Stevenson Says Time Not Right For Kovalev Fight - Boxing News



I disagree with those comments by Stevenson. Judging by comments on line, people are up for this one, I don't think the fight could be more perfectly primed. Who would Kovalev have to beat to earn a fight with Stevenson? The natural progression for Kovalev is Stevenson. It's the fight HBO want. Hopkins is the lucrative match for Stevenson but surely the latter needs to beat Kovalev to earn a crack at Hopkins? Can't get to the pot of gold unless he eliminates all his rivals, right?

The time isn't right.........I mean he has Bellew on Saturday night.........and Bellew can fight...

Stevenson could be Michael Bentt !!!...........Cloud was finished and Tarver like Morrison kopped a punch while he was still cold........

Not sure about Stevo yet..........Saturday will tell us more........

Still pick him though but it's 60/40.........

Surely Stevenson is now the "pot of gold"? I mean, he is the king of the division, and a win over Bellow would mean wins over 3 top five fighters!

Honestly mate, wins over three top five rivals doesn't mean much if you haven't beaten your CHIEF divisional rival.


If Stevenson gets Hopkins now, then boxing is getting just more like a business when you can just ignore the final hurdle. What makes the fight so exciting now is that Stevenson's future is on the line. Fight wouldn't be the same if Stevenson had a few million in the bank.

I didn't write most of the quote that's been attributed to me. Are you just starting out with the quoting function, or are you genuinely trying to make me look bi-polar?

Sorry can you explain yourself please. The top line was attributed to you, as anyone could see.

They couldn't have justified having this fight on PPV, non of the casual fans will watch it.

See this part which isn't in the same color as the quote? That indicates that that this is an original statement. Typing your own statement in the quote bubble makes me look like I'm rambling

Look mate I'm not trying to bust your balls. Had I thought you'd done it intentionally, I wouldn't have commented, as that would have been you taking the mickey out of me, which happens. But I realised you were responding to me, so I was just trying to help out.

Yeah must admit I haven't worked the quote function out properly yet. So sorry if that irritated you mate. Can you explain how I do it, because it's going to take a lot of brain cells to actually sit down in front of a laptop and work it out for myself. It's called attention deficit disorder.

Maybe you should just experiment with some of Strongy's posts till you get it right.........

It won't affect the quality that is for sure..

To be honest, Strongy's a top poster in my eyes, paranoia aside, and the banter between you and him Truss, is always entertaining. As you mention Strongy, must say I share his suspicion in thinking Haye's cut was self-inflicted, for what it's worth.

Haha - it didn't irritate me at all, I just put out a shockingly poor excuse at a humorous take on the matter.

As for the quote function, it's simple enough, really. You click on the quote link. Then you simply type you're comment after the second {quote}

I just tried what what you said, but I can't get my comments out of the bubble if you understand. Never mind, just have to practise late one night.



Anyway, back to Stevenson, he looks to me that he might not like sustained pressure. Someone who really knows how to get inside would do him , I suspect. A light heavy Dempsey for example. Not sure Bellew can do it, as Stevenson is reasonably competent at keeping his distance, but I really hope the Scouser can pull it off. I think he could make it interesting.

I think Stevenson is going to give Bellow a beat down. Three fights in, and the guy hasn't lost a round this year. Bellow doesn't have the best chin going around, so he SHOULDN'T try pressurize, unless he wants to earn his money quickly

To be fair Herman, how many light heavy Dempseys do we have at the moment? That's the problem.

Kovalev would be a good fight, he seems to have that sustained pressure with power. Just need to see him against a good fighter to gauge him.

Bellew gets wiped out on Saturday night for me. Just isn't good enough IMO.

Hopkins could beat Stevenson mind. May be an ugly affair, but he is great at what he does.

He'll either want to be just out of range or up close so he can avoid the big left hand. Still get the impression Stevenson's an on top fighter though, important to take away his confidence if you want to beat him.

I think Kovalov against Stevenson is the best fight in the division.

Kovalev vs Stevenson could be fun. Though as Stevenson's biggest fan here, I'm obliged to create a thread titled "Why Stevenson doesn't need to fight Kovalev !!"

Isn't Kovalev fighting on the under-card? that would suggest a fight is close.

Based on the Froch fight, me predicting Adonis to wipe out Bellew whenever he feels like it probably means he'll get battered.

Agree with him to some extent, Kovalev does need to fight a big name, but who is there in the Light Heavyweight division who is willing to get in with him?

I can't think of anyone that could enhance his reputation except Hopkins. I would not want to see that though.
