          Can't outbox him.

          And doesn't throw enough punches to outhustle him. And Cant fight on the inside.
          Follow the blueprint used by Calslappy -- Don't let B-Hop get a moments rest. Smother him, rough him up and out hustle him ... If that's possible.

          If Adonis tries to outbox B-hop that would be a huge mistake.

            Dawsons jab is clearly better than Stevensons

              Stevenson doesnt throw many punches and smothering him would smother his own punching power and also bhop is a way better inside fighter.

                It isn't a multi-fight deal though....so far it's implied that Stevenson is there for the long haul, but they just bid higher for that one fight.

                Now, Stevenson might sign a multi-fight deal before/after Fonfara with Showtime. Most likely after to be absolutely sure in case he loses.

                But I see no reason why he wouldn't put his services up to bids again since the first time was motivated by money. This time HBO will actually put an effort up and he can drive his money up at the same time.

                I'd be surprised if he didn't put his fight up for bid again. Get a good multi-deal and minimum as insurance

                  Bhops too old to withstand Adonis power.

                    Stevenson is an Al Haymon fighter.
                    Hopkins and al haymon are friends.Hopkins thanked haymon in the post fight interview.

                      I say Stevenson defeats Bernard Hopkins by simply outworking and out hustling him. It's just simple arithmetic. One can easily beat him with pure volume punching; Since he prefers fighting at a slow pace and only averages less than 40 punches per round.
