Did Stevenson do anything well?

[Weebler I]

I like Kovalev but his defense is horrible. His great offense has let him get away with it upto now.

Isn't that the same as Stevenson? that's why we wanted to see the fight, guaranteed KO finish.

Why should Stevenson get a tremendous amount of praise for a cherry pick gone wrong?

He shouldn't for that performance-- With that being said, it's less that it 'went wrong', and more that it didn't go 'right enough'. I gave Fonfara 7-9 and 12 with a KD, but Adonis owned the first 6, battled back in 10 and 11 when it would have been easy to get frustrated, knocked his guy down twice, and hurt him a bunch of times. It's not like the fight was in doubt when the bell rang.

he found the left hand to the body.

he also found his second wind. a schlub gets stopped after getting dropped like that. stevenson was totally gassed. credit the hard sparring and experience he gets in kronk for his survival.


fonfara isn't a bad fighter. stevenson isn't anybody to write home about historically, but he's a good fighter. every division in boxing would be better off with a guy like stevenson in the top 5.


he's a southpaw, he can box, and he can punch. now we know he's got big balls.


i thought that was a terrific fight. fonfara is f#cking tough. that guy would be a real handful if he were more talented.
