What is that weird thing Stevens does with his back foot all about? I've never seen another fighter do that. He drags it then does some weird motion as if hes stamping out a cigarette Yeah I saw that as well. I guess I noticed him doing it here and there before, but never to that extreme. I guess it could have been his feet sliding in the shoe but idk. Seemed more like a habitual thing he's dooes when he's forced to reset. Ndam's gameplan really brought that habit to light

Curtis turning into another Zab Judah (well not exactly since Zab did win multiple titles at 147), always gets a title shot but isn't a top level fighter... Curtis had a fish in front of him with a questionable chin AND a small ring and still couldn't put the guy out, only hurt him once or twice... Curtis is just disappointing...

Stevens looks to me like a fighter who's seriously short on confidence. He always looks extremely tight and anxious. You can see it in how he shakes his arms out repeatedly in early rounds as he tries to loosen up, or in that strange toe tapping tic that he has. You can even see it in his facial expressions. A guy who's naturally very fast or explosive can possibly afford that sort of intense focus, but a guy like Stevens can't. He needs to be more fluid and loose given his style but the guy always looks like a ball of tension in there. He needs a trainer that can get in his head and chill him the fu*k out.

Stevens was looking for the left hook counter all night, and he only landed it once. N'Dam made defensive mistakes, but rarely did Stevens capitalize. That ring was small and still he couldn't make anything happen.

To be fair to Stevens, N'Dam was a horrible style for him. But you'd also have to say his inability to cut the ring off was brutally exposed, especially given how small that ring actually was. N'Dam mightn't be all that, but when he stays disciplined he'll be difficult for most of the guys who're around at the moment. It had already been exposed against Dirrell. Props to N'Dam, he was more disciplined than I expected.

Got to round 5, couldn't watch any more. Boring, boring boxing. Quillen is a boss quillin looked just as bad aside from 3 rounds lol. Yep, same story except knockdowns got him out of jail. The Golovtards were holding Stevens' nutsack after Triple Duck demolished him - as if Stevens were a top 5 middleweight. Meanwhile, Stevens managed to win all of *2* rounds against Hassan N'Dam. Well, what do you Golovtards have to says now? and he got knocked out against Golovkin, same thing would happen to N'Dam.

N'Dam mightn't be all that, but when he stays disciplined he'll be difficult for most of the guys who're around at the moment. He could definitely beat Solimon or Taylor.

Curtis is just so damn small.. He has a good boxing-esque athleticism, but he doesn't use it. He just becomes so one-track minded that he doesn't apply it. His feet move too slowly for a 5'7" middleweight.

Stevens is terrible.

4 of those N'Dam decision votes came after the fight was over. And strangely, the N'Dam KO vote, too. Yup i saw that, very strange.

i expect the poll to change and have alot of people picking hassan by decision 4 of those N'Dam decision votes came after the fight was over. And strangely, the N'Dam KO vote, too.

man watching that fight was like, well... two things 1) it was like watching a middleweight fighting a JMW, stevens could not deal with n'dam's length and movement. you can tell stevens does not like fighting in the comeforward style (just like canelo isn't comfortable with it, neither is danny garcia, they like their opponents to come forward and give them a chance to "catch & shoot") 2) stevens did not train for this opponent at all. you'd have me fooled if he did, because if he did, then he forgot it all once he stepped in the ring. this guy cannot deal with movement. n'dam isn't even that good, he's alright but stevens is what he is the IBF belt is gonna change hands quite a few times over the next few years

reminded me of dirrel fight in some ways if stevens took pages out of maidanas book he would have had more success

They were the chin-checkers...lol. Stevens will always beat the B- level fighters but any A+ will take away his left hook and because he does not jab, he will always be neutralized in the ring. Chin checkers baby,, use to be hyped on them like ten years ago when they were on shobox, and then Allen green brutally stopped jaidon... Jaidon had a nice run on contender and the bika fight is an underrated war.. Last I saw jaidon he was fighting overseas as a cruiserweight and got stopped in 1... That's why I never get too hyped about young "future greats" prospects, boxing is a very humbling sport

Remember his other stablemate jaidon codrington,, not too many do They were the chin-checkers...lol. Stevens will always beat the B- level fighters but any A+ will take away his left hook and because he does not jab, he will always be neutralized in the ring.
