My gut tells me Stevenson lays Sergei out flat

Thanks for correction

 

Could make all the difference with Kov's relatively low right hand. But realistically... nah.

 

Adonis is physically capable of KOing Kovalev & for this to happen he has to land enough punches to cause physical damage to Kovalev.

Scenarios of Adonis victory:

#1 Adonis power/style penetrates Kovalev defenses early on & the fight ends in Round 1 via CNS shutdown KO

#2 Adonis power/style penetrates Kovalev defenses early on & degrades Kovalev offensive capabilities, as the fight goes on Kovalev fades into a TKO or late KO victim

#3 Adonis power/style penetrates Kovalev defenses early on & degrades Kovalev offensive capabilities, as the fight goes on Adonis pummels Kovalev into a shutdown UD

Notice all 3 scenarios require an early all out attack to destroy Kovalev before he starts landing his own :think

If Adonis fails to achieve ring superiority early on, he will get beat down like everyone else :smoke

 

Adonis has ONE big shot and it is a very big shot. Kovalev has power in all of his shots; he put Pascal on his **** with a jab. Adonis could catch him flush, sure. But that relies on him not being battered at that point

 

If anything stevensons power is completely overrated due to the dawson KO.

 

Stevenson is getting old, he's 38, he slowed down a little bit. Stevenson has a chance to ko him in first 4, maybe 6 rounds, after 6 Krusher will take over.

 

I'll take Kovalev who hits as hard, is a better technician, and younger.

 

Kovalev steam rollers him. I can't get excited for this fight

 

fact is both have tremendous power and neither have a great chin, its whoever lands their bombs first will win

 

He will always have a chance because of his left, but it's more likely that Kovalev closes it within the distance.

 

Stevenson has two punches;

Straight left to the body
Straight left to the head

Kovalev has a full ****nal.

Sometimes things get funny when guys fight akward southpaws though, but Stevenson needs to hire someone to teach him to use his right hand or he's dead.

He's on a much higher level than Pascal though, tougher, better stamina and much smarter.

 

Ive said it before stevenson is dangerous and left hand destroyer but he gasses alot, and relies on the samething

 

Let's us not forget the Fonfara match..Stevenson has a punchers chance but the Krusher is the better boxer

 

It could happen but I doubt it. Kovalev is the more rounded fighter and has more than enough power to KO Stevenson as well.

 

No. He couldn't KO tiny Sakio.
