Adonis Stevenson vs. Tommy Karpency on September 11th

[beenKOed]

I think that they did take that as they had no interesting options on the table at the moment so they decided to take something in order to keep Stevenson active and perhaps to tune him up for something better somewhere in 2016.

Yeah, yeah, and yeah. What your saying is until something surefire easy comes along.
I hate to say this about any fighter but Stevenson is looking more and more like a coward. He's going to hang on to that belt as long as he possibly can and doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks.
Hopefully he runs into a Junieski Gonzalez and gets his ass kicked. I've really lost patience with the guy.

Never heard of him..... never seen him.
He must, however, have a thing for Rayco Saunders (23-26-2), as I see he's fought the guy three times.

Gotta wonder where Adonis' camp dredged up... er... found this opponent.

He did beat Chad Dawson a while back, which had a lot more to do with Dawson being shit and even still I think I had it about even. Would only make this fight passable if Dawson had done anything after Stevenson iced him, or shown a shred of his former ability that night.

It would be interesting comparing Kovalev and Stevenson , if Stevenson fought Cleverly.
That at least will be interesting.

People used to criticise Haymon for getting HBO and Showtime to pay out for appearance fights/easy defences for his guys on their networks. When he started the PBC people assumed that now he'd paid so much for airtime and his new business was on the line then he'd need to make competitive fights to get big ratings and grow his business.

This isn't exactly a competitive fight. Haymon must be supremely confident that he can keep getting increased ratings even while putting fights like this one on. I'm not so sure.

Chad Dawson. Now there's a fighter that has been going down in flames ever since that pitiful performance against Andre Ward. Yeah... Karpency got the decision against Dawson, but like you pretty well said... so what.

[Silkeyjoe]

Stevensons such a bitch. Hed much prefer to get a couple of women in there so he can beat away at him. Its such a joke that scum like him get paid huge sums of money to fight in complete mismatches.

Seriously, they have to aim higher. Beterbiev and Kovalev blazing war paths..new all fire Gonzalez making a name, Pascal fighting his balls off and heart out simultaneously and Ward walking into his house like he was banging his wife and Stevenson is fighting club fighters and spr middleweights. Tommy will be scrappy but this one in the words of Kovalev is a 'pizz'a chit'.

Michel wanted him to fight Kovalev, finally but they decided to go for Kovalev-Pascal instead, which left Stevenson without super good options at the time. Thus said, I am not saying that to defend Stevenson; After his past emerge, I have a bit of difficulty to rally behind him but I truly believe that it'S what happend. And now that he's with Haymon, god knows what can get between him and a solid fight.

[Master]

Haymon is putting on a lot of boxing but they are poor matches. Quantity over quality.

[Spicoli]

Stevenson going on about "bringing a ko". Hope so chickenshat..that's what Tommy is here for

More interested in Errol Spence jr on undercard fighting Chris Van heerden. Anyone familiar with Van Heerden?

[Spicoli]

Van Heerden not a small guy. Wonder how those ribs will hold up though. Really like Spence composure. A lot to like early in career

[beenKOed]

Van Heerden is a punching bag, and like all punching bags, very tough.

[Spicoli]

That round should be rated R! Spence sits down on his shots like very few today, complete demolition

Spence is very good and Van Heerden is very tough. Very good is better than very tough, tonight for sure!
