Conclusion
Adonis Stevenson simply won the fight in impressive fashion with great body punching despite being knocked down and almost out in the 9th round of this fight. With the win, Stevenson may have a showdown with the legendary “Alien” Bernard Hopkins!! I would love to see that fight if it happens, but if Stevenson wants to win against the great Bernard Hopkins, he is going to have to step up the pace and not run out of gas because if he does, he may not be so lucky against an all-time superior boxing like Bernard Hopkins!!
As for Andrzej Fonfara, he has won over a lot of fans after tonight given that he took a lot of punishment from Stevenson, and he just kept coming. The boxing world appreciates a great warrior like Fonfara, and the boxing world would love to see Fonfara fight in the near future.
