Bernard Hopkins vs Adonis Stevenson

[Mr. Philadel]

the first 4 rounds will be the only danger BHop should be faced with....once he gets the range and angles, he'll set up shop and proceed to teaching that mother****er the ABC's of the science....but those first 12 minutes of class will be some "proceed with CAUTION" type moments but like they say, class shows over time so I expect BHop to outclass, outbox, and even out brawl him on the inside if it gets gully....don't think the old head is stopping anybody ever again so I'll take the "BHop Special" to go....BHop by UD

100% Hopkins will knock Stevenson down multiple times.

Stevenson won't start fast vs Hopkins, he will try to pace, Hopkins will come out fast IMHO,

After tonight, does your opinion change? Superman didn't quite look like Superman. Hopkins licking his chops

What do you mean didn't look Super? He won almost every round, I gave Fonfara 2 rounds at best, possibly 3. Stevenson has added a sweet counter right hand and his body work was terrific. He damaged his power hand, the left and yet still carried on punching, out punching, out landing and out boxing his opponent, who we shouldn't believe is a world ranked LHW, with victories over the likes of Campillo and Karpency.

In fact, I was more improved with Stevenson's technical ability last night than his power punching displays against Dawson and Bellew. It was a but like the Cloud fight, complete domination, from start to finish.

Stevenson may not hit as hard as Kovalev but he is a far superior boxer. Hopkins has the cunning to upset either man though, but can he? I can't say just yet.

100% Hopkins will knock Stevenson down multiple times.

You don't even believe that, do you?? When was the last time Hopkins dropped any of his opponents multiple times??

I would love to see this match-up and I pick Stevenson to be victorious.

I do really believe it. Stevenson tenses up when he throws. Hopkins is great at counters and gauging range .

[Grimmer]

Depends if 49 year old Hopkins can take those body shots.

After all Stevenson is a much bigger puncher than Dawson, Murat and Shumenov.

I said he didn't look like Superman. To me, he looked vulnerable at times, he got caught with a lot of right hands and even hurt and knocked down. Good win yes, but Superman status, no.

I could see both fighters hitting the canvas multiple times with Hopkins coming out on top SD or MD.

Hopkins may not take clean shots to the body but when Adonis hits , even if the shot is blocked, BHops' whole body will feel it.

B-Hop even at his age now I think can take Stevenson into deep waters, get him to use that Stamina which he doesn't seem to have much off and outwork him

I think B-Hop can squeeze out the decision or he schools Stevenson he gets Robbed like the first Pascal Fight
