    What a garbage fight. Stevenson literally has NO right hand whatsoever. He fights anybody with a pulse and he's done.

    About the same amount of time that he fought someone with a pulse.

    Yeah he does. He didn't have to use it against Fonfara though. He jabs, and on the inside he throws hooks with both hands. I wouldn't pick Alvarez to beat him.

    This. The only person I would pick against Stevenson is Ward, since I think he would find a way to neutralize Stevenson's left hand. But as long as Stevenson keeps his hand speed and athleticism he is a problem for everyone.

    Did you not see the last 15 seconds of the first round? He was on the inside, had Fonfara on the ropes- threw like 15 straight left hands in a row, not a single right. Had he mixed a few rights in there he would have gotten more punches in than he would repeatedly loading up with the left, and probably would have gotten the stoppage. I wouldn't pick him either, but then again it's only ever been about Kovalev, Beterbiev, and Ward, who would easily beat him, and would have long ago had he given them the chance.

    stevenson has been cherry picking for a few years now for a reason. he finally fought fonfara again now that smith shattered his jaw. there were about five guys at least that would have been better opponents. i like how he declined to name anyone he would like to fight next. it will be cleverly or maybe drag bellew back down.

    On paper, someone like Ward should school the powerful but incredibly limited Stevenson. On paper, Floyd schools Maidana 12-0 though.

    Lol! Agreed. The guy looked confused inside. He actually patted Fonfara with both hands like a kitten at one point and then threw some more lefts. lol! Youre right. Dude is Gahhhhhbaggge!!!

    HBO complained about Stevenson not fighting Kovalev and that's a fact! Chickenson went to Showtime in order to avoid Kovalev. Those are facts, not Trump's alternative facts........

    This. That left zero's in hard and fast. The only fighter at light heavy with 1 shot ko power imo. Kov and ward would need to be very very careful against him

    He's not exactly garbage, but he has his weaknesses and I'd pick Ward, Kovalev, Beterbiev and Gvozdyk to beat him. It goes without saying that those are still very dangerous fights for the above.

    Got the best straight left in the world, but the rest of his game is quite ordinary.

    He's beaten everyone he's faced. He does his job. Can't really knock him.

    Fonfara has an Amere Khan level of glass jaw.

    He should be put right into the top 3 of this months glass jaw rankings.

    Smith already shattered that, Adonis was just punching at broken glass.
