I consistently pick against this guy and he continues to prove me wrong.
I picked Dirrell, Groves, DeFail and now Stevenson all to beat him and he won ALL of those fights IMO.
I thought he beat Stevenson last night and once again he got jobbed on the cards just like he did against DeGale. I hope he gets the rematch and justice is done.
War Jack!
I like watching him fight. But damn, never winning these big fights its annoying.
I said it before in other threads, he let stevenson win ez 5 rounds of the first half, sorry but you cant do that at this stage. This draw is all on him
And to the people impressed by Jack having more energy after the fight... News flash: there's no 13th round in boxing anymore. These guys train for 12 rounds, so if Jack had more at the end, that just means he's inefficient and held more back. Nothing to be proud of there.
Agreed, he seems to hold back a bit in the early rounds of his fights, mostly like he wanted to conserve his energy, then he would go full blazing in the second half of his fights. That doesn’t work out too well all the time.
I didn’t think he necessarily beat Adonis, I thought he won the Degale fight doe. I like his level head, he seems calmer and wiser but he just need to push himself over the line a bit, he doesn’t start going on until later on in fights, he did that against Degale too.
He turned me into a fan a little while ago. It's frustrating though because he's so average, he always ends up never utterly dominating fights he could've won, hence the draws.

I was more impressed by Adonis learning how to be more wily in his old age, and very underwhelmed by "The Ripper"
Jack started off way too cautious. Super bouncy and inefficient for 30 seconds of a round, then flat footed as hell. Submissively accepted every clinch, and never found his 2nd gear. I was a Badou Jack fan, and lost a lot of love for him on Saturday. The excuses after only fighting 5-6 rds was insulting to fans.
To his credit, he was fighting Adonis AND the ref, but that's to be expected in the champs backyard.
I like him. He's a gritty fighter who is clearly a good student. He's improved a lot the last few years after been written off after getting KO'd. He is also willing to fight tough fights back to back like 50/50 fights or even one's he's the underdog. He's not a flashy or ****y guy at all. There's not a whole lot to dislike about the guy or his style (even if he does tend to overthink the first few rounds).
I think the three official draws he deserved the W in each of them. I thought the DeGale one was borderline bad and this one while I can see a case for the draw based on the rounds system but I felt he showed his superiority and I scored it for Jack by 7-5.
Exactly how I saw it...
Jack really took over in the middle rounds IMO.
He’s one of those guys who doesn’t do anything spectacular but his fundamentals are all really good.
Del Valle deserves A LOT of credit too, he’s really brought Jack on.
He's putting a negative spin on it? What is more negative than wanting someone to lose their eyesight?
I agree with him, you're not making any sense. He can also see what a tit you really are. If he's a hater for having a different opinion to you, then you're a hater for all you said in the other thread. Oh, and you're still going on with Juggernaut not spelling Klitschko correctly when you don't know the difference between "To" and "Too" you pathetic little rodent.
Sort yourself out will you.
And what's with all the emoticons? You go overboard with them. The way you use the life out of them makes you look like a real simpleton.
You stalking me now?😭😭😭
It’s called auto type, it happens sometimes. He consistently spells Klitschko wrong that’s the difference.
Get over it Brook quit! And no he is not a bigger draw than GGG like you tried to tell me earlier😭😭😭
I use them cause I’m usually laughing at sad b*stards like you, who claim they are “boxing fans” yet have never been to fight in their life😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Pathetic.
Try harder next time Flid-Knee And take that L b*tch🤣🤣🤣

He’s clearly putting a negative spin on everything. I ain’t got time for that kind of BS.
He admits he scored it 7-5, yet the draw was “undeserved”???😂😂
Jack went “life and death”, he got hurt a couple of times against a massive puncher in Stevenson. It’s boxing it happens...
That ain’t going “life and death”.😭😭
As I said, I ain’t got time for that sort of BS...

That was pure adrenaline I think.... he was also falling over at the bell, I agreed with Paulie that 20 with more seconds? Would've at least been a KD if not TKO.
I had to listen to the Sky sports commentary unfortunately😂, I was in Leeds last night so I DVR’d it and watched it this morning.
I’d agree with that though, Stevenson looked very tired after the fight and heavy legged at the bell. I rate Paulie as an analyst, he’s really observant and has good insight.
But how good is a fireman if he starts putting out a fire after he already let half the house burn down?
Not great but he'd be even worse if he rushed in without assessing the situation and becoming another victim of the fire without saving anyone. Also I think it's mighty generous to give Stevenson a clean sweep of the first 6 rounds considering he was hitting gloves most of the time.
Agreed, Jack was really busting him up in the middle rounds, Stevenson looked really spent until he found a second wind later on.

I think Stevenson was in trouble far more than Jack.. had Jack been a much harder puncher, it would've been over in 8 or less.

By going life and death with a 40 year old man and needing to blatantly low blow him several times to somewhat even things out and get and undeserved draw?

He was low blowing Stevenson regularly, like Stevenson’s nuts were lil speed bags!
Its like calling a fireman a coward for not rushing into a burning house before spraying a little water on it

Either your screen scale is wrong or you didn't even watch the fight... Stevenson was clearly the "bigger" guy last night, as I thought he would... I"d be surprised if Jack even walked in at 185...
Adonis might be more blown up.... but Jack is the naturally bigger man. Two inch height advantage... has next to no muscle and could easily fill out with some muscle and reach Cruiserweight... whereas Adonis is totally filled out. Jack is by far the naturally bigger man... and that showed in the second half of the fight, when he actually started to use his natural size and strength to his advantage.... wrestling Adonis in the clinch, walking him down and bullying him physically.
Just because someone has more muscle and a more impressive physique... doesn't mean they're 'bigger'. Even weighing more doesn't make you 'bigger'... if that weight is just excess muscle.
Being naturally stronger/bigger is more to do with your skeletal frame and your 'room' to put on weight. For a couple of examples (one exaggerated, the other not), take Wilder..... Wilder is HUGE.... but doesn't weigh much (220 - 230 pounds). Then take someone who is 5ft 9/10... like the bodybuilder Jay Cutler.... Cutler would outweigh wilder by 50 pounds.... but is he 'bigger'? Or naturally stronger? No.... And the same could be said for Wilder and Joshua.... AJ outweighs Wilder by a good 25 - 30 pounds... but is he bigger? No... he is just way more blown up..... It is excess muscle that doesn't really serve a purpose.
