Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-09-11, fight not particularly exciting between Adonis Stevenson and Tommy Karpency: it gets two stars.Adonis Stevenson entered this fight with a boxing record of 26-1-0 (21 KOs=81%) and he is ranked as the No.2 light heavyweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Sergey Kovalev). He suffered his only defeat in 2010 when he faced Darnell Boone, since then he has won 13 consecutive bouts taking revenge on Boone (on March 22, 2013, Stevenson vs Boone 2) and winning the WBC light-Hw title in 2013 against Chad Dawson (The Ring magazine Knockout of the Year: Dawson vs Stevenson). After this fight he has defended his belt five times beating Sakio Bika in his last one (=Stevenson vs Bika).
His opponent, Tommy Karpency, has an official record of 25-4-1 (14 knockouts) and he entered as the No.15 in the same weight class. He lost two consecutive fights in 2012, against Nathan Cleverly and Andrzej Fonfara (=Fonfara vs Karpency), but then he has won four bouts defeating Rayco Saunders in his last one. ‘Superman’ Stevenson vs Karpency is valid for the WBC World light heavyweight title (Stevenson’s sixth defense).

What a joke. 100-1 betting odds lmao. Karpency has less boxing skills than the average pizza delivery guy.
Two nice knock downs and a good referee’s stoppage however in front of a low competition rival. Agree that Stevenson should be fighting already with the best opposition in this category.
Can you imagine to win 10$ you had to wage 1000$?? They blocked SPIKE TV and tried to sell us this fight for 59.99$ in Canada. You can go see Karpency’s boxrec record to see the mediocrity of the opposition he faced. I’m so disappointed in Stevenson’s lack of willingness to make big fights :(
Horrible. Like 9/10 of the PBC fights.
Al Haymon is on a mission to make boxing as big as championship snooker.
Maybe a money launderer? He pays his boxers so much and doesn’t like the media at all.
But they say Yuneski Gonzalez, the guy who gave Jean Pascal all he could handle, could be the next Stevenson opponent. That would be good, but why not Pascal? I don’t know how this combat looks internationally and maybe you can tell me if the interest is there, but here in Quebec it would be a HUGE fight with 2 of our biggest stars. Pascal has been asking to fight Stevenson for a year.
Yeah more huge than pascal vs bute! Québec want this fight!
I just read the crowd was 4,000 and the ratings on SPIKE very disappointing. Well, with a mismatch like that, I’m surprised 4,000 people went to see the fight
