Comments Thread For: Duva: 'Irrelevant' Stevenson Has No Interest in Fighting Kovalev

[Bronx2245]

Let's see if Stevenson's opponent is better than Shabranskky!

Am tired of these sort of promoters/managers, its there in black and white, you called for a purse bid and when the other side that i thought would duck the purse bid showed up, you didn't show up! That for me makes them lose any credibility.

AMEN

"Adonis Stevenson has proven time and time again that he has no interest in ever fighting Sergey Kovalev."

Then why did he agree to face Kovalev after Kovalev demanded that he become Stevenson's mandatory with a highly unusual 50/50 split?

This fight was mandated. Kovalev was the mandatory. Stevenson agreed to the fight. Then Kovalev vacated his title to duck Stevenson.

Anybody still falling for Duva's ruse is an absolute sheep.

why didn't he agree to the same exact split which was still available for years? you are essentially saying the only way stevenson would have fought is if legally forced and if not legally forced he wouldn't fight. that doesnt sound too good for him and its hard to pretend thats a duck. kovalevs career didnt revolve around him. also its easy to pretend you want to fight after negotiations go **** up but it doenst mean he actually would have ever fought. he might have dropped the belt if the purse bid happened. its all big talk. look at the guys resume the last 4 years. utter sh-ite. look at his ticket numbers and ratings. utter sh-ite and yet he never took the kovalev fight which was on the table. he knew he could use the "kovalev pulled out of the purse bid" line over and over to fool ignorant fanboys like youcept the reality is there were multiple opportunities to make the fight and he turned down every one. as a fanboy that you are, you of course only focus on one point in time so you can pretend kovalev ducked. if you focused on all the evidence you would see stevenson was not interested in ever fighting(unless forced) how is that a duck...close your mouth fake wbc clownboy. err wait is this the ibf clown? the wba clown? 3 people sharing one account lmao. how efficient...this is daggum from the wbo!

Interesting fight- both gas out by the 5th round resulting in a double TKO.

Chickenson is a joke and a disgrace to the sport.

[HanzGruber]

Another idiot - Kovalev just fought Ward twice - TF would he duck Chickenson for?

Kovalev was trying to fight him when he was on HBO Chickenson wanted no part of it...

duva ducked the wbc purse bid, thats a fact

[guitarboyled]

One thing is for sure... Kovalev can't afford to loose the next fight.
And now everyone has the blue print to his death star!

In fighting anyone. Don't even make it about Kovalev. He's never had any interest in fighting anyone. They've designed him as a ticket seller for the local Canadian market and unlike say, Lucian Bute, he isn't going to blow it by taking risks. He's conned his way to wealthy retirement.

All of his fans must be dumb drunks. Beind blatantly conned by a convicted underage sex trafficker. You really gotta hope karma exists and this guy falls ill before he can enjoy his millions.

Since Sergei appears to be vulnerable and have been exposed it seems to me that Adonis should be chomping at the bit to fight him.
