[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The postponed super-middleweight eliminator bout between Adonis Stevenson and Donovan George wasn’t postponed for too long — what was once scheduled for Aug. 11 in Montreal will now be taking place Aug. 17 in Tulsa, Okla., according to Stevenson’s promoter, Yvon Michel, who posted that news on his Facebook page on Wednesday night.

wow

nice fight to end a decent fnf season.

[DeadLikeMe]

I don't get why we have "seasons" of FNF...its not like there is better sports on Friday night unless MAC football is your cup of tea...

[Mick Higgs]

As a Canadian Stephenson should be challenging Commonwealth champion George Groves.

Stevenson is old. 34?

correct o the age...my only beef on FNF is the guys won't b getting the same $$ as if it was on the Pascal undercard, quite a fe K less, ESPN is cheap when it comes to the boxers...

[TheThirdEye]

Adonis is the best 168Lbs boxer in the entire division, he got blocked a lot of time because of his past; I doubt he'll let the age factor stop him to reach his gold.
He was suppose to be champion a long time ago, he will not miss his train, reason why he'll kick everybody who's standing on his way.

Some should question themselves on the true reasons why Dibella punked out, why Degale punked out, why Kessler punked out, why Pavlik punked out, why Bika says YES and afterwords NO, why (talk to talk) Dirrell says YES and afterwords says NO...
Why refusing a 34 years old under 20 fights boxer, if he is the key to have a mandatory fight against Froch for the IBF...

- I'll give you the answer: "They were all afraid of taking a Brutal KO, ALL"

Oh I forgot, Froch don't know what to do, to avoid Adonis; Believe that, everyboxers in his division are afraid of him, but not courageous George.

Don Georgeopoulos deserve that credit, but he'll loose that fight...

Because that is all he is. What do any of the fighters you named have to gain from fighting him? NOTHING. They can land a fight against Froch without having to fight an eliminator.

Did you ask yourself WHY Froch didn't mention Adonis Stevenson in his choice of opponents for the month of November; Did you ?

► Did Froch ask for Rodriguez: NO, he needs to be a mandatory contender. Rodriguez got some skills...
► Oosthuizen is less popular than Adonis, and a fight between Froch and Osthuizen would generate less money than Froch VS Stevenson.
- Oosthuizen is purely technical, he's not a power puncher; Good "hometown event" matching for Froch...

2 Things:

1) Froch need money for a good retirement, before leaving his Belt to Adonis.

2) Froch feels the need to stay active, before facing big southpole Adonis.

- Froch hopes the IBF does an exemption on "March 23, 2013" to accept a revenge fight between him and Lucian Bute, instead of facing Superman in a mandatory bout.
- But the IBF Board of directors are not dumbs, Adonis VS Froch will definitely happend, if Oosthuizen loose this opportunity...

► Froch didn't ask for UK native James Degale: NO, ambidextrous Degale needs to be a mandatory contender. For now, Degale would be considered as a local opposition...
► Kessler is more popular than Adonis, but Kessler is physically burned, which is why Froch believed he could defeat him.
► Pavlik is a good fighter, not too mobile, with a bad record of alcool addiction, with a weak liver. But Pavlik hits hard and have a respected enough name; thus he could be a good opponent, but we all know Froch would win the war against him...
► Froch didn't ask for Sakio Bika: NO, he needs to be a mandatory contender.
Bika has a rock skull with an excessive stamina; Froch would have won this bout, but would have been drained of his energy..
► Froch didn't ask for Andre Dirrell: NO, he needs to be a mandatory contender; "Talk to talk" Dirrell is way too risky for the Cobra. I believe Dirrell has the receipy to neutralize the venom, SSspeeed...

Donovan Georgopoulos didn't punked out, he's not a coward, like the entire list of names above; but Adonis is a winner...

*Your comment:
They can land a fight against Froch without "bla bla bla":
- Who? (They) can land a fight, Who?

+ Not Rodriguez, not Degale, not Bika and even less Dirrell...

- So What non-sense are you saying ?
Look, Froch is also afraid of Adonis, but you and I, know; he and the others will never admit it.

- Most boxing fans refuse to admit how terrorising this new Player (Adonis) is, comming from no F****** where, he's intimidating the entire division, breaking people's vision on their favorite boxer, changing the entire game... He is just Faster...

Is it so hard to understand...

[TheThirdEye]

The entire division FEAR Adonis Stevenson.
But some believe otherwise...

1) Open a new tab, and go to YouTube
2) Copy/Paste: adonis stevenson 2005
3) Select the 1st video, and you'll see how Stevenson dominates Edwin Rodriguez back in the days...

*You'll probably understand WHY? Edwin is avoiding dangerous Adonis now...
- Now you know...

Adonis Stevenson is Faster...
