Apparently the Floyd Mayweather virus is spreading. It has now hit Adonis Stevenson. What is the Floyd Mayweather virus? It is when a champion refuses to defend against top competition and opts for an easy opponent.
Adonis Stevenson has chosen unheralded challenger Tommy Karpency. Karpency (25-4-1, 14 KO's) is ranked #9 by the WBC and is being compared to Rod Salka.
The bout will be broadcast by Spike TV and feature as a Premier Boxing Champions event - I would suggest this should be broadcast on the comedy channel.
How does Dan Rafael feel about Adonis' choice of opponent:
“If Stevenson actually is facing Karpency next, as he just tweeted, that’s Salka-like. What a wretched, disgusting, worthless fight. #boxing”
I think that's pretty much how all of us feel about this situation.
