    Anyone that thought before this news that Stevenson jumped
    to showtime to 'make more money' doesn't know the biz of
    boxing. Those that still say that after this news is announced
    just hate white haters.

    If he gets a good trainer and tightens up his skills, he can still come back and beat Kovalev in the future.:yep

    They had the framework in place for Krusher v superman after their next fights long before Sho came along but didn't seal the deal. However, Al Haymon saw an opening and the rest is history. HBO left the door open a crack, Sho busted the door open and not only KOed HBO's big fight but created a mini tourney in the division. It was sheer brilliance to be honest.

    Kov will become a star soon enough and fighters will be lining up to get a shot when he has solidified his position as a major draw. If he were smart he would sign with Haymon:D

    No, he doesn't need to sign with haymon. He's got a good home
    with Duva. She'll keep him busy and paid well, ala Adamek, and
    the big fight will come. Ward will be justified to move up to fight
    Kov in 12-15 months time when the fight has built value. Adonis
    is a flash in the pan anyway. He's a 1 hit wonder with a damaged
    Chad dawson and he'll be exposed soon. I'd not be surprised to see
    him KO'd by the beef jerky necked pole.

    I am pretty sure 2mill is more than 1mill(or whatever is significant less that Sho's offer). I am also pretty sure a tournement will give him far more exposure than a fight with Kov right now. Why not go on and beat old man Bhop who has limited time in the sport and go on and fight Kov when he has more drawing power? Right now it sucks for Kov but to me this makes complete sense and for anyone who does not let their emotions rule their heads it makes sense too

    Believe it.
    After Agnew sees that tape he may look for a new trainer. Had he spent less time sitting against the ropes with that Peek-aboo style, he could have mounted a better offence and ripped up Kovalev's toilet tissue face. :yep

    Like Agnew said; I'll be back.

    you don't know, anymore than the rest of the esb keyboard reporters do,
    what Adonis 'the peice of sh.it' stevenson was getting from either
    network, so you call it would you want, and i'll call it what it is. A DUCK!

    Duva was the only one who took a chance at the time but that doesn't mean Kathy has done a great job. Kov is on the verge of becoming a mega star but main event does have the ability to take him to the next level.

    all haymons fighters get paid very well and I cannot remember any fighter saying a bad word about him

    Screw duva go for the green

    Yeah, he ducked into significantly more money (HBO's words not mine).

    I am pretty sure everyone on this board would love to make significantly more for the job the work at, why should boxers be any different?

    Kovelav has only lost 1 round in his last 15 fights so I doubt a new trainer would help much :hi:
