    I scored it 115-113 to Stevenson.

    Jack was far too cautious and tentative in the first 5 rounds and it cost him the fight. I think he was feeling him out, but that process took far too long. He lacked the aggression in those first 5 rounds despite showing some good counters. Stevenson was clearly feeling the pace in rounds 6-9 and was absorbing some big shots, but got his second wind in round 10. Rounds 11 and 12 were very close.

    Jack and his fans shouldn't be celebrating for getting back into the fight against a 48 year old part timer.

    115-113, Stevenson. I can see a draw but I felt Stevenson was still closer to win this, notwithstanding Jack outclassing him from rounds 7 to 9. He almost had Jack out on his feet in round 11.

    I will probably pick Jack for a rematch though, Stevenson is past it, but whether you like him or not, he is a hell of a fighter and a natural talent. It is a shame we never got to see prime Stevenson vs prime undefeated Kovalev.

    Okay, that’s one country. What’s your point? The major countries like USA, UK, etc don’t.

    Just watched the fight, I had Stevenson winning by a round but Stevenson his timing was off he couldn’t really throw the straight left on the counter and jacks game plan was very good like early in the fight throwing long body shots to off set Adonis.

    Great fight though fair play to Adonis coming back so strong late on and being 40.

    I'm ok with MD but 115-113 should have been for Stevenson. And yes, Stevenson is an old man now.

    I have to say that both fighters impressed me. Adonis ability to adapt to a crafty, resilient veteren. To mix it up with a very good boxer. I didnt rate Adonis ability like this but he showed his way vs Jack.

    Jacks ability to withstand the force of a legitimate strike force champion. To fight through barriers of pain to the body and finish the fight. I only wish he stated his case earlier

    I hope to see these two go again soon!

    Close fight. The winner should be the one who is the Boss at the end of the fight. Jack finished like a winner.

    Jack did what most pro do, if you are fouled you return the foul. He then went a tee bit over board:D

    Still waiting for an educated reply. Why does one country matter in this argument?
