Comments Thread For: Adonis Stevenson vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk Card Coming Together

[Bobby Shaw]

Adonis was a great fighter but he might age overnight any time now. You can't cheat mother time for much longer. Unfortunately with most boxers they only get it when they get a beating.

I have no idea who wins this Stevenson looked 40 last time out though the activity might do him some good. Gvodyk looks very good technically though doesn't have the best chin or defense - reminds me a bit of Ismail Sillakh though obviously a bit better.
He's a bit too upright that's asking for trouble vs a southpaw counterpuncher like Stevenson.

I don't know who I fancy. I feel Gvodyk is the better boxer, more youthful but I'm not convinced he's sturdy enough.

Stevenson indicated he was sick last time out vs Jack, so we'll see how he performs vs Gvozdyk. Father Time may be knocking at the door, or Adonis may just have had a bad night. It happens. IMO we'll get some solid answers in this fight. Definitely looking forward to it.

What netwotk will this be on? If SHO is putting on a PPV than does ESPN or DAZN bid fot this?

If December 1 is the locked in date for Stevenson-Gvozdyk, then Wilder-Fury is basically set for December 8.

In a perfect world, you'd have the Wilder-Fury PPV on December 1, with the re-air paired with Stevenson-Gvozdyk on December 8.

He probably should - Gvozdyk is dangerous but his chin is suspect, he won't take a bomb from Adonis on the chin.
...

And who will?

And who will?

Possibly no-one, but others don't have the same su****ion surrounding their chin as Gvozdyk

It's not that bad, actually. Let's say Gvozdyk has an average chin. The problem with that Tommy Karpency's punch was that it was sharp and Gvozdyk didn't see it coming.

At his age, an upset here wouldn't shock anyone in the least bit. Wouldn't mind seeing GGG move up and KO Chickenson though.

An article was just posted that Staples Center is the front runner and Dec 1 is the date.
