Where do people get this idea that Adonis Stevenson ducked Kovalev from?

[HeroBando]

Stevenson fights before packed houses damn near every time he fights.

I don't see any live dogs on Kovalev's resume...just puppies and one old dog.

No he doesnt. His attendance is pitiful for Quebec standards since he left HBO. Same with TV ratings

Did he really say the bolded?

Most of the time it's the 40 talking.... But yes, he's definitely a biased POS with zero knowledge about too many subjects

He did. Made some comment about Stevenson being a chicken and Kovalev needing to harass him to make the fight. When I called him out on it, he said he was joking and that he really didn't know what to think about the situation and was unsure of who did the ducking. Pretends he's a Floyd fan too but accused Floyd of ducking Pacquiao using drug testing and when they finally fought, he was so mad at the outcome he was *****ing about the fight being fixed. NSB, folks.

Because his team called for a purse bid and then ducked that purse bid.

No he didn't do that. He ran from Hbo when they tried to make the Kovalev fight, and since then fought bum after bum to plummeting ratings and attendance. Had an inside track on all the name fights in the division, repeatedly fail to make any

FACTS:

#1 - Kovalev petitioned the WBC to allow him to unify his world titles with their diamond title.

#2 - Kovalev petitioned the WBC to make him the mandatory challenge to the world title if he won the diamond title.

#3 - Kovalev's HBO contract expired and he was a television free agent.

#4 - The WBC orders a purse bid to make the Stevenson-Kovalev bout.

#5 - Stevenson agrees to face Kovalev.

#5 - Kovalev refuses to participate in the purse bid, vacates his diamond title, refuses to face Stevenson, then signs a new deal with HBO.

Right, this is the guy that got stripped of his Rung belt for being a lousy champ
