Comments Thread For: Kovalev-Stevenson Falls Through; Kovalev To Russia in June?

[Superbee]

so what is the reason? Doesn't really explain anything.

Yvon Michel said today they got a fair offer from Main-Events. HBO wanted a PPV event, GYM-Haymon wanted to drag Showtime in it for a Pacquiao/Mayweather like joint venture... HBO said no... End of the story ...

Booooooo........

[tiliheels]

stevenson has lot of guys trending upward at pbc fight meanwhile kov doenst know if andre ward will ever fight again...
duva should have signed kovi up with haymon instead of hbo...taking him out the country proves to you wat i am saying..hbo has no need for him until ward proves he can fight

[Jubei]

Stevenson has officially become irrelevant, will retire soon anyways. He will be remembered for being a piece of **** and a duck.

If Manny Steward was still alive he would abandon Stevenson.

Thanks, that's too bad.

I'm sorry dude, but you are sadly mistaken. The facts do not support your premise. When Stevenson was with HBO, Hopkins was a *SHOWTIME* fighter. Stevenson jumped to Showtime so he could fight Hopkins. Hopkins then jumped to HBO to fight Kovalev.

To suggest that Stevenson ducked Hopkins is absolutely ludicrous, especially when he was actively pursuing Hopkins.

Actively pursuing Hopkins lol, why don't you dig up Hopkins' take on the negotiations with Stevenson. Hopkins got tired of Stevenson ****ing around in the negotiations so he decided to instead fight Kovalev which took no time at all to make, that's what happens when both guys want the fight.

WBC champions saying no to mandatory fights , and the WBC does nothing

Stevenson , Canelo, Garcia, Wilder

Yup, exactly. Stevenson is the problem in getting all these fights done. He hasn't fought Hopkins, pascal, or Kovalev, when he had the chance multiple times. Meanwhile, all the others have fiougjt each other. it's clear who the problem is.

kov fought a 50 YEAR old hopkins,
jean pascal was beaten arguably 3 times by hopkins twice and carl froch before kov got to him and pascal was slowin' down even then
kov has had a light touch at lhw and really only has two names on his resume of note
hopkins and pascal thats really it
stop playin' like somebody "duckin'' him nobodys duckin him he just bein' protected by duva bc thats their star

Still they're much much better than Karpency, Bika, Sukhotsky. Adonis had first dibs on both, but lesser money for lesser risks is more his thing

FACT: he agreed to fight kovalev and kovalev pulled out.
