Meh fight. Chilemba is kinda tough tho. But it should be an easy fight for Kovalev.

Can't really blame kov he tried to get in with the LHW lineal champ. This is still a shtt fight he should have offered the fight do Fonfara or Alvarez

Alvarez is with main events no? i dont think they want to feed their own fighter to Kovalev...

Fonfara wants big check if the fight happens in USA...Imagine what he would demand if they fight in Russia lol

who else would he fight?

ward's not ready and kovalev has beaten everyone else of importance at 175 (no i don't consider stevenson important in that division)

chilemba is an alright fight

nice fight! war kovalev!!!

This version is from E.S.P.N:
The fight will be televised live in Russia on Channel One but American television coverage has been not finalized. Although Kovalev has a contract with HBO, there is no guarantee the network will be able to put on the fight - which will take place on a Monday afternoon United States times.
"Broadcasting sports events live from certain regions of Russia can be a challenge," Duva said. "HBO Sports is exploring carrying the event in the U.S. It's too early to be definitive. We know they love Sergey."

.....

Humm! What about their EXCLUSIVITY contract, instead Duva is saying HBO love Sergey; Excuse my English, but WTF. If it's the case, Kovalev vs Stevenson could & can be setup any day in Russia or else, with more money for both on the table;

Exclusivity rights, yeah right...

She just explained, exclusivity doesn't extend to Monday afternoon fights overseas.
