    How many of his fights have ended in a draw though?

    I wonder if it’s a coincidence that the fight ended in a draw. Stevenson could not aford to lose but winning would also bring problems.

    I know, I know, tin foil hat and all but we already had one “boxing needs this” draw not so long ago and this plays into certain scheming hands perfectly.

    Actually, this thought has been gnawing me from after the fight. :) But I drive it away, because the fight was a draw, and it's not that easy at all to orchestrate such a draw...

    This is complete bull****, unfortunately... It's old information which now some journalists try to distort (maybe Gvozdyk himself doesn't understand it fully).
    Several weeks ago in an interview (it's not in English)

    Gvozdyk explained it. The point is that the winner of the Stevenson-Jack fight has 90 days to fight Gvozdyk.
    But the problem now is that there is no winner in that fight. So it's a deadlock. :( The WBC themselves can't force it now... They only can accelerate the Stevenson-Jack rematch...

    Sorry, but no. :) Clove would be гвоздика (gvozdyka). And gvozdyk means "a small nail", actually. :)
    And only small metal nail, not a fingernail. Gvozd' would be "nail".
