Exactly. The castefootball guys are too busy jerking off over Kovalevs power to appreciate elite skills and use Stevensons past as an excuse to hate him
Kovalev makes Adonass Stevenson his ***** and afterwards pimps him out to dirty old Russian billionaires.
Unimpressive and one dimensional? Bellew made him lead last night, he showed that he could dominate and knock people out going forward when he's naturally a backfoot counterpuncher. Yet to see Kovalev do anything but move forward and throw bombs, yes he has huge power but he's a lot slower and easier to hit than Stevenson, which imo would be the difference when they fight
Adonis vs Kovalev is gonna look just like Stevens vs GGG As soon as the big punching yank tastes Sergei's POWA, he's gonna cower in the ropes and get beaten like the filthy dog he is
Why does anyone support this scumbag? The guys a woman beating, torturing, raping, pedo-pimp, low-life.
Adonis is a scaredy cat. and, he wears scaredy cat pajamas. he is afraid of Kovalev, as well he should be.
The racial tension on this thread can be cut with a rusty butter knife. I like the match up and feel Adonis has the tools to win if he can avoid getting tagged with something huge coming from SK. Unfortunately I'll do my best to avoid conversations regarding this fight because of all the ethnic based undertones...is sad that we use this sort of match up as a mini race war.
of course he is, he's Russian isn't he? It's like some genres of heavy metal. Yes the artists may have ideological view points that are extremist and let's say, gay, but damn the music is good so I let that pass. Same with boxing. :hat
His past makes him hard to like frankly and I agree that he did look somewhat one dimensional. I'd give him no shot whatsoever at beating B-Hop for example based on styles alone. But make no mistake, he's clearly a top 3 LHW at the moment. In a fairly good and competitive division too.
