We'll know soon if HBO is going to blow Stevenson-Kovalev. They have a deadline coming to match Showtime's offer for Stevenson-Fonfara.

HBO coulda wrapped up Stevenson 2-fight deal while ago but got really cheap all of a sudden and it looks like it'll come back to haunt them.

@ChrisMannixSI If it happens, HBO brought it on itself. Could had this wrapped up ages ago for a tiny amount of additional money.

By all accounts, HBO had 2-fight deal agreed to w/ Stevenson/Yvon Michel. HBO's screw up was not getting it signed in Jan when they agreed.

How do you let a deal like that sit unsigned when there are people in #boxing whose mission it is to screw things up? For shame, HBO.

most of these "american" whites have to live vicariously through eastern europeon and russian whites bc "american" whites bc they were never the tougher versions of the white ethnic so they become more of the manipulative sort that rule through illusion and perception based off of deception.
thats why you see them praise eastern europeon fighters and russians but at the same time diss russia and eastern europe ALL the time.
and we already know the VAST majority of these internet geeks would NEVER say NONE of this in physical form or they'd get

Not happy that the guy won tonight, eh?



Sucks that this fight will never happen because of TV contracts but Stevenson is less relevant these days.

i dont mind that he won but the fact that they chose him as a rematch shows that they have no one else to fight there shouldnt have even been a rematch and i've said this when the fight first got announced.
pascal in my estimation lost to the gonzalez dude but they went with pascal bc he has a bigger name all the best fights are showtime except for Andre Ward
and when he gets there its gonna be a totally diifferent fight than pascal bc pascals STYLE is tailor-made for kovalev and basically any boxer
