Comments Thread For: Critics turn on 'Superman' Stevenson with lightning speed

[jaded]

Not sure if the author has noticed, but Stevenson's defence is very poor.

Something British posters pointed out after the Bellew fight as we were naturally pulling for Bellew, was that when Tony actually landed a couple of clean shots Adonis did not take them well at all, even looked stunned for a bit.

He's wide open to the right hand and when it lands his legs do a shuffle. He's a KO waiting to happen, in fact, it has already happened, as early as round 2 v Boone.

Good fighter, had a great year in 2013 but Superman he ain't.

He has NO defense. Fonfara was supposed to make him look good. He would get schooled by an almost 50 year old Hopkins.

This article makes it seem like Superduck went from "Mr Popular" to "Most Hated" just because he struggled against Fanfara, but's that's wrong.
He was never popular to begin with, because of his history, and he became "Most Hated" when he signed with Haymon and ducked out of the fight everyone wanted to see.
Looking bad against a guy hand-picked to make him look good just gives the haters - and I guess I'm one of them now - something to gloat about.

I'm just her to watch the eastern-block fanboys/Adonis haters going mad.

He dominated most of the fight.

the pimp can only throw lefts he has no right hand. he was hurl 500 times more then fonfara was. the feather fisted fonfara hurt him bad when he knocked him down and at the end of the fight he could not stand up had to be held up by his corner. it seemed fonfara was paid not to finish him being everytime he hit him with a combo he stepped back and waited for the pimp to hit him. even my girlfriend who knows nothing pointed that out

I was impressed with Stevenson. Kovalev won't be able to handle that speed and athleticism. I see Kovalev getting knocked out.

Keep hoping and dreaming.

you're only as good as your last fight. that is the nature of the sport. i used to think he could steam roll ward, but nah.

kovalev would dust him though.

People didn't turn on Stevenson after this fight. They turned on him when he ducked Kovalev.

Ok Mr Haymon, so why won't you let him fight Krusher then?
