    I like Jacks but he's going to get KTFO around the 8th or 9th round

    This is great news for the fans, Stevenson vs Alvarez will be a lot bigger in a unification and the both get to have a good resume boosting warm up.

    40yo Stevenson is about to show you all why Ward and Kovalev have been ducking him.

    According to the latest update Alvarez was offered 1 M for his two next fights not 1M just to step aside.

    Apparently Eleider isnt happy with the offer, he'd want the 1 M just to step aside plus a sure fire guarantee contract with date and venue to face the winner


    Why does Bivol plays a part here ?

    Because the WBA wants Stevenson and Jack to fight an unification bout ( WBC and WBA)
    The belt that Ward vacated.the real WBA belt, not the one that Jack vacated and Bivol has now

    So thats that.

    I think Eleider will go with Haymon's plan
    He already knows his other option. He'll only get 150K for the Adonis Stevenson bout, even though he beat Pascal and Bute to increase his name value


    What would you guys chose ? The money or the chance to fulfill your dream ?

    depends on his financial situation, if he's well off from all step aside money, maybe he should fight Adonis then.

    Honestly I'd take the money deal and see what happens after those two bouts

    The cards are so stacked against Eleider that I think he'd have to kill Adonis to win that belt

    It's a real possibility, Alvarez has been offered a total purse of $1M for Bivol + (if he wins) Stevenon/Jack winner while he'll only get $150k against Stevenson if he refuses to step-aside.

    That Twitter channel makes things up all the time, that's not reliable I'm afraid.

    The reason I know is that I've been caught out by them a good few times.

    E.g. a few days ago they posted that Joshua failed the post-Takam VADA test.

    Time for people to doubt Jack again then make excuses when he brutalises and boxes the ears off Adonis. Man is a true warrior and doesn't duck anyone. Jack by accumulation stoppage in the 10th-11th from the shear weight of body punches. Never doubting the dude again.

    He’s genuinely likable and a hardworking fighter hard to root against the guy. I used to feel the same way about Kelly Pavlick I always felt he was a vulnerable overachiever but I always rooted for him even when I thought he’d lose.
