.........and karim is @TheLukieBaby 's boy too

Damn that's cold.

Personally I think Karim's advantage was being wild and unorthodox, working with Virgil may have made him more traditional and predictable, at this level he reminds me of Sakio Bika

Please show where I said that. All I said was he is talking shyt on Twitter, and doing all this popping off about Kovalev AFTER he signed with Showtime this week. None of that bravado came out until then. Money wise (and pretty much just to fight Hopkins, it a damn good move). Other then that, its a bytch move.

Superman popped off AFTER Kovalev just called dude a piece of shyt on HBO

Smh, ok man. I get you.

Kovalev said that purely because he ran to Showtime. Neither of them said anything about each other before tonight. The first salvo was Superman jumping networks when people have been talking about this fight being setup for about a year, and after this Kovalev fight tonight, things were good for the summer.

Oh well, now Kovalev really doesnt have any good options that A) actually want to fight him, and B) has a name. Tough spot for dude.

What is Stevenson gonna do at 175 on Showtime after Hopkins (if he even gets that fight)?

Nobody knows how many fights stevenson deal is with showtime, it's a multi fight deal though im guessing 3-4. stevenson fighting the polish guy, the winner of shumenov-hopkins thats 2 fights by the end of the year. say what you want to say but dawson will still be in the mix he, just signed with haymon recently.


I had no idea that pascal was ranked #3 by the wbo at 175. I really think Kovalev need this fight and being that roy was in now in the corner of pascal he looks like he wants it for pascal too. Hbo needs to get Yvon on board for this one. I also think Froch is a wildcard though.

Kovalev has been calling out Adonis for the longest time. Adonis has been quiet until now when there is no possibility of a fight.

Stevenson will be 37 in September N he been wanting Hopkins N to cash out... you wanna be mad at somebody be mad at HBO being cheap N fukking dumb for not having shyt on paper

Who tf has Kovalev fought?? Superman got the chance to face Hopkins an atg for the undisputed 175 N y'all wanna cry cuz he ain't fighting Kovalev for peanuts

As far as Adonis talking shyt tonight.. if you cant figure out why its OK to talk trash in defense of yourself Ionno wtf to tell you...the muhfukker stays quiet N he's scary he talks back N he's hiding behind Showtime

Yeah, I havent seen what Stevenson's Showtime deal is yet either, but I did read that even before they went to Showtime, they refused to sign a bout agreement to face Kovalev after this Polish dude in May, even if they offered "Superman" the 40% increase. That spells bytchmade to me.

Stevenson should be fighting Pascal in May and not the Polish dude. You thrash Cloud and Dawson, keep moving up the ladder. All boxers' time at the top can be short. Get all the big fights you can.

Ok then, who tf has Andrzej Fonfera fought? sounds like you would rather see Stevenson fight this Polish no-hoper instead of someone with a pulse like Kovalev. I love the first thing people say is "who have they fought, etc, etc? If you keep switching networks, and no one will sign contracts to fight the guy, how is he suppose to get big fights? What am I missing?

Stevenson's fight with the Polish guy been set for months now...why are we crying about this now??

Stevenson jus had big fights on HBO N now he's on Showtime.. N goin have a huge fight with Hopkins for the UNDISPUTED 175 championship

Seems to me the only fighter having problems making "big fights" is Kovalev

Fonfara is coming off of a KO victory over Campillo, same win that put Kovalev on the map
