[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson (24-1, 20KOs) has been confirmed to return on December 19th, on Showtime, at the Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec, Canada. As BoxingScene.com previously reported, one of the frontrunners to face him is Russian contender Dmitry Sukhotsky (22-2, 16 KOs). Sukhotsky has never been stopped, with decision losses to Cornelius White and Juergen Braehmer. Stevenson was last in action in December, with a tough twelve round decision victory over Andrzej Fonfara.

Stevenson has really hit the big time since signing with Haymon

he's fighting a guy who lost to White? wow Superman needs to just call it quits. I would respect Bute more than this fight.

I remember the comment he made when he first signed with Haymon - With Al, we're going straight to the bank

Jean Pascal is already the WBC mandatory challenger, with GYM and Interbox both targeting a Spring 2015 showdown in Montreal for the Stevenson-Pascal fight.

Adonis Stevenson takes a solid "stay busy" fight, against an opponent who's supposed to be rugged enough to make for an entertaining fight, and he gets another opportunity to be featured on TV, and in the promotional material that Showtime puts up, to raise his public profile even hire.

Stevenson does what he's supposed to do next year, Hopkins does what he's supposed to do in November, and you've got a massive showdown, with the Barclays Center and the MGM Grand as likely venues, that has massive impact on the sport and gets both parties handsomely paid, regardless of the result of the fight.

What's the issue hear?

Just makes for weak programming. Since Stevenson went Showtime, we've gotten these ESPN caliber fights as headliners: Stevenson Fonfara (for near 2m!), Fonfara vs some dude, Stevenson vs some dude. In a godawful year in boxing, esp on Sho we get more of this crap.

I remember when this guy said everyone was ducking him (Prior to getting a chance at Dawson). The moment he got his chance (Which he took with both hands) he totally did the samething in which he was accusing others of. This is why I don't pay much attention to the "They are all ducking me" that they all throw out. Just wait and see who Keith Thurman starts fighting once he gets his chance too.
