Adonis Stevenson vs. Thomas Williams Jr. & Eleider Alvarez vs. Robert Berridge RBR.

They're good buddies and he's a frequent guest on his podcast...

 

True but let's bear in mind that it was preceded by eighteen rounds of which most were fairly bland. This was a fun main event but the program wasn't put together very well.

 

:deal

 

Man, I think Gvozdyk would have a very tough night vs Stevenson. Beterbiev would be a problem for him though.

 

Eh, would you have thought so a week ago or is that just a knee-jerk reaction to a freshly recent memory of Karpency dropping him on a bad night at the office?

Because as embarrassing missteps a couple of years into your pro career go, that isn't as bad as getting knocked out by Darnell Boone.

 

So you're saying Stevenson is like a CEO?

 

He remains good enough as a boxer-puncher that he can really cement the LH legacy of those other two fighters, though. Hate him if you want, but Stevenson is a compelling opponent for the winner of the Kov-Ward clash.

 

The thing with Gvozdyk is that he doesn't have anything he excels at, he's all around good but nowhere spectacular. I didn't even think the kd was that big a deal, what I was more concerned with was Gvozdyk's lack of power and way of pushing punches, oh and he had no answer for Karpency's hooks.

 

Its weird how you blast Stevensen but Kovalev has killed someone in the ring and still delights in punishing people in it so who is the pyschopath?

 

Lucky thing Stevenson has no hook then. :yep (nor does he loop the left effectively to approximate the orthodox left hook... always just the long straight cross, the short downward-slanted bop on the chin dropped from up high on his own face, or the occasional uppercut...)

 

I'm not defending Stevenson, more dissing top execs who are rewarded for being sociopaths (like Roger Ailes). It was actually a thing in the last season of Dexter. In other words it was a joke. Relax.
