stevenson stood straight up and held his chin in the air. frazier would have trouble early, but from round five would have dominated. in round eight frazier knocks him down three times........last one for the count.
Give Stevenson a punchers chance for two rounds after that Frazier kills himhis pressure and faster hand speed,Joe by ko 4 rds.
You're being overly generous as in a professional fight I give Stevenson NO CHANCE against Frazier. Frazier KO 5.
Silly thread really. Everyone's going to go with Frazier KO, it's the only logical answer. The only way were can compare is in the Olympic Final or something. Then Teofilo is an easy winner.
olympic style rules,Stevenson with a good chance for a win,remember Buster Mathis beat Frazier out for the 64 Olympics.15 round pro fight,Stevenson gets trapped on the ropes in 8 or nine rounds,lights out.
Joe stops Teofilo in about 3 rounds.It's so sad how many people overrate this guy.Great amateur fighter, nothing more, nothing less.
