It looked like a mismatch going in and lived down to the billing. At least when it was over, the right name came out of the champion’s mouth. 37-year old Haitian World Light Heavyweight Champion Adonis Stevenson (27-1, 22 KO) of Blainville, Quebec, Canada, scored second and third round knockdowns of 29-year old challenger Tommy Karpency (25-5-1, 14 KO) of Adah, Pennsylvania, en route to a third round stoppage on Friday night at the Rico Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Adonis Stevenson and Tommy Karpency were both on weight ahead of their World light heavyweight championship contest Friday evening in Toronto, Canada. Stevenson came in right at the 175 lb. limit; Karpency was slightly lighter, tipping the scales at 174.5 lbs. The championship contest headlines live on Spike TV, in the network's latest installment of the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) series. The fight will mark the sixth defense of the lineal championship Stevenson (26-1, 21KOs) claimed in a one-punch 1st round knockout of Chad Dawson in June '13. Most recently, the Haitian-Canadian southpaw earned a 12-round decision over Sakio Bika in the first episode of PBC on CBS in April. Karpency (25-4-1, 14KOs) also has Dawson to thank for propelling to the title picture. The veteran boxer from Midwestern U.S. claimed an upset decision win over the former champ last October to advance from gatekeeper to the contender. The bout will mark his second bid at a major title, having dropped a 12-round decision to then-unbeaten titlist Nathan Clevery in their Feb. '12 clash. Karpency then went on to suffer a 7th round knockout at the hands of current top light heavyweight contender Andrzej Fonfara in Nov. '12, but has since won four straight.

Two notable boxers of Haitian descent are involved in action this weekend. An upset occurring in either fight would go down among the most shocking in-ring results in recent memory. Whereas Andre Berto—a Haitian-American raised in Florida—faces a major uphill battle in Saturday’s challenge of World welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas, Adonis Stevenson is a heavy betting favorite in Friday’s showdown with Tommy Karpency. The bout marks the sixth defense of the World light heavyweight title for Stevenson, who insists he is leaving nothing to chance in their Spike TV-televised headliner Friday evening in Toronto, Canada. “It's his second chance for a world title. He made mistakes the first time and he's worked on that,” Stevenson (26-1, 21KOs) says of Karpency, a longtime journeyman who hit the jackpot with a 10-round upset win over Chad Dawson last October. “I expect that he believes he's going to win. I don't underestimate him. I'm ready to win. I’m prepared for anything; there won’t be any surprises.”
