    Stevenson has rarely been relevant. But this is a moment when he is.

    The kinks in Adonis's armor are now showing. He's
    starting to age. He blew his prime and (renaissance prime)
    on being inactive. It showed against Jack (who an active version
    of Adonis would've torpedoed). The fact that at 41 he's still one
    of the top 4 guys in his division is amazing but he's only gonna
    go downhill. I think most believe Gvokzyk is gonna walk over him.

    Ok then, I will ask you one question that has a 100% obvious, no-dispute answer, and we will see if you answer right. Now I want the legit answer here the one a real music fan would give.

    Who was better Bon Scott or Brian Johnson?

    Stevie Wonder can thank Jeff Beck (in part) for 'superstition'..

    Becks 'you had it coming' album is just guitar genius! Check it out.. The songs are insane!

    I'll answer wrong, Brian Johnson. Because I grew up listening to him, and like his tone better than Bon Scott, but hey, I'm also Sammy Hagar and John Bush guy, and had no issue with Dio and Coverdale taking over as singer in Sabbath and Deep Purple.

    I don't consider it 50-50; quite a ways from it.

    The incumbent has nearer a 5% chance of retaining, IMO.

    Yeah I know about him, and have heard him, but even as a guitar player, I've always had a hard time listening to instrumental albums, even from guys I'm a big fan of like Beck, Malmsteen, Vai and Satriani. Its just not my thing. I need bands and great lead singers to be built around them.

    I'm very curious to see what Stevenson's strategy will be. Will he go guns blazing in the first four rounds trying get Gvozdyk out of there or will he box conservatively behind his jab.

    Either way he's getting nailed.

    I also see Gvozdyk stopping Stevenson.

    He's an 8/11 favorite at the bookies (still pretty good value); Superman a 7/5 underdog.

    First scenario ends in an early KO win for The Nail, the second scenario ends with a late KO win for The Nail.
