Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Stevenson Avoiding Me, Want His Belt For My Collection

[Lester Tutor]

Fighters talk the talk.

Where is Duva or K2 providing realistic and new negotiations for the press. Or is Kovalev and Stevenson writing to the press with new negotiation gossip.

Seems like Loeffler and Ward are better at providing details about negotiable fiascoes to the public, like the failed and ****** 164 bout..

Last time I checked Stevenson ran up on Kovalev and the Krusher ran away ring side. You'd assume some sort of retaliation if Kova truly wanted the Lineal or at least defend himself on television, whatever behavior, for the defacto boxing channel HBO....showing interest for the Lineal

But I guess for the Krusher internet gossip is the best way to retaliate doe

Last time I checked, everyone was mocking Stevenson for that laughably contrived and transparent 'confrontation.' Perhaps he would've been taken more seriously had he actually had the balls to approach Kovalev without being flanked by two gorillas and not reduced himself to a Scrappy Doo impression.

oh I see it was the gorilas! Gorillas apparently always stop confrontations and make another man walk away. I see. Gorilas these days!

Haymon is letting his guys fight on HBO as long as they are making the most money possible (Khan and Wade). He has shown that he will put his fighters in tough like with Broner, Thurman, Porter, and now Martin. What is he supposed to do make all of his fighters fight on HBO when he has multiple network obligations?

All they have to do is go to a purse bid and the winner will chose the network, but they won't because they won't win. The fighters would make more money this way. They could air it on both networks, or put it on ESPN and just add Max Kellerman to the broadcast team. Or make it a 2 fight deal 1 fight on HBO and the rematch on Showtime.

You guys keep arguing back and forth, when there is an easier solution to the problem. Haymon gave HBO Khan for a PPV fight. They can't give the Fans Kovalev for the fight the fans want?

I agree if HBO wanted it bad enough they could of helped out with the bid. But they didn't! And Duva WASTED everyone's TIME and SHE asked for it to go to bid???

too bad Lampley and Bhop's commentary after the fight isn't on youtube as Lampley told HBO subscribers that the fight of Kova vs Stevenson can't happen due to network political conflicts...

In the first place, the pimp ran from HBO when the Kovalev fight was already set.
The rest is just ducking talk.

World Boxing Organization (WBO), World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev is still hungry to capture more gold.

That's it Sergey, go collect that other belt.....

..... so that Ward can one-stop-shop in September

Slightly off topic - If we didn't have ShoBox and PBC, all of us would be brutally subjected to weekly cards from Top Skank and Golden Crap with an ENDLESS pageantry of prospects against hapless, helpless opponents who are put there with a single purpose to lose and to assist those prospects in becoming prima donna's who act like their sht doesn't stink when they beat on their chest after knocking over a guy who lost 6 out of his last 8 fights!

That's my new quote!

Very true! That's where it all started.
