6-4 Gvozdyk
Stevenson taking punches mid 11th and breathing deep forced to cover up. Gvozdyk looks recouped and hurts him again ohhhh down he goes!!
Gvozdyk stops Adonis in the 11th round, what a good fight!
And i was just in the middle of writing a post about how bias this decision would go after round 12 ..lol. Well done Teddy and your boy.
Nice ending. Steveson still dangerous with these younger guys at his age.
Honestly didn't think it would be that two way explosive. That final right hand really left Stevenson in a literal heap. Atlas going nuts ;DQuote:

Called this one. Stevenson had better stamina than I thought he would but Gvozdyk got to him eventually which I assumed would happen. It just happened later in the fight than I thought it would.
Stevenson obviously scares people with his power. Everybody is so hesitant at the beginning of the fight with him. Gvozdyk started getting braver as the fight went on. Stevenson did hurt him in the 9th I think but he recovered pretty well and finished the job.

KO from another angle
The former pimp enforcer Adonis Stevenson got his comeuppance tonight. :)
So glad to see this guy get knocked out like that. After he blatantly ducked hop n kov I was done with him. That was a brutal, career ending k.o. also. He won’t be back after that one. Especially at his age.
I think a Kov fight is still interesting.Quote:

Wow. I was expecting some bad scorecards but that one was awful. One had Stevenson ahead by a round and the other a draw. Gvozdyk probably knew he needed a KO to ensure his victoryQuote:

Adonis Stevenson in critical condition after losing light heavyweight title to Oleksandr Gvozdyk
Former WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson is in a Quebec City hospital in what his promoter, Yvon Michel, said is critical condition after being stopped in the 11th round of a title fight by Oleksandr Gvozdyk on Saturday.
Stevenson was taken from the ring on a stretcher. Michel, his long-time promoter, tweeted in French that Stevenson is in intensive care in critical condition as a result of injuries he sustained in the fight.
Gvozdyk stopped Stevenson at 2:49 of the 11th with a multi-punch combination that sent the 41-year-old to the canvas.
https://s.yimg.com/it/api/res/1.2/rr...0320d42f8f5615
Michel’s statement read:
“The family of Adonis Stevenson and the leaders of Group Yvon Michel are currently with Adonis Stevenson. They wish to inform friends and supporters that Adonis is currently in critical condition in intensive care following his fight against Oleksandr Gvozdyk. They appreciate the concern and support of all. There will be no other comments for the moment and they respectfully ask for your understanding in their desire for privacy.”
Stevenson was leading on two of the three judges’ scorecards and was even on the third after the 10th. But Gvozdyk appeared to be the fresher fighter and landed a series of hard right hands to the head that Stevenson was unable to block.
Stevenson seemed out on his feet as Gvozdyk fired right hands at him, and referee Michael Griffin stopped it as Stevenson went down.
Stevenson, who was boxing’s longest-reigning champion after having won the belt from Chad Dawson on June 8, 2013, lost for the first time since being stopped by Darnell Boone in the second round on April 16, 2010. He is 29-2-1 with 24 knockouts.

Damn. Now I’m wishing I wasn’t so harsh/happy for the knockout. Hope he recovers and sorry to hear he was hurt that bad.
Yes. Me too. But this is what happens when you duck top competition and then face a real live guy... You get your world rocked.Quote:

People say that what happened to McClellan was karma, will people say the same thing about Stevenson, wasn't he a pimp who once held a knife to a womans throat and gave her the choice of being stabbed or being sodomized?

Never a fan but no glee found in a fighter struggling in dire straits and hurt badly in aftermath. Hope he makes a full recovery and gets out of the sport whole.
Boxer Adonis Stevenson remains in a critical condition in hospital after 11th-round knockout defeat by Oleksandr Gvozdyk
The 41-year-old's promoter, Yvon Michel, has confirmed his boxer is still in intensive care
Adonis Stevenson remains in a critical condition in hospital following his knockout defeat by Oleksandr Gvozdyk in Saturday’s WBC light-heavyweight world title fight.
The Canadian collapsed in his changing room after being brutally stopped in the 11th round by Ukraine’s Gvozdyk.
https://talksport.com/wp-content/upl...60&quality=100
The 41-year-old – nicknamed Superman – was rushed to a nearby hospital, and placed in intensive care.
Giving an update on his condition on Sunday evening, Stevenson’s promoter, Yvon Michel, revealed the 41-year-old remains in a serious condition under “careful medical supervision.”
He wrote on Twitter: From the whole family of Adonis, his wife Simone God and GYM (Groupe Yvon Michel), thank you for your many messages of encouragement and support. #Superman is currently under careful medical supervision of very competent doctors in a controlled environment.”
The World Boxing Council offered their ‘prayers’ for Stevenson’s recovery.
Stevenson famously beat Tony Bellew in 2013 to defend his WBC title.
Defeat to Gvozdyk saw him relinquish the belt after five years.

You can die or be killed doing any damn thing, boxing is no different.
I think that age was a big factor in this. He is 41 and hasn’t had much competition in some years, so fighting somebody with a pulse that can punch does damage. Also, it’s much worse when it happens in later rounds. If it had happened in the first few rounds then he would have probably been alright, but when the fatigue sets in it gets worse.
Karma for what?Quote:

I hope he pulls through ok. This has essentially ended his career. Gvozdyk turned out to be superman's kryptonite.
He tied up a little dog and allowed his pit bull to kill it.Quote:
