Curtis Stevens vs Schiller Hyppolite may be close for Kov/Pascal undercard

[Hougigo]

Le clan de Schiller Hyppolite serait très près de s'entendre avec celui de Curtis Stevens. Un combat présenté demi-finale de Pascal-Kovalev.

@R_Munny yes! Really close.

If he wins, a Lemieux fight with Stevens would definitely be talked about

Also Mikhaylenko may be fighting Ray Robinson on the undercard. TR probably went a different way with Zewski. His best win is against Narh and he fought Porter/Solomon back to back.

Although not a done deal yet, the likely HBO-televised co-feature for the Sergey Kovalev-Jean Pascal lightweight title rematch on Jan.30 at the Bell Centre in Montreal will pit up-and-coming welterweight Dmitry Mikhaylenko (20-0, 9 KOs), 29, of Russia, against Ray Robinson (20-2, 9 KOs), 29, of Philadelphia. Mikhaylenko is in the same Egis Klimas managerial stable as Kovalev and featherweight titlist Vasyl Lomachenko.

Mikhaylenko is coming off his best victory, an eighth-round knockout on Aug. 8 of former interim junior welterweight titlist Johan Perez. He also owns wins against Sechew Powell and Ronald Cruz. Robinson is riding a nine-fight winning streak since decision losses to former titleholder Shawn Porter and undefeated Brad Solomon.

I remember seeing Hyppo on a undercard once and thought he looked like a KO waiting to happen very loose with his manners but that was awhile ago

RR is a tougher fight than Zewski

[Eastcoast]

I take it this will be at SMW?

Should be...don't think Schiller gonna make 160, so either max SMW, or cw...but probably 168 because he's fought there before

I'v never seen this hippo guy before. He doesn't look good... just some guy who beat a bunch of journeyman. And that neoplitan fight, he KO'd a guy who was also getting beat up by a journeyman in his first loss.. and he's 20.

Stevens going to win despite being a midget

[Hougigo]

NVM, it's dead

Fight is off for Jan 30 Nobody wanna fight fuccing Punks����. So Ima wait on Lemieux. Let's see what happens ��

HBO weren't interested

@R_Munny @Showtime_curtis HBO is not interested. So no money.

— Nancy Audet (@naaudet_TVA) December 28, 2015

But I bet he'd still be on the shortlist for Lemiuex... even though he hasn't won since April 2014 or fought since late 2014

[Hougigo]

@R_Munny @boxing no. His promoter has offered him Hyppolite but he said no. They won't give him Lemieux.
