Again you PROVE your'e not just a troll. Good job Dino:good I wholly agree. And yeah, Stevenson had signed the 2 fight deal which included KOvalev, but HBO execs would not match the Fonfara offer that Showtime made. So Kathy Duva has PROOF that Stevenson ducked Kovalev since he signed, but Stevenson's claim is his advisors hadnt signed off on it.:huh
0 chance that happens,more like BHop will clinch and do his best to survive, more than likely gets stopped.
Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI · 1h SI Sources: Bernard Hopkins-Sergey Kovalev have signed agreements to fight in early November. Paperwork with the IBF. Brooklyn or AC venue. Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI · 1h Fight will be televised by HBO. The IBF exerted pressure on Hopkins to reach a deal by 5 pm or face a purse bid for mandatory challenger. Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI · 1h Hopkins is scheduled to be in AC for Kovalev's fight tomorrow night, per source. Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI · 21m Spoke to @StephenEspinoza. Expressed surprise at Hopkins decision. Told me the Showtime offer for a Stevenson unification was similar. Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI · 13m Asked Espinoza if this damaged SHO'S relationship with @GoldenBoyBoxing: "I'm not sure. I have to hear from Oscar...process all the info." :happy :happy :happy
Besides having bigger punching power, there is nothing Kovalev does better than Dawson. Chard Dawson that beat Adameke will easily school Kovalev.
Drozzy, I'm a born skeptic. I believe none of what I hear and half of what I see. I sincerely hope this fight gets made but I am not convinced yet.
Looks like it's all signed :happy http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/11297248/bernard-hopkins-line-fight-sergey-kovalev-175-pound-unification-bout
I don't even know why I'm doing this but let me go ahead and do it anyways. First of all you're a hibitual hater of American boxers despite being from this country. You the type that licks the balls of foreign fighters at the expense of more accomplished and proven countrymen of yours. I remember your love affair with Lucien Bute some years ago until Froch threw a wrench at him. Not surprised, here you are again with the balls of anothers foreign fight inserted into your big mouth. Funny no one ever mentioned Pavlik's drinking problems until Hop schooled. Knowing your history, I'm not surprised at your terrible attempt to diminish the significance of a 43 year old Hopkins victory over the much younger Kelly Pavlik.
