Comments Thread For: Badou Jack ordered to face Ryan Rozicki by WBC

Yeah but Jack is coming off a long layoff, is 41 years old, and has always been a very slow starter. I'm a Jack fan but these are red flags.

Yeah I know that but but from what I saw from Rozicki , I wouldn’t be surprised how much he’ll need
Rozicki does hit hard and will attempt to jump on Jack without making him breathe
It all depends how much footwork and how solid his legs are

I thought Jack had retired and never bothered to notify anyone..still remember his fights with DeGale and Stevenson. Feels like ages ago.

He actually moved up to bridgerweight to get a shot at that silly belt, but the WBC strung him along and it never materialized. That's why he got champion-in-recess status at cruiserweight.

Jack is the best fighter to come out of Mayweather promotions he has good technical skills and he listened and learned and earned alot of money working with Mayweather Promotions. He started his own promotion company and has a foundation for youth. The reason I say he is a sure hall of famer because he has won world championships in 3 divisions and he has a fighter's discipline besides Crawford and Plant, the rest of these fighters are not disciplined outside the ring.

Will this fight be at 190 lbs? Think I saw that the WBC reduced the limit to accomodate the Bridgerweight division... How will that work for unification bouts?

I think at one point there was talk of it being at 190lb, but the WBC website lists bridgerweight as 200 - 224 lb.

Jack loses. And he should. The man has had a good career, but he was only good in his prime, and he has survived on nice matching late in his career. This feels like a 12 round one sided beatdown to me.

Rozicki ???
I think k he’ll have a hard time beating Badou
Very crafty fighter
Not sure what he has left but …….

It all comes down to your last sentence. Rozicki, on the other hand, has waited a long time and he’ll come to apply pressure the full 12 rounds.

I don’t doubt it but if Jack has anything left in those legs , Rozicki will have a hard time
That’s my two cents

This is whats wrong with boxing. Man hasnt defended his belt in two years, TWO YEARS, WBC. But he still has it. Boxing is Trash. Sanctioning bodies are worse than promoters.
