      I don't wanna get excited yet, but yes Hopkins decisions this guy easily. He'll frustrate him for 12 full rounds. We may see the legend make history once again.

        Even before tonight I said Hopkins would school this fraud.

          I think Stevenson wins. I don't think he took this fight serious and almost paid the price for it.

            This is exactly what I think, Stevenson will be in much better form for a Hopkins fight. This should also be a good learning lesson for him that he can't just go in there expecting to get a KO every night to please the crowd.


            It would be interesting to see what happens when/if Hopkins neutralizes that left hand. However, Hopkins does struggle with very athletic guys like Stevenson so I think Adonis wins a UD.

              Please vote.

              I'd say Adonis is as athletic as Pascal.

                I still think Stevenson takes it. Neither Kovalev nor Stevenson looked great in their most recent fights, but that doesn't mean they aren't the fighters we thought they were. It just means we were underrating the other guys in the division.

                Fonfora is a big, tough, awkward guy. There are very few guys in the division that would take the punishment he did tonight and keep coming. Also, I don't believe the knockdown means Stevenson has a crap chin. If you look at the replay, it was a very good punch that landed square on the chin.

                  I think you have to love B-Hops chances because Stevenson is not a volume guy at all and he loads up on his shots thus making him easier to read and tire him out faster. Plus Stevenson's distinct lack of defense has to appeal to B-Hop.

                  The one issue I think Stevenson presents is body punching, if he can get at B-Hop's body I think that will have an effect on him.
