Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson To Face Tommy Karpency on Sept. 11

[Najuk]

Weak! Tired of Stevenson, Quillin and these other guys who are HIDING behind Haymon Power...Grow A Pair and TEST YOURSELF! WTF is Stevenson excuse, Haymon has every other Light Heavyweight fighter so don't tell it is no competition

Fight Fonfara Again! Stop blaming Haymon, PBC and everybody else BESIDES THE FIGHTERS! Your "Adviser" don't tell you what to do and who the fight, you are give options and have a say in who you fight next. Stevenson and Quillin and guys like that seems to not be confident in their abilities so they keep taking soft balls. What Haymon does need to stop doing is stop giving them TV Time if they're not going to fight THE BEST!

ok but why most of Haymon's fighters like Quillin, Stevenson, Santa Cruz, Wilder look like they dont want to fight strong competition? why didnt Haymon sign Klichko(takes on every challenger),Kovalev , Ward, or other brave boxers wich arent araid to lose?
in other words why does it look like boxers sign him to get his protection from other dangerous boxer?

Stevenson is ducking kovalev again!

How can you run away from something that's not even close to happen ?

Guys this is a step up. Stevenson's last opponent was rated #16 at 168 by boxrec. Karpency is rated #16 at 175.

I'm sure Karpency didn't show up to lose against Nathan friggin Cleverly either, yet he got wiped out

Take that, along with the fact that Dawson looked awful from the start of that fight, I think the picture becomes a lot clearer

I'm pleased Karpency has a fan on this board though

no lookin awful is how cloud showed up vs beterbiev..
dawson was in shape the jab was stiff his punches were short he had head movment..he just meet a better fighter...sometimes i takes time for fighters..image you're fighter and u dotn get telivised dates..that is not motivating..this is karpency's back to back year on showtime..check out his fight with fonfara very close fight and he'd been knocked down eary adn the cards were still identically close..the guy has a boxing iq..but it is hard to state motivated when u're just a some kid from penn that no one cares about..

you're not the #1 Swift hater...I know that for a fact....Cuba owns that title bro

[Cuban Linx]

How many more of these crappy voluntary defenses is he going to keep making?

At least Sergey had an excuse for fighting Nadjib. What's Adonis' excuse for his last 3 opponents, Sukhotsky, Bika and Karpency.... Gimme a break!

But hey, the one thing Tommy and Adonis have in common is they both beat Chad Dawson... lol I mean that's an interesting storyline, right?

Quillin just fought Lee
Wilder just won belt in a weak division that is building some buzz right now.
Santa cruz is fighting Mares
Stevenson, though hes fighting Karpency, which i dont see as that bad, has accepted Kovs offer and is waiting for response. Like we all are.

[Hougigo]

Karpency deserves a good fight after the Dawson win.... but that's wayyyyy too much.

[Real Talk85]

Love the bums complaining about Adonis. Stop comparing him to Krusher who has done Jack ****. If it were not for a geriatric Hopkins he wouldn't have those belts. People acting like much better versions of Hopkins haven't been beaten by other fighters at light heavy.

Adonis Damn near ran the gauntlet to get to where he is and Krusher had to beat who? There is a reason the Russian bum killer bailed on the last purse bid. Now they are going after BB? Please he is grand standing. Adonis can freeze him out because he brings the money in. He also has the resume and potential fights to leave Krusher in the dust.

[Scipio2009]

His last 3 fights will have been against Sukhotsky, Bika and Karpency...wow.

Would hold my breath until Duva actually makes that Beterbiev offer that she trumpeted.

Kovalev is on the verge of fighting Mohammedi, a showcase fight in Russia, and then hoping against hope that Duva's happy to feed Chilemba to him (or hope that Ward comes to his rescue).
