Kovalev wouldn't have fought Adonis like he fought Pascal. He'll just use his much better skill-set to fight him from the outside, than knock his ass out after sustained damage. Even if he did go rushing in to knock him out. Id still favour Kovalev because he has power in both hands. Not just his left. Fonfara had Adonis down. Kovalev would knock out Fonfara within 6 rounds. Your guy has 1 punch. Take that punch away with from him. He's a terrible boxer with low ring I.Q. Artur would beat Adonis right now. Ward could move up and show the world just how bad Adonis is at boxing. Froch could even beat him.
ah light heavyweight is a barren division for america russia have better fighters in that division on their own than america
I think even Hopkins beats Adonis. Hopkins would take that left away and counter all night long. Be a boring fight, but Hopkins would beat him.
you must be colossally stupid to think it's beyond any form of rational thought for stevenson to ktfo kovalev. maybe in your fantasyworld, that's some kind of sick mental illness. in the real world, it's very much a reality that stevenson will do it to kovalev. and do you really think anybody on this forum or this world really give a schit what you have to say about anything? you and your clownish delusions of being relevant.
Kova-Stevenson doesn't make it past 7 rounds. Stevenson's defense/chin isn't good enough to withstand the assault. It's boxing, so theoretically Stevenson could land something big but the odds are against him.
kovalev would fight different, huh? ...how about adonis? you think he might fight different too? dude, you clearly dksab....pascal basically exposed a major flaw in kovalev's style....HE'S FCUKIN SLOW AS SH*T AND EASY TO HIT! so, it don't matter if stevenson is a one-handed fighter...a one-handed fighter can catch him...and with adonis, all it takes is ONE. a lotta guys have better fundamentals than adonis...dawson, fonfara, even cloud... adonis only had 15 amateur fights...he's still OJT. But all the technique in the world is not gonna help you when the other guy lands his power punch on your jaw.
it's gonna come down to stevenson's explosive quickness vs kovalev's technical skill. i gotta go with stevenson....he's a southpaw. he's got earth-shaking power. he's big and strong, he can box and he can take a punch. but more to the point, he's SO fast that he's GONNA land clean punches on kovalev... lights out like james toney.
hopkins is 50 years old...he's an amazing specimen. but one lightning quick stevenson left hand would put an end to that fight. adonis might not KO hopkins, but he'll do some damage.
Last time I checked the record books. Kovalev knocked out Pascal. That win is better than anything on Adonis' resume. You say Kovalev is easy to hit? Have you seen Adonis recently? Bellew tagged him. Fonfara knocked him down. The above names are much slower than Kovalev and don't have his power, boxing technique nor his chin. Oh, and just for the record. Pascal would have hurt Adonis much more than he hurt Kovalev.
really? pascal is better than anything on stevensons' resume? i won't even dignify that stupid comment with a response. ever heard of capaarella?
Nope. I've heard of block button. He's defeated endless Trolls on web forums Worldwide for years and dosen't get enough credit for his work.
So you're bashing Adonis for winning? By saying kov would dominate a similar opponent.... So I guess we should not watch Mayweather v Pac because Mayweather blew out Juan M. M., Shane, Hatton, beat Oscar first and beat a NOT weight drained Cotto. Soooo by your logic it's an automatic win for Floyd. Matchups, training, focus, injuries, styles etc also determine ones performance too.. Adonis will be the toughest competition Kov has EVER faced and visa versa. It's a pick'em fight. Don't be totally ignorant.
