Comments Thread For: Badou Jack Credits His Strength In Knockout Win Over Makabu: "They Underestimated My Power"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The nagging ticking sound playing in the playground had become unbearably loud. However, at the age of 39, Badou Jack was well aware that his time in this brutal profession was drawing to a close.

I thought Jack's movement was key to his victory; he took the outside angle, stepped in behind the shoulder to smoother, and used dips/pivots to great affect. It was really good seeing Jack employ an active defense over his usual static high guard.

Agreed. Great post!

Good win. People forget Canelo requested to the WBC to make him Makabu's mandatory only to duck Makabu after images (1).jpg

Jack was getting outworked, but he was clearly the more accurate, and skilled boxer. Makabu had the footwork of a toddler, and couldn't get out of his own way. Badou was calm, selected his punches well, and let the KO come to him, rather than trying to force the issue.

Tbf Makabu is not known for having a good chin

Now that Badou Jack has won the title, he should make his first title defense against Richard Rivera, whom he beat by a close split decision the fight before.
