    Stevenson's got a puncher's chance. We already know that.

    Well a lot of people are saying that since Fonfara took Stevenson to deep waters that Kovalev would destroy him. Fonfara showed some chin, guts and determination which we have yet to see from Kovalev.

    Are you kidding? Fonfara got outboxed by campillo for most if the fight before the KO. Kovalev beat campillo into submission in a few rounds. And you're going to tell me that Kovalev doesn't have the guts or determination?

    Kovalev would walk Stevenson down and violate him.

    If Fonfara wasn't a top opponent I assure you he wouldn't have handled that first round and folded quick.

    How is it very good win vs fighter that was picked for him to destroy.
    Ward would school him in first fight at LHW, Kovalev stops him, Hopkins has really big chance but with 50 year old fighter you never know.

    Adonis was -1700 favorite. You go through the 'fire' vs the likes of Kovalev, Ward, hopkins etc. not a massive light punching underdog:rofl:nut

    If anyone went though 'the fire' it was Fonfara, not Steveson.:yep

    He got spent in round one going for. Ko

    Moron

    If a fighter can circle away from the straight left, Adonis has zero defense and a very suspect chin

    I can't see how he beats ward based on this fight

    And kov murders this fool

    This....

    I don't like Ward b/c he refuses to fight......but yeah, I think he'd spark Stevenson midway through the fight.
    KOvalev......yeah, I can't see Adonis making it out of the ring on his own will after the first rd.
    He'll be carried out by the medics.:thumbsup

    Its simple he doesnt, it would be worth watching first 3 or 4 rounds after that Ward dominates him to wide UD decision.

    doesnt mean shi.t
    good fighters always have fights like this. look at lennex lewis vs Zelijko M.
    holyfield looked like garbage vs czyz before the tyson fight, everyone said tyson would kill him.....
    dont get carried away, its 1 fight....and he won....
