(Photo credit: Amanda Kwok/SHOWTIME) By Jim Dower: WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson (25-1, 21 KOs) had an easy time stopping an over-matched Dmitry Sukhotsky (22-3, 16 Kos) in the 5th round in an optional title defense at the Colisee de Quebec, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Stevenson dropped Sukhotsky four times in the fight. There of the knockdowns came in the 5th round by left hands from Stevenson.
After the fight Stevenson said “He [Sergey Kovalev] has com come to me. I’m the Ring champion, so he has to come to me.”
Sukhotsky did zero to make a fight of it, as he fought defensively from start to finish. Rarely did Sukhotsky attempt to throw any punches in the fight.
By Gav Duthie: As 2014 draws to an end I thought I would take a look at an undefeated prospect from each division and study their chances of becoming a world champion in the new year. Many undefeated fighters are heavily protected and sometimes prospects who have suffered loss early and moved on become champions quicker.
By Dan Ambrose: Before last night, the November 8th fight between IBF/WBA light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (55-6, 32 KOs) and WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (25-0-1, 23 KOs) was considered to be a fight in which the winner would be seen pretty much as the main guy in the 175 pound division.
