There is NO amount of $$$ HBO can pay Stevenson to let the whole entire world see him defecate and urinate all over himself why he lays on the ground doing the liakovich all the way to the ICU.deal:deal
As for a Froch fight.....why???? Froch is a 168lb fighter who comes in around 173 Stevenson came in at 190. If Stevenson wants to meet Froch at 168, then he'll be exposed by Froch just as Dawson was by Ward.:deal
There was no fear whatsoever He wants to fight a more known opponent.... thats the beginning and end of it.
Yep. He's 36 and looking for a money fight. He rightly views Kovalev as, not just a risk, but a huge risk that can destroy his potential future earnings. Can't blame him for wanting to make the most he can while he can. That said, I have a feeling Kovalev-Stevenson will happen next anyway, and that HBO will make that as appealing as they can. Don't think fights with Froch or Hopkins are in the cards for Adonis, although I suppose the winner of Bute-Pascal might well be.
The actual dialogue doesn't say Adonis necessarily fears Krusher but man, the way he said it, as well as the stuttering, surely implied it.
he's a professional athlete. he don't fear another boxer. he's 36 and wants to get his pockets fatter. nothing more.
You mean doing his job by asking the questions people want asked? he was given his job and he got the answers that I am sure he was told to get. You understand his job, right?
Bull****, The man just finished a having a great night and was feeling good. Instead of Max simply asking what's next for you champ and letting him have his moment, he was up sweating and pressing him like he was paying the man bills. That's overbearing and total bull****. It's a time and place for everything and that was neither the time or place.
I think nobody wants a fight with Kovalev.:yep Stevenson is 36. If he wants to fight Segei , he must do it now.
It was definitely the time and the place. HBO is paying good money to these guys. They put them on the same card so people can talk about the fight and build excitement. Everybody and their grandma knows that they were setting these guys up for a fight. The whole purpose of this card was to promote a Kovalev/Stevenson fight.
