Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson: If Haymon Tells Me Kovalev, No Problem

[Mukuro]

why do ppl keep saying hes scared, as if that left hand cant send Kovalev to the moon if it lands flush.. its way too much politics and bullsht behind this fight, i doubt fighters themselves are afraid

He could do damage with it, but it is hard to beat a real guy like Kovalev with one punch in your arsenal.

Only person Stevenson has sent to the moon is a glass-chinned Dawson coming off a knock-out loss.

It took him 7 rounds to get Cloud out, 6 rounds to get Bellew out, 5 rounds to get Sukhotsky out and he couldn't get Fonfara or Bika out.

His power is overrated.

and presumably when haymon says 'no' that's no problem too

So basically if Haymon tells me to get down on my knees and fix it -- I do it.

how can al hymie make any money off stevenson with the kind of opposition he's been fighting

haymon's business model appears to be to make profit in increments over a sustained period without taking any risks

Haymon money must lose money every time Stevenson fights. He's paying him $2million+ for fights nobody is interested in watching. and Adonis is 38 yo, so it's not like he's going to improve if Haymon keeps protecting him.

I can understand him wanting to have a lineal champ in his stable. But the way he is matching Stevenson is doing nothing but harm to the Haymon/PBC brand and reputation.

This fight should be made.

Problem for Stevenson is all he has is that counter left. His jab is crap and he slaps with his right hook. Not much of a body puncher either. Kovalev has power in both hands, a good jab and throws well to the body. I'd say Stevenson has a puncher's chance at best.

Back when Duva was building up the Kovalev/Stevenson unification battle, I saw it as a 50/50 fight and one I badly wanted to see.

But Kovalev has proved himself to be much better than I thought he was back then, and Adonis has been exposed as a one-trick pony. Apart from his left hook, Stevenson doesn't seem to have a lot going for him.

I would love Kovalev to beat him and unify the LHW titles. But, as a fight, Kovalev/Stevenson doesn't interest me too much any more. I think Kovalev would handle him easily.

Kov was KO before. And beterbiev also beat his ass twice. Everyone here is saying a pascal rematch is in order because he rocked kov.
Imagine if stevenson lands. I don't like either but both have power

What is Haymon doing with all those "fighters". Castrating them? Injecting female hormones?

... we are living in a gay-dominated era -- he's adapting.
