Badou Jack can still be a serious SMW contender.

Obvious bias?

 

Well....? Circumstances have changed appreciably. :rasta

 

Nothing, just you're a "team player". :yep

 

Huh, you actually got this one right.

Good job, MVC.

 

If he is trained by ivoid he can be a good con artist. Running and hugging to win fight using controversy to sell fights! but Bumdou Jack doesn't have the gift of the gab!

 

How about now? Gonna give him any credit?

 

Can you honestly stay you would have continued to tip him for serious success after being blasted out in 1 had he not been part of TMT?

 

Moving up to LHW would be a major error on his part though. There will be money in a Degale rematch.

 

Don't worry he'll be lineal at 175!

 

Jack is strong at SMW, but I question how strong he'll be at LHW.
He didn't use his jab much because of Degale's odd movements. Jack did the right thing by staying in the middle of the ring and when Degale started running, Jack was pretty good at cutting off the ring.
The thing about Jack is, he warms up and stays in 2nd gear throughout the fight. He has no special effects and can't seem to kick in 3rd gear. He's consistent, but had he the ability to kick it up to a higher gear he would have stopped Degale in rd 12.

Jack should stay away from Ward. He''s so basic that Ward will have him pegged in rd 1. I expect Ward-Jack would look much like Ward-Barrera.

 

MVC is as right as my kitchen clock at 9:16 in the morning and the evening with this one
But I highly doubt Badou will prove to be a major factor at LHW, even if Ward retires, drops his belts and lesser boxers as Kovalev, Superpimp and Beterbiev get their hands on one, it probably proves too much to ask.
