    This the same Gvozdyk that was dropped and hurt by Tommy Karpency?? LOL

    If this fight happens that left hand of Stevenson will surely find it's target.

      Try and spin that however you want
      There were 3 attempts to make Kovalev vs Stevenson and every one was initiated by Kovalev's promoter.

      Now let's see you try to spin that.

        The WBC is a joke. They could at least order some bum for a mandatory. Four and a half years without a mando?!? I mean dang, at least make whoever he wanted to fight as a mandatory or something. No mando's for five years. The WBC isn't even trying to look like they aren't corrupt. At least put on a show and act like you aren't taking bribes.

          Still sleeping on Adonis I see, but Gvozdyk's chin is suspect. Gvozdyk had me most excited out of the new prospects (Beterbiev, Bivol, Jack) because he has decent skills and can move around, but he can't seem to move his head as well nor does his chin give me much confidence. He shows he can play it smart though - something he will need to do against Stevenson or else his head is gone

            The last attempt was the only one where the hangup over the money and who would actually broadcast the fight had been settled, and Kovalev/Duva ran away when it became clear that they didn't have the money to actually compete.

            No spin necessary.

              Kovalev made so many attempts to get Superduck into the ring you've actually lost count!

              Or maybe you're just a lying Kunt with an agenda?

              Stevensons promoter said he was happy with the money Duva offered last time she tried to make the fight, but it was scuppered by Stevenson insisting it had to be screened jointly by both HBO and S.T. which was obviously never going to happen.

                LOL... Plz show me your trusted source...

                That urban tale has a strong hold on misinformed guys... Stevenson did, could and would fight in the USA... Just show him the $$$ ...

                      ... maybe they don't take as a serious business the WBC state of affairs at LHW... For instance, WBC ordered Stevenson-Alvarez at least twice, but Alvarez took step aside money... Then WBC ordered Gvozdyk to fight Marcus Browne, Barrera, Alvarez, but all these three withdrew from those ordered fights...
