Kovalev will eat this guy alive. I want to see Ward step up and fight Kovalev, just like when he challenged Dawson. But im 99% sure Ward will duck the fight.
Styles make fights and Stevenson is all kinds of wrong for Kovalev. Kovalev has serious power but apart from that I don't see anything special Sillakh has a good chance of beating Kovalev before we see the end of 2013 anyway
Well I hardly doubt that Stevenson will be doing his showboating routine as he did with Cloud, it would look a little silly as he will be running and fighting for his life. Point is, I don't expect Stevenson to stand and trade. But he does have the type of power that will keep Kovalev from rushing in all willy and/or nilly, and I do think he'll have some sort of success for a time, staying mobile and countering Kovalex, before getting caught with something unpleasant. I'd say a mid-late tko for Kovy.
:nono Sergey has a sense of humour. He will let Adonis' head swell up after getting away with his pseudo-slick roaming in circles in the 1st....then smash it like a ripe melon.
Kovalev's a level above Stevenson. Watch Kovalev vs. Campillo again. Kovalev was landing at will from the bell. No amount of hustling and jiving from Stevenson will keep him safe.
Pseudo slick? Cloud barely touched Stevenson, he actually landed nearly double the punches against Bhop through round 7 than he did on Adonis. You lot are seriously underrating Stevenson and overrating Kovalev. And im sure we can all agree Dawson and Cloud are better wins than an old Campillo and featherfisted Cleverly that tried to go toe to toe with him
Stevenson getting KTFO so badly by the kryptonite bomber he won't be able to say Kovulev let alone spell it.
Kovalev is a volume punch and doesn't have the 1 puncher power that Stevenson possesses. I see a Stevenson 7th Round KO where Kovalev is gassed and gets caught with a left counter and put to sleep.
u reckon he dont have 1 punch power, i bet he does. the way people just be arguing stevensons case is that he is much faster than kovalev.
Kovalev has huge power no doubt, the difference is he telegraphs his shots and his opponents see them coming... Stevenson is one of the best counter punchers in the game right now with the handspeed of a MW, its the punches you dont see coming that do the most damage
