Fanboy-ism aside. Do you really think there's a better chance of an upset here than Rosado/Chocolate?

I think this is a more risky fight because of Stevens Power.
Stevens would probably ice Rosado if they fought.

Rosado didn't/Doesn't have a very good Chance to hurt Quillin, all he can really do is try to be faster and beat him to the punch

I wouldn't bet on an Upset in either fight though. They would have to be Flukes

Yeah but you were talking track record above, so I took you up on that. Stevens has not shown that power against any decent and durable opponent, in fact just struggled against one. GGG has shown 1 punch power against several of those.

More than track record, the concussive nature of the punch. I have seen a number of both of their fights and when Stevens was a 168 to 175 pound fighter as well, he showed concussive power at a higher weight than GGG has, the kind where the guy is out before he hits the ground. He also has had more fights that have ended inside a minute, more than GGG. Again, this is a legit observation. It doesn't make it fact but it is legit. That's where I'm coming from.

OK fair enough, i must not have seen these fights. The only durable guy I've seen him stop was that Pole that went the distance with (washed up) AA, and that wasn't a 1 punch stoppage iirc. But it seems like he mostly goes the distance and struggles with more durable journeymen like Findley and Mouton.

I would say that's because GGG probes a lot more than Curtis does. If he came out like Curtis, I'm sure he would have more early ko's. Took him almost 40 seconds to throw a punch against Macklin. I'm not denying Curtis' power though as he is obviously heavy handed.

I can fast forward easily and double clicking on any flash video with your mouse will make it stretch out to the entire screen.

I'm on an iPad.

So it shouldn't surprise me, this website runs like hell on it. But this site really could use some upgrades all around.

I think it would be cool if fighters all got on a punch PSI machine just to see what each top fighter has. Unfortunately a lot of people would actually bet on fights based on the punch PSI which would be a mistake cause that would be a good way to lose a lot of money. In the fight I see Stevens or GGG by early KO, if it goes late, I cannot see anything but GGG by KO. I'm going with GGG mid to late. If he is smart he will make Stevens miss and make him pay and slowly wear him out and find the right time to attack. Stevens needs to back up his talk now.

The only real way to tell is with a machine that can measure PSI but that would not tell us anything about what the dynamics will be in the ring.

Pretty much. I'm expecting him to bring it, but as the saying goes, everyone has a plan till they get hit. And that first clean jab that Golovkin lands might change everything, because I think that's GGG's most effective weapon he has. The anticipation is killing me though.

The ending of the video is fun: Curtis is promoting the fight well
