    Don't know who this bum is. Checked his records and he seems like a C+ caliber fighter. Very dissapointing choice of opponenets from Stevenson, especially with Kovalev fighting Hopkins. Hopefully, him vs the winner of that fight will happens next.

    I really hope Kovalev gets rid of Hopkins once and for all

    I'm starting to think that Hopkins will win this fight. Kovalev is not really dynamic, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Bernard out maneuver him for a UD

    I have seen Sukhotsky twice, in his losing effort against Brähmer and in defeating Eduard Gutknecht.

    He is a solid all-round type of a fighter, perhaps top-20 in the world or so, so he is not a complete bum but rather a typical stay-busy kind of an opponent for a world class guy. He is one of those guys with some technique, some pop and some speed but he doesn't do anything particularly well.

    He might be able to make Adonis struggle for a moment, but he seems like a guy who chokes a bit when expectations are high. He defeated Gutknecht in style (it was a cut but Sukhotsky was dominating it) but couldn't harm Brähmer much and lost a lopsided decision to White, whom Kovalev trashed easily. Thus I expect Adonis to scare him with his power early on and winning by stoppage somewhere in the middle rounds.

    I am fearing the same. Kovalev is just the type of guy that Hopkins can still out-stink with his great bag of stinky tricks. Hopefully Kovalev is good enough and beats the stink out of him, but that old fucking cockroach might do it once again

    Even if Hopkins doesn't get the win he will use the stink. If he gets in any trouble look for a no contest, exaggerated injury or DQ type of ending. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bernard avoiding getting cleanly knocked out by a prime George Foreman.

    I actually think Kovalev is clever enough and good timing/lack of telegraph will allow him to avoid the Hopkins pattern.

    But I agree, in response to this, Hopkins will start playing the ref, hitting low, etc.

    I'm really hoping Hopkins gets ko'd.

    I don't get what you're trying to say. Stevenson opposition, before this fight, has been pretty good.

    I'm referring to his running away from his deal to face Kovalev, just as Quillen is on the run from Koborev.

    Agreed, the most blatant bit of ducking since Mayweather Vs Pacquiao.

    I think that's ridiculous, since Kovalev was/is still pretty much unproven. After the Hopkins fight, if he still don't fights him, then yes it would be an unexcusable duck job

    Of course it does. You're acting like Kovalev is not even proven enough to be worth Stevenson's while.

    Kovalev would be Steve's best opponent by a country mile, and the scumbag knows it, hence the duckjob.

    Kovalev would batter Stevenson.

    Agreed. But the net result is a duckjob all the same.

    It's not really a duck job sincce Kovalev hasn't proven yet that he's legit, and Stevenson hasn't ''avoided'' him for enough times. I think it's more of a case of building the fight, since Kovalev is pretty much a nobody presently, outsie of the hardcore fans. Stevenson has said he'll face him if they both wins their repective fights, if he doesn't, then we can start sayoing he's ducking him.

    As for the fight, after seeing the mediocre OZ bum setting a left hand trap and flooring Kovalev easilly, I'm pretty confident that Stevenson will KO him without too much problems, as he's pretty much the best in the game at setting these kind of traps, and with his power and Kovalev chin, he wont have to land a lot to end the fight.

    If Stevenson does nut up and fight him, you'll be very surprised.

    Kovalev will just walk him down and beat him up, and there's not much Stevenson will be able to do about it. I think even 50 year old Hopkins will give Kovalev a tougher fight, through sheer negativity and defensive prowess.

    Id say Haysoos of Montreal legitimately has the worst boxing takes on this forum.

    Stevenson seems to be ducking Pascal, but, while I don't think he's really eager to fight Kovalev, he hasn't avoided him. He just went with what was the bigger deal at the time (Showtime) in what was considered the bigger fight (Hopkins). If you blame Stevenson for ducking Kovalev than you've got to blame Hopkins for ducking Stevenson too.

    I don't make much of the knock down scored against kovalev.

    watching it again, you're right, the oz bum did step on his foot, but I think that the flush left hand was more the cause of the kd, than the stepping on the foot.

    Flash knockdown with footstepping, it's not even relevant - Kovvles' chin looks fine.

    JoM is literally the least knowledgeable boxing poster on this board. To find out what the true position on any boxing position is, take what JoM says and reverse it entirely. He is wrong almost every single time.

    says the idiot jingoist that rates a fighter worth by his nationality.

    tell us agains how Benn, Eubank and Calzaghe are ATG.

    BTW, show me when I was wrong. I barely makes any prediction, and the last I made (Maidana giving hell to Floyd befire the first fight) was spot on.
