Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson-Thomas Williams, Alvarez-Dawson in Play

[LouIE G]

Williams is going to get sparked. His sloppiness will bite him in the ass.

[Eff Pandas]

Williams went into 2 50-50 fights at 175 and got 2 KOs. No issue with that being rewarded.

Yea honestly can't hate Williams side of this. I do still feel like Stevenson should be doing bigger things. He's done f#ck all for way too long at this point. Fair enough if there are issues with fighting Kovalev, but come on there are a ton of solid 175lbers on the PBC/Haymon side. Again no offense to Williams, he deserves something bigger & who's turning down a title shot. No one.

[BOXEO _]

I'd rather see Williams rematch Rodriguez, that was a crap stoppage.

Rooting for Williams to KO this coward Stevenson! Stevenson could have fought Alvarez or Fonfara

[daggum]

they have completely ran out of options. they are now trying to build to a stevenson-alvarez fight lol.

[daggum]

A fighter actually fighting his mandatory.
No surprise you're too dumb to understand that

stevenson is actually doing the exact opposite thing that ggg did. ggg tried to fight top fighters as his first option like canelo and saunders but had to settle for his mandatory who was crappy. stevenson could fight his mandatory who is a good solid fighter but instead he's choosing as his first option a crappy fighter.

lol this a typical GYM move. Instead of putting a better fight together with Alvarez and Stevenson. They give two tailor made matchups for their two champions. Dawson shouldn't even be close to fighting for a title, even if it is an interim belt. Thomas Williams is 3 fights away from quitting against Campillo and he has a horrendous defense being rocked and dropped in several fights. He's set up to get viciously KOed here.

It's funny how GYM has Beterbiev, Stevenson and Alvarez but never thinks about putting any of them against one another.

Why do that, when Kovalev is still out there; though I think Ward beats him, there are three other belts available.

Why canibalize a division when there's no need to? With Stevenson fighting 2-3 times a year, and Beterbiev still fit to fight 3-4 times a year, GYM could soon be in position where they're staging 5-7 massive events in Montreal with just their light heavyweights.

Stevenson is basically irrelevant now, so I don't even care who he fights anymore. As for the matchup, and Williams...Sometimes with the PBC you have to jettison everything you know about a fighter and his record before he signed with PBC. You have to start at the point at which they started with PBC. Sort of like a new record once you enter the UFC. I have to treat it like that in order for it to make any sense to me.

So hey he got a nice KO on primetime TV- it made Top 10 of the week, and Top 10 of the month on ESPN. For people who saw that fight and are wondering what merits moving up in the PBC ranks, it might make perfect sense that he now he will now progress to fighting the PBC champ..fine by me, I;ll probably root for him too

[richardt]

I hope Dawson can make a good showing.....but I wish he hadn't dropped my friend Ice John Scully because Ice was his trainer when he had his most impressive win in his entire career over Hopkins.

I'll be watching that card
