Stevenson will likely still monitor his weight, keep things up with his workouts in the gym, and then lock down training camp for the winner of Alvarez-Bute, likely for sometime in May 2017.
Outside of Pascal being willing to take short money for the fight, I doubt that Stevenson puts his body through that extra camp before his defense.

alvarez would struggle to be active if he went right to stevenson and lost..
he can wager his shot at a title vs a guy in bute that he should beat and fightin in front of a huge crowd twice..alvarez is no spring chicken..and he's talk about needing more before jumping in with stevenson as well

Elieder Alvarez gets the chance to fight a name opponent (if Bute is as on the slide as folks seem to think, Alvarez also picks off a win over a name) for a big payday, before then having his fight against Stevenson (which I think he's the underdog in) for another big payday.

Originally posted by RightJabLikeZab View PostAlvarez must be getting paid serious money to keep being ok with them putting off his fight with Adonis.Originally posted by elcashanilla View PostOMG they are trying to keep alvarez as far as possible from stevenson this is Bull Sh@#tOriginally posted by Humean View PostThis is getting comical now. Stevenson better be fighting soon and it better be a good opponent.
did u all see the cuban getting huge fights after losing to ward? nope..same would happen with alvarez...maximize his dollar prior to stevenson by wagering his positiion as teh mando to anyone he fights...
this is nearly pascal kov, but to a worse degree, all over again...the popular fighter using his popularity to gain a position that he really hasn't earned.

alvarez is ducking lineage, no for the longer term, but for a guy who is popular but never good at 175...if it bites him in the ass i'll be pleased

Originally posted by KrusherStan View PostThen give the ****ing Adonis Stevenson fight to Beterbiev. WTF is Adonis gonna do? Take another layoff? I like Michel, but he's following the steps of DLH.
Beterbiev fights just before Christmas, will likely have another fight come Mar/Apr 2017, will take off the early summer for Ramadan, will possibly have another fight by the Fall, and will then be eyeing his shot at the Ward-Stevenson winner by early 2018.
