Curtis Stevens

[Vargas28]

If anyone should be mad at somebody it should be people being mad at Curtis Stevens.. He's the guy who kept chasing Andre around the ring, and getting dominated. Do something else obviously what he was doing wasn't working.

Andre created more action than Stevens did. I'd definitley pay to see Andre fight again.

So was it expensive?

That doesnt make sense?

I think he's just too inexperienced. He didn't know how to cut off the ring, or how to trap Dirrell in a corner or against the ropes and keep him from getting away or tying up. One of the fighters that always excelled at these things was (and I hate to say it, because I really don't like the guy) Tyson. He was better at slipping down low and moving inside quick to unload a fast combination on target than anyone I can remember. And you just couldn't run from the guy, either. He'd cut you off and trap your ass against the ropes or in a corner in about 5 seconds, and keep you running until you were either too tired to run, or made a mistake and got caught. It took a long time for someone to realize that you want to fight fire with fire, with Tyson.

Anyway, Stevens should spend about 4 hours a day watching Tyson fights, and then 4 hours practicing his moves, for about a month. Learn from the best, I always say.

It would take more the a month and 4 hours of Tyson fights to do a little bit of what Tyson did. Im on my 4th year and I'm still not done learning.

why is there even a thread for curtis stevens?

It was tough to watch the Dirrell fight, and not only because of the inaction of Andre. Stevens' last few fights have been against boxers and movers, and the truth of the matter is that I'm not sure any kind of preparation would've enabled him to beat Dirrell.

Dirrell is too big, rather he's just a real super middleweight. Stevens is really a junior middleweight with baby fat. I knew from the Carl Daniels and Darnell Boone fights that there was no way Stevens would be able to deal with lateral movement. He doesn't move his upper body and walks straight in. He doesn't even cut off the ring. If he wants to get serious about the sport, he needs to cut some weight and become a real junior middleweight.

agree at 5'7" he should seriously think about ltmiddle.

I meant that to read 4 hours a day watching, then 4 hours a day practicing, for a month. That's 8 hours a day. If you can't get the basics within a month of 8 hour days, take off the gloves and buy a knitting kit, you have no business in the ring.

Stevens needs a new trainer!!!!! Rozier is simply a amateur trainer and if showtime wants to move foward in his development and career he needs somebody new in that corner, same goes for Dirrell.
