Boxing Off-Topic

Jacobs looked the most polished he's ever looked. Seems he's put alot of work into the "little things". He did an incredible job at establishing distance and alot of catch and counter on the inside. I find him impossible to cheer against...he's one of Boxing's good guys

Thanks, I would have missed it.

Well, I guess Krusher isn't shot afterall.

In the opening few seconds Shabranskyy actually seemed to stun Kovalev with a hard left-jab. I thought to myself "Self, Kovalev may be shot".

I'm guessing the next fight for Krusher will be Barrera, seeing as he fought on this undercard?

I hear Stevenson is still pursuing this fight.
If I'm Kovalev, I ignore Stevenson. Adonis couldn't have run away from this fight fast enough years ago. Let him choke on his obscurity and ride into retirement.

The fight I'd love to see is Kovalev-Beterbiev.

Maybe, but Bivol-Barrera appears to be looming.

You mean Chickenson actually pursued a fight with Kovalez?

Me too, but I'd like to see Beterbiev get a fight or two in with Barrera, Bivol, Gvozdyk, or Badou Jack. Notice I left out Stevenson.

I had read on a site that Stevenson has finally decided he wants to fight Kovalev.
I'm sure he's realized that his stock is basically useless and Krusher is the only big money fight he can get now.

Kovalez just said in very specific terms that he wants to fight Barrera March 3rd at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Kathy Duva promotes both fighters so I'm sure she was in Sergey's ear.

The belt is Stevenson's only leverage. He is probably the fourth- or fifth-best fighter at 175. He's a complete fraud. Nobody outside of Haiti or Montreal cares about him or his career one bit.

Chickenson. Damn straight.
