    How much was the purse for Kovalev? I think he has a co-promoter with Top Rank. I know Main Events didnt pay him a base purse for the Ward rematch. And why was Teo fimo higher on the card then Commey and Valdez fights, they were title fights.

    Dont know if Kovalev is with Main Events or Top Rank, but pay the man. He will fight anybody Stevenson ducked Alvarez for years. He wants unifications. Beterbiev better not duck him.

    Beterbiev is too robotic to beat a focused Kovalev.

    I don't get all the hype about Beterbiev. he fights once a year, he's only a year younger than Kovalev, and he hasn't really beaten anybody notable... I literally don't know 1 name on his resume, except Callum Johnson, who is not a world level fighter, and even he hurt Beterbiev. He'll be exposed soon, just like David Price was... everyone was scared of his "huge" punching power, then he got laid out twice by a pensioner. I'm not buying the hype. Yeah, he beat Kova in the amateurs, but that was ages ago.

    Bivols last 2 fights showed how one dimensional he was, the last 2 opponents of his were Kova's leftovers, and he couldn't even close it out. if Kova came in the same shape he did agsinst Alvarez II, his chances are 80%. But Gvozdyk is another story...

    I really want to see him and Beterbiev get it on.

    They don't like each other at all, and would be a serious war.

    Kovalev SHOULD beat Beterbiev, but Beterbiev smacks like very few people I've seen; even off balance, arm punches are both audible on tape and also visibly hurting people. Could be very exciting while it lasts.

    Cloud, Campillo and Prieto are good boxers albeit the first two were past prime.

    We may never know but if they do, gentlemen's bet on that one. Kov may shoe shine him for a few rounds but AB breaks him down. No way I see AB losing this fight. Beterbiev beat him the two times they fought as amateurs and he will do the same thing as a pro.

    Not sure but I know Sergey deserves a big bonus for that comeback ass whooping/ schooling he put on that boy. Not many fighters comeback like that after KO defeats. Goes to show what a special fighter Kovalev is.

    I know they’re not brothers but Sergey and Gvozdyk will rule the 175 division like the Klitschko’s did at HW. Like Wlad and Vitali... they’re not fighting each other but will hold all the titles. Fun times ahead :)
