(Stevenson-Kovalev) You Guys Fall 4 The Same Thing Over And Over! (Stevenson-Kovalev)

there are more unknown variables about Kovalev than there are about Adonis.

We know Adonis' flaws. The main one being fatigue, which leads to a very wide defense. We don't know how Kovalev reacts to pressure, adversity etc.

We've seen what happens when a guy can take Adonis' power, he can win boxing.

We dont know what happens when a guy can take Kovalev's power. he could be a 1 trick Pony.

We dont know about Kovalev's chin, his stamina. There's too many unknowns for you all to write a proven champ in Adonis off just like that.

I just don't understand the logic with some people. As if we haven't seen ONE MILLION times in boxing where a guy who was supposed to be "the guy" finally steps up and gets exposed. It's happened so many times. You'd think by now people would stop falling for that ****.

They said that Danny was scared of Matthysse after he KO'd Peterson too. That his body language was "off". That he looked nervous and worried.

We just seen it happen with Matthysse. He looked unbeatable, on the rise. UNFATHOMABLE POWER. Then he fought the top guy in his division which was a step-up for him, then he found out "oh **** this guy can take my punches" then we found out his chin was shaky, then we found out he can give but can't take. then we found out how he reacts to a guy who can take his punches, and found out that he can't just win boxing, he relies on overwhelming his opponents. None of these things were known going into Garcia-Matthysse. Everyone had Matthysse winning that fight going in, and doubted the MORE PROVEN champ. Saying he wouldn't make it past the fifth and other ridiculous **** like that. We didn't know these things about Matthysse, But we know them now.

The same way that we knew more about Danny going in to the Matthysse fight, we would know more about Adonis going into the Kovalev fight. That's all I'm saying. I go with the guy I know more about.

Stop falling in love with power. It's one of the biggest mistakes someone can make as a boxing fan. Because the day they meet someone who can take it? Well what happens? What does history tell you? They LOSE. Not saying he would, but that's what history shows. :smoke

Fonzie Out.

 

What a rebuttal.

 

He's a come forward pressure fighter, with a decent jab, and very good power, who relies on guys not being able to take his power. Little footwork, and 90% of his fight game is designed around his power. He comes forward with no remorse, just like "I'm coming, so stop me". And the second someone says "Okay, I will" we'll see how he holds up

 

I'll be sure to bump the **** out of this thread if they fight and Kovalev gets exposed. Bookmarking now.

 

Exactly. Fonfara put a noble effort. My problem is I don't understand why people always doubt the more proven fighter, and fall in love with power. It's just a mistake that we've seen happen so much in boxing. Not saying Kovalev would lose. But I wouldn't be that surprised to be honest. I've seen this tale plenty of times before.
