Adonis Stevenson entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 23-1-0 (20 KOs=87%) and he is ranked as the No.1 light heavyweight in the world, he suffered his only defeat in 2010 when he faced Darnell Boone for the first time but in their second bout the Canadian took revenge on the American (on March 22, 2013, Stevenson vs Boone 2); after this fight ‘Superman’ Stevenson won the WBC light-Hw title beating Chad Dawson (The Ring magazine Knockout of the Year 2013: Dawson vs Stevenson) and he successfully defended the belt against Tavoris Cloud (=Stevenson vs Cloud) and Tony Bellew (=Stevenson vs Bellew).

Since He took a beating from fonfara, then kovalev will knock him out. Wise move for chickenman not to wanna fight sergey.
that’s exactly what i thought. he switched stations to avoid the Russian

Kovalev struggled (not alot but alittle bit) with Cedric Agnew for Christs Sake….Kovalev and Gustaffson in MMA are the MOST overrated fighters in combat sports….Kovalev is replacing Lucas Bumtthyse as the most overrated fighter in boxing….And we all know what happened to Lucas Bumtthyse.
Adonis knocked down Fonfar 2 times and easily won by 6 points….Kovalev vs Adonis is a 50/50 fight.
Kovalev floored Agnew twice then KO’d him with a JAB. Agnew was in survival mode the moment he tasted the power. He did his best Clottey impression. Not one second did Kovalev struggle. You are a total & utter dope Now, Stevenson REALLY struggled with Fonfara. And what has Gustaffson got to do with this? I get where you’re coming from. I know exactly why you hate these two fighters.
Agreed
Thought I didnt think it at first I do now. That he and his people ran for cover.
I actually don’t want to see the 2 fight now as I know the outcome.
He will likely face Hopkins or such.
Snore.
You idiots were saying the same thing about Matthyse and Garcia and look what happened?? Garcia put a clinic on that overrated bum Matthyse….Kovalev is not a bum but he’s only an average fighter…..I don’t think Adonis is that great either, but it’s a 50/50 fight either way not to mention Kovalev has some problems against Southpaws….Anyone who thinks Kovalev will blow Adonis out is a biased fanboy idiot who has never boxed a day in there life.
Kovalev is your typical over rated White European fighter…Nothing special about him at all despite was his stupid ignorant fan boys think.

Boring fight but Stevenson came out on top again ,. That other fighter is weak . Boring fight … Light heavyweight division is boring just like the heavyweight division . Stevenson outsmart his opponent to come up with this win .

