Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson: Duva Used Me To Get New HBO Deal!

[KrusherStan]

An ex-pimp complaining about being used?! Boxing never fails to surprise me

It's called karma my friend. Sooner or later it comes. And hit you up harder than a hard hitting boxer.

That is exactly right !

I like Kovalev, but Stevenson is on point here.....

Team Kovalev talked utter shht, and then ducked out the back door at the very first opportunity.

No idea why, but Stevensons thoughts could be correct on the matter.

Maybe they did play him against HBO.

Anyway, it doesnt matter why......

* Kovalev called Stevenson a piece of shht
* Kovalev called Stevenson a coward for moving to Shotime
* Duva admitted that the Shotime deal was in Stevensons best interest
* Duva pulled out of a purse bid
* Kovalev then prcoeeded to to the exact same thing that he abused Stevenson for doing..... killing the fight by signing an exclusive TV deal

Funny shht !

The most relevant comment in that article.....
" thats why they have a purse bid "

Technically, neither fighter ducked..... but if anybody is going to throw stones at all, then it shouldnt be at Stevenson.

This pandering to HBO is mindless rubbish.

who cares the fact people let duva and kovalev get away with it after burying stevenson just shows the ridiculousness of fans and how the hold different fighters to different standards. both kovalev and stevenson are pieces of **** we all know that

You just cant stop keeping it real.

Good poster !

If anybody should get the blame, it certainly shouldnt be Stevenson.

Neither fighter is fighting the best guys out there. Kovalev beat "has Jesus' beeper number" Hopkins and "I'd rather model" Cleverly. Pascal was a good win but he's getting up there in age. Adonis beat "clumsy ass" Bika and "sad Chad" Dawson. Fonfara might be the best fighter either guy has beaten which makes my point. It's a sad situation in the Light Heavyweight division.

And yet..... still MILES better than middleweight.

this stevenson-karpency fight is the worst thing that has ever happened on september 11...

that was a good one hehe

[aboutfkntime]

I like the guys style but lets be real.........
Kovalev will KO Adonis in 9 rounds or less...there's no way he can take his punch.....obviously...
Lets milk the 2013 Fighter of the year award a few years first
fight fans you know whatsup -

There will be two guys participating in that fight..... so if Stevenson lasts 9 rounds, then Kovalev better have one hell of a chin himself my friend.

I still think it's a pick em fight now. Last year I fancied Adonis but the longer it takes to make the fight I have to give the edge to Kovalev. Duva is doing the smart thing delaying it.

Agreed, he is no spring chicken.

I think he is 38 or something ?

The longer it takes to happen, then likely the more it favors Kovalev.

I still think its a 50/50 fight.

A difficult style matchup to pick for sure.

Kovalev has developed nicely. Early next year would be ideal for this.

Purse bid, winner gets the glory, loser keeps quiet, just like always.

I agree completely. There are more competitive fights in the MW division which makes it worse.

Nobody cares about you Stevenson.

not even people in montreal (his hometown) care anymore. thats why he is fighting in some mediocre arena in toronto.

if he were more popular he could easily sell out air canada centre. a much better more well known toronto venue. what a joke. i hope his popularity completely collapses for good.
