Give them each another fight to build this one up a bit more. I think they're both improving a little with how their setting up their power shots. Have them both on the Canelo/Pacquiao undercard this September.
Stevens/Johnson 2 and Lemieux/Soro maybe? You can throw Kurtsidze with one of them too.

I think there's a good chance we see Lemieux/Johnson since they're both with GB. I don't think we'll ever see Stevens/Khurtsidze, which is a shame because that's the only fight Stevens could take where he'd have a height advantage. Khurtsidze is out of Stevens' old gym and uses some of his old trainers. They wouldn't do Curtis dirty like that. I have a feeling Khurtsidze is going to sit on his WBO #1 and see if he can't force a BJS fight.

So Stevens/Soro then. Soro would probably give him the same issues that N'Dam did, so at least we'd see if Stevens has actually improved.

Either Soro's a headcase or he's got manager issues. The guy's always turning down fights, some of which are very winnable title fights. Can't see him agreeing to fight Curtis for low money and no belt.
Stevens got the Teixeira fight due to his friendship with Canelo. It'd be nice to see ME give him another push.
Opening the HBO Pay-Per-View broadcast, Brooklyn bomber Curtis "Cerebral Assassin" Stevens (28-5, 21 KOs) gave Brazilian Patrick Teixeira (26-1, 22 KOs) his first career loss to win the vacant WBC De Las Americas Middleweight Title. Both fighters began the fight with high intensity, exchanging blows during the first round. At the beginning of the second round, Stevens landed shocking hits to Teixeira, knocking the wind out of him. In a right jab to the face sending Teixeira to the mat with one minute and four seconds left on the clock, "The Cerebral Assassin" got the knockout, causing the crowd to go wild.
