for those who think stevenson can beat kovalev here's an excerpt of what darnell boone had to say
Interviewer:Who would win between the pair in your opinion?
DB) I’d go with Kovalev. Even when I got the better of the first fight he was still strong. With Stevenson he just tries to set up his left hand but Kovalev has power in both hands and a little more boxing about his work.
