    Adonis is ''shot'' but IMO he beat Jack who is a quality fighter and one of the best LHWs in the world (and in a stacked to **** division too) last time out?

    I think Lampley is still in denial - or knows something we don't about them possibly getting a reprieve.

    Body work definitely played a part, but the guy is also 41. He was never known for his stamina, but being 41 doesn't help. I'm hoping he can pull something out, but I'm doubting it. I would pick the Stevenson that stopped Dawson to knock Gvozdyk out savagely though. It's going to be pretty upsetting for me if Adonis and Deontay both lose.

    Chilemba is all I see on his resume so far.

    So after watching Stevenson gas after four rounds, and get a gift draw in his last fight against Badou Jack. He all of a sudden isn't shot? You are talking like a fanboy right now man. Be a fan of Gvodzyk, not a fan boy.

    What? So Yunieski Gonzalez who arguably beat Pascal and had a near draw with Slava Shabranskyy being violently wrecked and KO'd in 3 doesn't mean diddly? Or how about his handling of Mohammedi in more impressive fashion than Kovalev? And while I'm at it, his far better handling of Chilemba than anyone who's face him to date, the fight wasn't even competitive.

    Try not rooting for a piece of **** torturer ****** and for a good clean cut genuinely nice guy for a change, you'll feel far less dirty afterward.:deal: And don't worry, Deontay will send Fury careening to the canvass in devastating fashion.

    Adonis might've fought the same vs jack 4 years ago. Adonis didn't look shot in round 1-6 at all. he got a draw vs jack, like everyone else, and you could have even gave Stevenson the fight. At this point Stevenson has more left than Pascal or Kovalev. this fight might be for the best fighter at 175.

    You are obviously a stupid troll. Smart, mature, near flawless display... Beautiful boxing.

    Some fighters know enough to know whether they need to push trying to get a guy out of there or not.. Bivol put on a masterful display and Pascal played his best audition for Survivor.. If this were Mayweather or Ward nobody would be talking about killer instinct or crying 'exposed' .. It would have been a 'clinic, a one sided schooling, too slick too twat'.. etc lol

    Bivol was dropping some hammers on him and fought a pretty much flawless fight..You want him to take unnecessary risks against a durable but dangerous guy like Pascal, when he’s trying to line himself up for a title fight?

    Trust me I would’ve loved to have seen Bivol stop Pascal..but Pascal is as solid as they come and for only his 15th pro fight, Bivol put a hell of a clinic on him.. The facts are that he's beating Ward, Alvarez & Kovalev opponents far easier than they did. Coasting in fact.... Easy! Bivol is the truth... Get used to it.

    18-0 Alvarez W12MD Isaac Chilemba (many feel Chilemba won)

    19-0 Alvarez W10 UD Robert Berridge (no KDs Berridge took the fight on late notice)

    13-0 Bivol WUD12 Isaac Chilemba (Bivol won at least 10 rounds IMO)

    8-0 Bivol WTKO4 Robert Berridge (Bivol dropped Berridge x 3)

    28-0 Andre Ward WUD12 Sullivan Barrera

    12-0 Bivol WTKO12 Sullivan Barrera

    Ward and Barrera both weighed exactly the same when they fought each other, whereas Bivol would've been giving away a significant amount of weight to Barrera IMO.

    20-1 Sullivan Barrera WUD10 Felix Valera (Valera dropped Barrera)

    6-0 Bivol WUD12 Felix Valera (Bivol dropped Valera x 2)

    23-0-1 Sergey Kovalev WKO7 Cedric Agnew

    10-0 Bivol WTKO4 Cedric Agnew

    Kovalev was 4lbs lighter than Agnew and Bivol was giving away 6lbs to Agnew


    26-0-1 Kovalev WTKO8 Pascal

    28-0-1 Kovalev WRTD7 Pascal

    Kovalev floored Pascal, the only time Pascal has ever officially been dropped in his career. And that was a better version of Kovalev than the one who was robbed against Ward.

    22-0-0 Eledier Alvarez WMD12 Pascal

    14-0 Bivol WUD12 Pascal.

    Bivol won at least 11 rounds IMO and unlike Kovalev and Alvarez who were both heavier or at worst the same as Pascal, Bivol was giving away 7lbs to Pascal, 6lbs to Agnew, and 5lbs to Chilema.
