Fonfara: "Stevenson is no superman"

[beenKOed]

Stevenson does have a problem with stamina, and he should do what ever it takes to make it go away, but he was throwing a lot of punches and working hard to keep Petrov at the right distance.
I really didn't expect him to be like Superman, everybody knows Superman was a white dude.

Not sure what to say here. Stamina issues? The guy fought his ass off for 12 rounds in a fight that he had to work the full 3 minutes of every round to the credit of his opponent. Like almost every Manny student he throws his jab with everything on it and his straight left. I defy any fighter to be as active as he was sitting down on every punch and not be as tired as he was. Not sure what people expect. When I played Junior hockey I was spent after a 40 second shift. We routinely see guys gassed after 4 rounds weekly not working half as much.

I dont think stamina is an issue for him. He is just technically challenged and limited..

I always thought he's a one handed fighter and there is no way hopkins would lose to this dude.

I think Pascal would beat him too..

Hopkins would win, I have serious doubts about Pascal.
Stevenson wasn't 'technically challenged or limited' during the first half of that fight.
He gassed for a couple of rounds and let Petrov make a fight of it, he has a stamina problem. I don't know if it's a training problem or in his head....could be he spends too much time thinking about his entrance.
He came back from a difficult spot (no gas in the tank) to win that fight, he showed he wanted it more by shutting the door on Petrov, good for him.

This proves the old adage "you're only as good as your last fight."

Look how far Stevenson's stock has dropped as a result of this fight.

Eubanks was never simply the best
Herol bomber Graham did not have bombs
Hearns did not kill people for money
Hagler was not always marvellous
McCallum did not not steal from graves.......

Actually MacCullum was once arrested for grave robbery in Kingston.

Stevenson's stock has dropped? According to whom?

Also... He'll take Bernard by KO.

Adonis should be favourite he he stays busy and that power will command Hopkins respect. That is what makes the fight fascinating.

I genuinely think Kovalev would beat Hopkins.

Kovalev's handlers aren't as confident....he was heavilly advised to skip Hopkins for Cleverly.

Who is his biggest Win??

Campillo?

The guy with like 5 KO's.

And it can easilly rise again.

Holyfield looked like trash against Czyz...then followed up that lackluster performance by knocking out mike Tyson.

Manny got planted on his face and ya'll still on his crotch like pubic lice.
