    You'd think a guy coming into a fight as a 3 to 1 underdog (originally 8 to 1), after moving up for the first time to fight his first LHW fight against the king of the division and knocking his ass out cold in 76 seconds with a single punch in an spectacular fashion... Would get a little bit of credit. Should've known better on this site.

    Superman is definitely not a great boxer. But he has quite a left hand! I think every body agrees on that. Not much discussion to have here.

    Bernard Fossilkins will probably give him a serious lesson.

    Boxing in Quebec is great. I went up to Quebec City to see Hopkins Pascal and the arena was electric.

    Stevenson is not very good. I don't see him reigning very long.

    Yep, Stevenson isn't even as good as Pascal IMO. He probably would have got outboxed by Dawson if he didn't clip him.

    I don't think anyone's saying that it wasn't impressive. If you look at the posts, everyone's suggesting matchups with the top guys. Just not everyone's ready to accept he's the best there is just yet. KO1s tend to excite more than inform when it comes to boxing.

    I was thinking the same about a donation and a public apology.

    Bellew Takes him next, wide UD or late stoppage. However, Stephenson v Bute/Pascal would be interesting.

    A terrific win but let's see what he does next.This guy has a very troubled and disturbing past and has yet to reconcile with it.At age 35 there are not a lot of options left but to fight the best and make money fast.
