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

    Both fighters looked absolutely buggered. I tried picking who was vulnerable but both showed toughness and weakness. Mark of a true fight

    Stevenson proved more to me in this fight than a lot of his previous fights. Im not ready to label him old yet despite being 40

    Jack gave away too many early rounds as he was cautious of that power left. Both guys were dead on their feet more than once.
    This was a heck of a fight but Jack showed had more stamina than Pimp. Pimp tossed his balls a few times and they takes away from a fighter so the legal body blow just put Jack deeper in the grave at one point. Don’t get it twisted as Jack returned foul for foul but the power of Pimp kept this fight alive to see the final bell.

    Jack impressed me not because he survived but because unlike some pros he seeks the best fights and never ducks or quacks.

    And he's given the best fighters all they could handle.

    Stevenson is declined but fights in a very relaxed manner that gives him increased longevity. He isn't terribly shopworn, generally hasn't gotten hit a lot, etc. However, he's going to get beaten sooner than later. Fighting Jack again probably is his best case, because Adonis still could defeat him.

    No reason to hate on Jack. He fights very well and tough and fights better opposition than an extreme majority of the top fighters out there. Not sure what the hate sentiment from the usual suspects are for... No rationalization there. Jack takes the fights we want a top fighter to take and he over performs what people think he will do. If you're a Brit, Stevenson, and/or Dirrell fan, I guess I understand. Otherwise. Yeahhhh. Self reflection time. You could pretend most people have scored Jacks' close fights/results against him. But you would only be pretending.

    We seem to have forgotten how fragile and overrated Adonis is and we seemed to have forgotten that Badou Jack is overrated as well.

    Also all of these guys are hype jobs, they cant sell like Golovkin or lomachenko can.
