Hatton result

Canadian super-middleweight hope Adonis Stevenson put himself in line for a shot at Britain's Carl Froch when halted Donovan George in an IBF eliminator on Friday night.

Stevenson, now 19 - 1 (16 KOs), sent the American to the canvas twice in round five and once in the sixth before finishing things with two further knockdowns in the 12th.

But it's likely that he'll have to wait awhile for his title shot as Froch is defending against Yusaf Mack next month and then is set to have a rematch with former titlist Lucien Bute in early 2013.
