By Allan Fox: WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson (21-1, 18 KO’s) met with HBO recently to discuss his next fight, which the network will likely be televising depending on the opponent picked out. According to Dan Rafael, former IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud (24-1, 19 KO’s) was mentioned as a possible opponent for Stevenson’s first defense.
However, the 35-year-old Stevenson still prefers to face IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins rather than fighting Cloud. That doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.
Hopkins could end up defending his IBF title against Karo Murat, who the International Boxing Federation recently reinstated as Hopkins’ mandatory challenger after briefly removing Murat from that position when he was experiencing visa problems.
By Sean McDaniel: WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson wants fights against Bernard Hopkins or Andre Ward, but the chances of Stevenson getting those fights seem to be slim at the moment as Hopkins has been ordered to defend his IBF light heavyweight title against Sergiy Kovalev next, and Andre Ward isn’t showing any signs that he wants to face Stevenson.

By Mark Havey: It’s common for us to see boxer start to decline between the ages of 30 and 35. Some don’t last quite so long, others last a little longer. If a boxer is lucky enough to hit 35 years old we speak of him being on borrowed time. before long the legs start to go, followed swiftly by a decline in reflexes. I hear it all the time, “boxing is a young man’s game”, and I agree.

By Allan Fox: ESPN analyst Teddy Atlas is picking IBF light heavyweight champion Tavoris Cloud (24-0, 19 KO’s) to defeat 48-year-old Bernard Hopkins (52-6-2, 32 KO’s) tonight in their fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Atlas feels that Cloud has too much youth, too much strength and too high of a workrate for the aging Hopkins. If Hopkins does win, he’ll become the oldest fighter to capture a world title. He currently has the record at winning the WBC 175 lb. title at 46, but he can break that tonight if he can somehow find a way to defeat Cloud.
By Cutman’s Stool: Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins (52-6-2, 32 KO’s) is here, at the age of 48 fighting against undefeated fighter Tavoris “Thunder” Cloud (24-0, 19 KO’s) for the IBF light heavyweight title. The age alone is an amazing feat, a boxer less than 2 years away from being 50, fighting for a world title.
