    Conceicao schooled him. Stevenson is bigger, faster, and more skilled than Robson.

    There's literally no possible argument anyone could make that he beat Conceicao.

    Even in a losing fight guys makes excuse. "he was running", "he was palming me" "he was constantly holding me " "I had a bad camp" "leg cramp" and therefore it cause me to lose.

    I'm just glad he said I lost. The better man won.

    There is inevitable bathos that comes with having seen exactly what one expected to see.

    I mean, there are still some question marks over Stevenson. Ideally, I'd like to see them answered at 130, but I can't see anyone in the division who brings the right kind of heat. Lemos at 135 would be a terrific gauntlet for him to run, but, alas, I don't see that one happening.

    I remember someone said something similar when I said Mayweather would never be beaten. Lol talk about deja Vu. That being said one thing I love about this sport is it is always full of surprises.

    He probably would, as he's basically a bigger, faster, better version of Conceição. Though I would strongly suspect it would be more competitive than this fight was.

    Nothing left to prove at 130. He needs to go to 135

    You should. The decision was genuinely reprehensible. Tonight's result was never in question.

    For my real prediction..... here's what I said back in January.:D

    I hear what you are saying and for the most part agree with you, but having an excuse here would stretch levels of incredulity that should not be humanly possible.

    Idk why some people are hating on Stevenson. It reminds me of people hating on Mayweather and the Klitschkos. I don't know if people just hate winners or hate people who have technical skills.

    Because he's a profoundly unlikable punk, and very easy to root against?:nusenuse: No one hate winners, they hate killjoy dullards who suck the life out of the sport. No one will remember this match tomorrow, but they'll all be talking about Serrano-Taylor and Beefy-Vargas. Let that sink in.

    Oh, looks like Canelo fans are asking to kick out Oscar Valdez from team Reynoso. One Loss and he is a bum apparently.

    Stevenson's just a likeable goofball with nice boxing and lots of confidence in himself, nothing to hate on so far as I see it. For my part, I just want to see how big a dog is inside him, something Oscar was never likely to provide a measure of.
