Adonis Stevenson vs Tommy Karpency -Spike TV

Post by handsofstone »

Not getting this one live again,its on Friday but getting shown at 10pm on Saturday,handy if you've not got Sky and cant watch Joshua-Cornish,PBC shows are usually on youtube next day so i'll watch the card saturday morning.Errol Spence Jr fighting Chris Van Heeden on undercard

Im surprised to see Karpency get another title shot after Cleverly pretty much white washed him a few years back but he got a good win against Dawson although it was close,Stevenson's opposition seems to be getting poor after initially making some decent defences,Tommy's pretty tough but i still think Adonis will KO him before the halfway mark

Yes piss poor opposition for a supposed superstar lightheavyweight champ; ever since that Polish guy knocked Adonis over they've been protecting their golden goose "Superman" from any serious challenges.
Avoiding Kovolov at all costs, though Krushers last hapless "challenger" was as bad as any. These two clowns need to fight, instead of calling each other out on Twitter and boring everyone to death.

Are they going to bother showing it?
They didn't last time they advertised boxing

To be fair to Spike, I've bashed their F,C&S coverage as much as anybody, but they do seem to get behind the boxing. They've shown quite a lot of domestic bills in the short time that they've been on. And this is what? The third international fight card they've got the rights to.

Their technical issues last time were unfortunate and their drunken coverage at times borders on mocking the sport. But, because of Spike, there's a lot more boxing on freeview than there used to be. Even if there is room for improvement.

Spoiler alert for those watching this tonight






















Stevenson stops Karpency in 3,nothing special really but it was a good finish TBF,Tommy was down in the 2nd and saved by the bell and clearly hadnt recovered and was stopped within about 20 secs of the 3rd,i assumed Adonis just landed and he went from still being shaking from the previous KD and though Karpency was hurt,Stevenson caught him with a beauty of a left hand that probably wouldve still decked him even if he wasnt still unsteady

Kovalev next please

Wow! I thought he'd be long retired and happy and sorted. He was a good fighter in his day.