LOL you’re black & insecure. Please step outside and die in a drive by. Thank you. :-)
Insecure about what there bigger wangs? Its not the Blacks who are insecure in the locker room thats for sure :)
Not to play the race card, but it seems that the (in my opinion) White combat sports fans are by far the most insecure and are by far the biggest trolls….They obsessively root for 1 fighter and act like he’s God (like Lucas Matthyse) and then when he gets exposed they move onto another fighter (Kovalev or Gus) and hype him up absurdly without any real evidence to back up that hype….When they both lose these fanboys will simply find another White hype job….Their is some real insecurity and pathetic obsessive behavior coming from alot of White combat sports fans (at-least online)….Imo it’s much more evident than what you get from other races (and yes all races root for there own kind)….
I do think Blacks on a day to day basis are more racist than Whites and other groups…But, Whites do it in a more cowardly passive aggressive way….No one respects a passive aggressive racist like alot of these White boxing fanboys are…Man up and do it in public
LOL thank you for further proving your insecurity. Remember, you’re the one who brought up race, not me (or anyone else). You also mentioned an MMA fighter in the comments section of a video for a boxing match. That’s evidence of how insecure you are. lmao
You’re all upset because the black fighter, Stevenson, got exposed by some unknown white fighter, and you know Kovalev would utterly destroy Stevenson. That’s all there is to it, insecure black boy.
You put all your hopes & dreams into watching black fighters succeed because you know how useless blacks are when it comes to succeeding in education. Boxing is entertainment at the end of the day – it doesn’t really matter. What does matter is attending school and getting a good education, and blacks are failing big time there… hence your deep passion (and extreme insecurity) when it comes to boxing & MMA. Sport is all blacks have. LOL
And Matthysse isn’t white. Fail.
Now go die in a drive-by and be just another statistic. :-)
The fact that you have to generalize about Black education proves your insecurity before anything else you bray is even discussed. Were we to have to actually get to anything else, I’d have to say that most of the fights between any good Black fighter such as Floyd Mayweather against anyone who is not Black brings out the “Great White Hope” mentality whether it’s a White fighter or a hispanic fighter. Soon as Floyd dispatches said fighter, there are a plethora of excuses made and a reclassification of the previously “certain winner” as a palooka.
A perfect example would be Canelo Alvarez who went from “Floyd Killer” to neophyte fighter that Floyd “picked” because he didn’t have a chance. Same with Chino, who was a knockout artist sure to beat Floyd when in fact he was very poorly equipped to deal with him and while being a good fighter in his own right, had no chance whatsoever.
The theory gets cemented with everyone’s favorite “hope”, that being Manny. Manny can’t beat Floyd. He couldn’t have beaten him in his prime. He will never be able to beat Floyd. He simply doesn’t have the skills. He doesn’t hit harder than Chino, is not faster than either Shane in his prime or Zab Judah, and has no plan to defeat Floyd’s defense, without which a fighter will certainly lose. But both Whites and Mexicans delude themselves to no end claiming Floyd has some reason to “duck” Pacquiao, when in fact several of the men that Floyd beat handily have yet to duck Manny and one even knocked him the f out in dramatic fashion. In fact, Manny had a hard time with that loser Bradley even when Provodnikov nearly beat Bradley to death. But some people need to continue ice skating uphill and how can anyone stop them, huh?
There’s too much precedent to argue this. It’s been going on ever since Whites prayed on hands and knees that Max Schmelling would beat Joe Louis. Or that Gerry Cooney would beat Larry Holmes. How did those turn out?
And please don’t reach into your tiny bag of tricks and pull up Marciano, because that ship has sailed, as has the ship the two Ukrainians are aboard as they beat the crap out of the palookas they’ve been fighting. And as for that rabbit punching poseur that just retired a few years ago? Calzaghe or however you spell his name? C’mon. We know that dood was bogus.
Here’s where you fail. When Floyd, or some other Black fighter fights, Blacks either like them or don’t like them. Will either bet for them or against them. Will critique them or not. Like that goober that thinks he’s Floyd that got raped by Chino. I don’t know a Black person who wasn’t laughing at him and even tweeting that directly to his account before he got back to his dressing room. Being Black is no “key to the race” for a Black boxer. Mexicans on the other hand? All a dood has to do to be okay with Mexicans is to be Mexican and fight a non Mexican. And Whites are becoming the same way.
Signed, a German woman
compared to blk people Matthysse functions as white. so that statement was accurate.
You said,”I do think Blacks on a day to day basis are more racist than Whites and other groups” I disagree with that, White folks from all parts of the world practice racism with deceit. Blk folks are victims of the system of racism-white supremacy.Not racists themselves. Blk folks DO MISTREAT EACH OTHER MOSTLY. If they are in positions to mistreat non black people then they would do so, also,based on what I have observed. Racism IS white supremacy and white supremacy is the only form of functional racism. Based on what I have observed.
from I have observed, Kovie knocks out stevenson out much like he did with Pascal.Pascal was Pas-scalped. Or passed out
Good job ATBF to have found this video, I can’t find the fight by ‘ordinary’ means. This is certainly the last competitive fight of fellow Quebecer and not fellow pimp Stevenson. I wonder why he fights the Karpencys of the world when he can go for a solid fighter like Fonfara again.
Superb job by Fonfara to resist all the way, and now that he has beaten Chavez JR., I hope our (very disliked and criticised) Stevenson gives him another chance. He has no excuse, both are with Haymon.
