Adonis Stevenson vs. Badou Jack II

If Jack is more active in the early rounds the he will win.

 

He won the first time, he'll win again. Let's hope he knocks out Stevenson this time around.

 

If Jack is more active in the early rounds he might be koed

 

I didn’t realize Adonis life was so ****ed up even prior to him joining a gang. I don’t think he’ll allow himself to get knocked out but I think he’d probably lose a wide decision if the fight was outside Canada. If it’s inside Canada, who knows what the judges will see

 

What are the chances they draw again!? Adonis has no stamina and I don't think with more age he can draw from the willpower well again for a KO. Jack... no idea what goes on inside his mind, checking out of fights like he does. It's his thing, allow opponents to steal rounds and its not just early rounds. Jack seems overly timid when he should be a lion. Calling a draw... maybe lightning will strike twice?

 

Crosses fingers! Either can KO the other but they just seem to lack the onus to put it on the line. Here's to hoping it ends in a definitive conclusion.

 

Id rather see AB-Stevenson II. I think it'd make more money in the U.K.

But if Stevenson-Jack II I suspect another close decision. In vegas I got Jack dec

 

I think he had the right gameplan. But Stevenson had a lot more left in the tank than most of us anticipated, love him or hate him he looked great for a 41 year old fighter who's had long periods of inactivity and of course has feasted on questionable opposition. Jack was right to play it safe early - have a look and then look to impose his will on the 2nd half of the fight against the older man. Stevenson coming alive in the 10th round was unexpected though and had that not taken place he very likely wouldn't have only lost but might have gotten taken out in the championship rounds. Jack can probably win with the same gameplan, after all Stevensons only going to be older if/and when they fight again.

 

Am I the only one not really excited by the prospect of the rematch? Honestly I didn't find the first one very good. Stevenson looked very old in there, Jack was very negative as well considering that, I get that Stevenson has lots of power but IDK man he barely threw a punch in the first half.

I'd honestly rather see Stevenson with some younger, hungrier fighter than Jack.

 

Either way, I think it goes exactly the same as the first fight, I don't see how it'd be much different. Maybe Stevenson will get lucky this time and get a KO in the early rounds before he gasses. Otherwise Jack will do the same thing, Stevenson gasses, Jack applies some pressure/wins the mid rounds and Stevenson puts in a final shift towards the end.

Probably a pick'em decision in the end.

 

The historical prescient for these kind of fights is that the younger and fresher fighter takes the rematch. I see no reason to pick Stevenson in a rematch. That could have very well been his last hooray.
