On February 18, 2012, Adonis “Superman” Stevenson (16-1-0) faces Jesus “El Martillo” Gonzales (27-1-0) in an IBF super middleweight elimination bout for the organization’s number two spot in the division. For this main event bout, Stevenson will be trained by the legendary Emanuel Stewart. Both fighters are southpaw and eager to get it on. Stevenson is ranked number twelve in the world by Boxrec, while Jesus Gonzales ranks one position higher at eleventh. Fans should expect a very good fight as “Superman” and “the Hammer” scrap it out in pursuit of IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute.
