Adonis Stevenson vs. Jesus Gonzales RBR

Adonis Stevenson is the classic Earnie Shavers/Herbie Hide type. Unreal power...it's just a pity he's also vulnerable himself with his below average whiskers.

 

Here were the IBF rankings as of two weeks ago:

CHAMPION: Lucian Bute Canada
Title won: Oct 19. 2007 Mandatory: Apr 09. 2012 Defended : Jul 09. 2011

WBA: Karoly Balzsay of Hungary WBC: Andre Ward of United States WBO: Robert Stieglitz of Germany

1 NOT RATED (Placeholder, there is no #1)
2 NOT RATED (Placeholder, there is no #2...or wasn't before tonight!!!)
3 Edwin Rodriguez United States
4 Arthur Abraham Germany
5 Carl Froch United Kingdom
6 Librado Andrade United States
7 Thomas Oosthuizen South Africa
8 George Groves United Kingdom
9 Anthony Dirrell United States
10 Pablo Farias Argentina
11 Don George United States
12 Jesus Gonzales United States
13 Glen Johnson United States
14 James Degale United Kingdom
15 Adonis Stevenson Canada



Stevenson vs. Gonzales was for the #2 spot. Stevenson just jumped 13 spaces!!!!!!!!!!


Edwin Rodriguez (#3) vs. Donovan George (#11) will probably be another sub-eliminator, and the winner will probably face Stevenson for the #1 spot and the right to challenge Lucian Bute!!


Rodriguez vs. George is a great fight!

Rodriguez vs. Stevenson or George vs. Stevenson would be great fights!!!

Bute vs. any of them would be fun while it lasted!!
