    I used to think this fight, will be an even fight. However, Adonis "Bully" Stevenson showed us doubt. Which is very concerning :roll:

    If Hopkin's body is still up to it, he should have a field day with a crude guy like Stevenson. He has to be strong enough to keep him off, though. Kovalev is around the same level as Stevenson but slightly more refined.

    50-50 fight for me.

    Alot of people underrating Adonis and overrating Kovalev.

    No matter what it is one of the best fights that could be made in boxing along with Pac-Mayweather, Gamboa-Garcia, Danny Garcia-Provodnikov, GGG-Martinez, Huck-Hernandez and Ali Raymi-Sabillo.

    No one is underrating him, we just think Kovalev would beat him at his own game . 2 KO kings going at it, but one a little bit better. But what people are saying, is that Stevenson appears that he doesn't want to fight Kovalev and that is the biggest fight in the Light Heavyweight division, so we all assume that he is afraid of him.

    Yeh I have it 50/50. Stevenson will be difficult for Kovalev because he has skills and is elusive but most importantly - has the power.
    Kovalev has the power and probably a chin too so its a tough one to call.

    Nah.

    Still this fight has to happen. The biggest possible thing at the higher weight classes, and with Bute vs Pascal on the horizon, LHWs gone from almost nothing to one of the most exciting divisions.

    Kovalev - Stevenson MUST BE MADE!

    Key there is MUST and that pressure must be put on Stevenson to fight him or face severe consequences.

    The fight needs to be made in order to prove your point, but it seems like Stevenson would rather fight anyone but Kovalev at the moment. :deal

    Bellew made Stevenson come forward and he still destroyed him, his natural style is to counterpunch off the backfoot which is where he'd be against Kovalev. Kovalev got some scary power tho. 50-50 fight

    Kovalev KO6


    Badass fight though. I like em both (as fighters) and its winnable for Stevenson but I think Kova overwhelms him and stops him mid fight. In 5 or 6.

    Kovalev impressed me more tonite. But, I still think it is a near 50-50 fight, slight advantage to Kovalev. But yes, the fight needs to happen in March.
