Comments Thread For: Eleider Alvarez vs. Jean Pascal Eyed For Stevenson-Fonfara

Not me. Though it was a decent win.



Why do you have to add inches on Fonfora?


What are you basing this on? He got stopped in 1 round, it wasn't a close fight. You get stopped in 1 round by someone, you're not beating them "easy" in a rematch.

His own delusion. He makes up **** to try and justify whatever he says as if it was facts.

Fonfora is 6'2", Stevenson is 5'11". You added/subtracted an inch from each fighter to make it 5 inches, doesn't mean it's true.

This post here is the epitome of reaching,folks.

Have you guys not seen this guy's post history? Don't even waste your time trying to argue with him. He asks for facts then when you bring facts to him he disappears. Not to mention Stevenson can't do no wrong in his eyes.

It's not even worth it. He's a weirdo.

Trust me he'll take it... He needs the $$$$

Heard him on radio like Wednesday saying there were talks, but couldn't go further... I think Alvarez is reachable for any top 15... A prime Pascal would have made jelly out of the Columbian... Now I see it 50/50 ...

As for Fonfara, he wasn't even close to winning the first fight... Won't be any closer this time ...

he wasnt close to winning but he put up a fight that made ppl want it again and he had some solid wins afterwards..

pascal is not 50-50 at this point..hell it was 50-50 at pascals peak...he struggled with boxers

[-Kev-]

last i saw fonfara was 6'3 stevenson was 5'10-11
i went off that..if u have more accurated numbers w/e

he's taller younger and the natrual 175lber..and the guy who has been active..

and the guy that stopped adonis' ko streak

and the guy that floored adonis..

A level fight..just go see wat boxrec rankings have to say

Going from 3 inches to 5 is a big deal. If you give 5'8" Mayweather 2 more inches, he'd be 5'10" and he'd have had a much better run at 154 and maybe even a much shorter run at 130, or not even fight at it at all. Roman Gonzalez would go from a child height to finally an average female height at 5'5". GGG would be 6' tall. So yeah, that's not something to just lie about, that's an important physical attribute or disadvantage. If you give some people 2 more inches they could probably dunk a basketball.

numbers on a boxrec arent always concrete..he has a great functional height advantage and we saw it the first fight..i've seen conflicting numbers on both..
ive seen 6'3 for fonfara several times

and i remember fonfara having a whole nose and above over stevenson at the first presser..and fonfara was looking down in the face off..
i wouldnt doubt the number is closer to 5 than it is 3

So you're basically putting Alvarez in the same class as Froch, Dawson, Hopkins when Pascal met them... 10-4 ... Hell, I'm not even sure Alvarez could go through Yunieski Gonzalez...

Stevenson keeps ducking. Alvarez became mandatory a year+ ago, and since then has fought better competition than Stevenson. What an embarrassment to the sport.

style wise im saying he would have struggled alvarez is a pure boxer..pascal is just an athlete that gasses our and loses more form than the little that he already came with

Better Translation:

- Stevenson: We did an offer to Jean Pascal, 30%.
But Pascal had another offer, like Hopkins had: Of whom?

- Pascal: Kovalev

- Stevenson: Exactly, of Kovalev.
Humm, what did you choose?

- Pascal: Like you choose not to fight me, I choose Kovalev

- Stevenson: Come on Pascal you were my main mandatory and we offered you 30% Pascal. Number 1 contenders get 30%. Me, I'm a world champion, I didn't make a lot of money becoming champion, because I wanted to become champion, I didn't care about the purse cut: (back then).
But you decided to choose Kovalev, because he gave you more money, right?

- Pascal: Yes!

- Stevenson: So like Hopkins, he got an offer by Kovalev, and fought Kovalev. Thus he thought he would win the Belts.
By the way, it would have been fun if you'd have those belts, because by coming back to me, your leverage of negotiation would be stronger. I wouldn't be able to propose you 30%. But Pascal lost against Kovalev, he got a rematch, and he lost again.
In boxing it happens, like me, I lost too & I'm a world champion now, it's nothing.
But now that he lost twice, he wanted to fight me right after.
I find it illogic, so I said: put yourself back in the ranking, clim back up to the mandatory position, and we will fight.

- Pascal: Will you still give me 30%? (laughts)...

- Stevenson: But it's number 1 contender, that's the regular cut, 30% as usual for mandatories and 70% for the champ. Me, I didn't even get 30% when I fought for the world title.
Everybody I'll fight will get the same cut, 30%. So, the beef is fix Pascal? Is it fix?

- Pascal: Absolutely

- Stevenson: (kiss), I love Pascal (laughts)...
