Adonis Stevenson will easily defeat Don George

Freedom.

Stevenson has some genuine talent, while Don George is just a clubfighter as far as I can see.

What do you think?

George has some pop but very little defense.

He may go for it and get ko'ed quick.

He is a come forward type of guy but can't always get off.
Probably his only chance.

He was somewhat exposed already by Francisco Sierra, himself a wild slugger, so Stevenson winning isn't going to really propel him to greater heights.

Time to step up the comp, if Stevenson's team can get a good fight.

He's ready or should be.

Stevenson has a quetionable chin, I mean he was stopped by Darnell Boone. But damn he has some pop and can bang, and I think he'll KO George rather easily. I'd love to see him fight Pavlik, Rodriguez, Oothuizen, Bika, Dirrell, anyone like that after this.

He'll be Carl Froch's mandatory after he wins.

That won't happen though. I think Froch will fight the Bute rematch or Kessler after his next fight. I don't see why Stevenson and Rodriguez don't fight in like a final IBF eliminator. But I'm pretty sure Rodriguez turned down fighting Stevenson this fall.

Froch gains nothing by fighting him.

Froch earned his way up the chain so he can call the shots now.

Titles be damned.

With a questionable chin, losing to a clubfighter and at what 35 years old?? There is no real upside. 25 years old, yes but not 35.

This could end up just like the fight George had with White where he was favored to get beaten by the unbeaten then White with a high ko% after George just lost to Sierra but George just caught him early and stopped him. George isn't great or that good really but he does have some power so it could be a fun fight that doesn't last very long for either guy.

This one doesn't look to come down to talent, it comes down to who lands the biggest bombs first or more often. Thats what is going to decide the fight. They are both about the same. Both hit hard, one is older than the hills and the other is sloppier. Who gets there first and more often. Slight favor towards Stevenson.
