune in expecting a possible KO or exciting fight.

Now against an actual named opponent, I will make it a priority to tune in and watch. That's the difference I think between watching him vs a named opponent and just a tune-up fight/no name mandatory.
