    After his cut has healed properly will Badou Jack come back to box? That cut was so severe I have a nasty suspicion any decent punch with sufficient contact will open it up again. I could be wrong though, maybe it'll hold up better than I'm anticipating it to. Either way, do you guys think Badou Jack will bounce back and against who? At 35 years of age and showing that he was being out-muscled and out-skilled by a bigger, stronger, younger and fresher Marcus Browne, does Jack still pose a threat to the top fighters of the division at 175? Where do you think he goes from this loss?

    He will come back! I think right now 175 is one of the most competitive divisions in the sport so it's not gonna be easy

    I think he should retire personally, not because he is washed up but because he can’t beat the top names, these guys are bigger, stronger and more athletic than him. He won’t though he will be back.

    There is still a lot of money to be made, so he will be back.

    That cut was nasty as FK
    He might need a new face before returning to the ring

    I personally think all of the top LHWs can beat him,
    but he's probably at least competitive with most.
    He should've stayed at SMW.

    It's very telling that he couldn't beat Marcus Browne or an ancient Adonis.
    That cut looks like the kind that will be opened up again, he should
    retire but I'm sure he wont.

    he should return to 168 if he doesn't want to wind up like Stevenson. it may even be too late for that being a good idea.

    He's a world class gatekeeper at this point, but that still can mean six figure paydays. He has another year or so.

    He's been in a few wars, maybe he should call it a day?

    I was very, very surprised to see him lose (without controversy) to someone like Browne. Maybe it was one fight too many, and he should hang 'm up.

    I must admit I had Jack as a favourite going into the fight too. Unsure whether I overestimated Jack or underestimated Browne? Knew Browne was a legitimate contender but didn't expect quite such a dominant display over Jack at all.

    Had only seen Browne a couple of times, twice against pushovers and once against Kalajdzic which he clearly lost and looking like crap doing it. Getting away with a blatant robbery.
    He never impressed me, and now he suddenly beat Jack.

    I don’t think that was Jack’s true showing, he’s better than that. Browne isn’t bad though, he can probably raise his game against better fighters. I fancy Gvozdyk to beat him but it won’t be easy.
