Comments Thread For: Stevenson-Fonfara Rematch Looms For May/June, Says Michel

I would rather see Fonfara fight Kovalev. But hey can't hate on him getting a payday and trying to win a world title. How he survived them early rounds vs Stevenson i will never know. He looked like a man possessed and nearly turned it around at the end.

If the Fonfara fight doesnt happen ... i guess he can fight another cab driver .... they have more freetime to train with that UBER App!

Funny how people still don't get that the Kovalev / Stevenson fight is out of the fighters hands and is blocked at a higher political level .. Anyway, Adonis has to make 2016 a big year after a very bad showing in 2015... He has to make the headlines again and keep the hope alive by meeting a strong opposition so that a Kovalev fight will again be the only fight that counts at LHW... The clock is ticking for him, and Fonfara is a step forward... Fingers crossed..

Give Stevenson credit for trying to regain the boxing public's respect with a rematch with Fonfara. After turning down fights with Hopkins, Pascal and Kovalev, Stevenson has seen the light. I predict that he will follow the Fonfara fight with another fight designed to regain the respect of the public against a former champion -- either Roy Jones or Chad Dawson. After the Dawson/Jones fight, Stevenson will return to his usual diet of cab drivers.

I've got Fonfara. Stevenson is there for the taking.

YEP!!! I'm with you 100 doe

Stevenson by KO

I like Fonfara, but I don't see how he wins this unless Adonis has slipped way more than I think he has.

This is a better fight than Kovalev/Pascal 2, because Fonfara has had a good win or 2 since the first fight. But, it's still a rematch of a fight that had a clear winner (the cards were 116-109 and 2 of 115-110). Adonis is a heavy favorite.

If i remember Adonisd hurt his hand during the fight, i do think he will KO Fonfara

This is going to be better then the first fight IMO. Another good even match to look forward to.

I disagree completely. This will be a onesided whitewash in Stevenson's favor. Stevenson will just box and let the knockout come to him instead of going ape **** on Fonfara and then burning out in the latter rounds.

His mistake was simple last time around, he burned himself out by rabidly chasing the knockout in the early rounds. All he has to do now is to box and he will win an easy UD with one or two knockdowns along the way. It was a simple mistake that can be easily rectified.

Fonfara can't outbox Stevenson, aint gonna happen. Worst case scenario for Fonfara is that he gets desperate for a knockout himself late in the fight when it becomes clear he is going to lose a UD and walks into a counter left that puts his lights out.

[Sledgeweather17]

Stevenson always goes for the KO, he just couldn't do it against Fonfara. As for Fonfara lacking power, any fighter who can drop another fighter has power. Notice Stevenson on his bicycle after getting dropped and tagged in round 9. You don't run from someone lacking power.

ONLY reason Fonfara was able to knock Stevenson down is cause he was tired and burned out, any fool from the back of the arena could have seen how tired and sluggish Stevenson became later in the fight. It had nothing to do with Fonfara's power.

Stevenson won't make the same mistake because it's a simple mistake to rectify.
