Stevenson is old and past his prime and has no gas tank.

    Stevenson should go up to cruiserweight come to the UK for one last payday and retire after being knocked cold by Bellew.

    Couldn't agree more, across the board with this statement.

    That's not true in the slighest. Tonight was a fair result, actually I thought Stevenson won by a round, but Jack was stiffed against DeGale, Bute and Periban. The issue there was the judges poor scoring rather than Jack not winning enough rounds. And the reason he gets so much love is because everybody thinks he's gonna get KO'd and then he doesn't get KO'd? Huh?

    Pimp is a protected bum that fights SMWs & scrubs! He's milked a career that would have been over long ago had he stepped up. Bivol styles on him & Kovalev KOs him. Foreman type power my ****ing arse :lol:

    ****ing casuals.

    I agree I scored it 7-5 Stevenson and I hate Adonis. That being said, I also scored Bute and DeGale matches a draw, Periban I barely paid attention to.

    Most picked him to lose by KO to Dirrell, to Groves, to DeGale and to Adonis, and he managed to see the final bell every time. So, yeah he tends to get more love than he deserves for managing to stay on his feet.

    If Stevenson goes to Kov`s body he will gas and your saw a tired Kov not able to take the right hand to the chin from Ward, in that situation, one punch from Stevenson would of taken Kov out, when you`re tired you can`t take shots that well, so far me it`s who gasses first and who lands that big shot first.

    Have to disagree there, I thought he beat both DeGale and Bute clearly.

    He gets love because he's a very good fighter, who beats very good opposition. Fights anyone. Basically cleared out SMW. I think he deserves a bit more credit than what you're giving him...

    Well, personally I think SMW is a dog**** division, so.... maybe I'm being a little harsh, but oh well.

    I don't know the thread had 42 people picking jack and 25 stevenson. I feel that was more hate than logical picks. One thing I noticed was stevensons left was a non factor for most of the fight. his body shots and inside work were pretty good. a big part of why he gassed was jack saved all his energy from round 7 on ward. and a massive high output wasn't doing well with stevenson who's left straight wasn't as sharp as I've seen it.

    lot's of people picked jack to win here more than half and the bookies had it dead even. I feel jack just didn't do good enough and doesn't deserve a rematch.

    In a perfect world Kovalev watches the fight and tells stevenson, "I thought you were going to lose, you showed you had more tools than I thought and thought you won, I am done talking trash, I'll fight you in montreal no more games let's just do this" or something like that. It would be a ko for either and I'd favour kovalev but I think they both have things for each other. let's just make it happen better late than never..

    Funny the DeGale fight as you kinda wanna give him the win based on that final knock down but i had DeGale two rounds up going into that final round as did the commentators if I remember rightly so the draw was probably right.
    Jack is the king of draws

    Well he is about 41.

    I'm surprised hes still going. Hes a guy who relys on athleticism and explosiveness, its odd that hes still able to compete in his 40s

    To say Stevenson has no gas tank is a bit silly after he came back late rounds after almost being stopped to come within seconds of stopping Jack with those body shots.

    Kovalev and Stevenson are shot.. simple Kov (who also has had stamina problems) would have knocked Stevenson out if he had him exhausted like that but Stevenson would have finish Kov with those body shots he landed on Jack.. I don’t want them to fight anymore because it won’t prove a thing on who coulda beat the other in their respective primes.. I actually think Jack could fight Kov to draw also because he would use the same game plan he did against Stevenson wait for him to tire out..
