Can't outbox him.
And doesn't throw enough punches to outhustle him. And Cant fight on the inside.
If Adonis tries to outbox B-hop that would be a huge mistake.

Now, Stevenson might sign a multi-fight deal before/after Fonfara with Showtime. Most likely after to be absolutely sure in case he loses.
But I see no reason why he wouldn't put his services up to bids again since the first time was motivated by money. This time HBO will actually put an effort up and he can drive his money up at the same time.
I'd be surprised if he didn't put his fight up for bid again. Get a good multi-deal and minimum as insurance

I say Stevenson defeats Bernard Hopkins by simply outworking and out hustling him. It's just simple arithmetic. One can easily beat him with pure volume punching; Since he prefers fighting at a slow pace and only averages less than 40 punches per round.
