I thought the draw was fair.

I was left thinking that had Jack started a little sooner, he would have won it but also if Stevenson was in better condition, he would have taken it. Stevenson at 40 just can't fight 12 hard rounds.

I did agree with Farhood in that the rounds that Jack won, he won more convincingly.

A rematch would end in a stoppage I think.

 

Agreed. You can't ignore that Stevenson got his ass kicked for 90% of round 10 before he connected on the bodyshot. He capitalized on it in round 11.

 

Baffling the way many on here saw it, honestly.

 

He landed a huge bodyshot that almost made Jack take a knee. That's why a lot of us gave him the round. It was close though.

 

114/114
My scores are in the RBR

 

No one cards are perfect

I thought Stevenson got his second wind in the 10th and did a lot better from 10-12 than he did in 6-9.

Those rounds from 10-12 were sloppy too. Difficult rounds to score for me at the time, maybe if I rewatch they will be clearer.

 

I had it 114-114 and would have been okay with 7-5 in either direction. Jack had to know he was giving away rounds. He took a risk and it sort of worked, sort of backfired.

 

This. Stevenson needs to hurry up and finish his career, since like PAC he can no longer sustain his offense. If Jack had any kind of power Stevenson wouldn't have made it passed the 6th round. Jack was landing jabs and right hooks almost at will and couldn't even drop Stevenson, who has an average chin at best.

 

Reading the posts on this thread show just how close the fight was. Nobody really seems too upset with the draw either (except maybe Badou Jack) from memory, rounds 7,8 and 9 are the only rounds I could score with any certainty (all for Jack). I was also ready to give Jack the 10th definitively until he got badly hurt with that body shot. I still gave him the 10th but the ending of the round with Jack hurt made it somewhat debatable.

I gave Jack rounds 3,4,7,8,9,10 and 12 and Stevenson rounds 1,2 5,6 and 11. Rounds 1-6 were all close, they might change on 2nd viewing.

 

115-114 Stevenson

Draw is okay for me, though Jack winning is pushing it. And I DESPISE Stevenson so I have every reason to root against him.
