Adonis will probably be favored in the rematch.
Regardless....
Adonis has run like a bitch from Kovalev.
Fonfara made JCC Jr. quit like a bitch on his stool.
I'm rooting for Fonfara.
I am losing a lot of interest toward Stevenson, even though he's from Montreal unless he fights Kovalev OR perhaps Ward. I used to think that he could rip though Kovalev with a lot of difficulties but I am really not certain of that anymore. I dn't fancy his chances against Ward but at least, that would be some nice and agressive bouts.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
Not too interested in the fight. I'll watch it but Stevenson is getting less and less relevant and fonfara isn't that great. He is coming off a win to Dawson who isn't much of a fighter anymore and previously got KO'd in the first round.
Stevenson gives Canelo a run for his money when it comes to damp shorts and puddles left. Nothing like the comfort of going backwards when you're so hesitant about moving forward.
Stevenson is about 50 ain't he? If he thought he was capable he would be begging for Kov & Ward for the final few pay days. He knows he's not in their class and he's picking up what he can. Fonfara might even be too much.
Adonis is a fraud and faker/coward. He was lucky to catch Dawson after Ward ruined him, and Cloud after Hop ruined him. The comparison to Canelo was spot on, both clowns get in the ring with their divisions' number one fighter, talk tough, and then run like cowards in a different direction.
My hope is that both Canelo and Stevenson suffer upset losses and learn that it is easier to remain relevant losing to a GGG or Kov than lesser fighters like JCC Jr., and/or Fonfara. Adonis is so old, and has had such a long lay off that I give Fonfara a decent chance to pull off the upset in the rematch.
He should be fighting Joe Smith if anything not the guy that Smith demolished. And what about Alvarez? How long are the WBC going to keep him hanging? I'm surprised Stevenson hasn't been cashed out against Beterbiev yet.
Yvon Michel promotes both Stevenson and Beterbiev I think. With all the trouble Artur was having to get an eliminator for the IBF it might have been easier to just match the two. Plus I would have thought Beterbiev has more upside than Stevenson.
Eleider Alvarez is the mandatory to Stevenson's WBC belt. He took step aside money so that Stevenson could face Monaghan. That fight fell through so I guess the Fonfara rematch is now the step aside fight. Alvarez has been mandatory since November 2015 after beating Chilemba. Funnily enough Alvarez' fight with Bute was a second eliminator although Alvarez was already the mandatory.
Stevenson has a few solid options now but I'm sure he is telling his management that he doesn't want to take any chances. He wants to stretch out his career as long as possible and keep making money by not putting in too much effort.
Fonfara has a good record since he lost to Stevenson, apart from the Joe Smith fight, so hes probably as deserved of a title fight as anyone
and whats happened to Joe Smith, after a win over bhop surely the best thing to do would be to get him straight back out
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
El bump! Card just around the corner and it fell off the radar. Not a bad one at least for sleeper weekend . Would be awesome to have Fonfara finally light this fraud up and dump Stevenson on his arse. Alvarez and Pascal hopefully shows best and what's left of both. Worlds apart though.
Pascal still with Roy in his corner getting pointers? Could be a very ominous sign this fight . So this is an official title eliminator and Pascal is not ranked in top 10? Brilliant wbc.
