  • Comments Thread For: Curtis Stevens: The Fall and Rise of a Chin Checker

    By Thomas Gerbasi - If you weren’t around New York City in 2004-05, you probably wouldn’t understand, but during that period, there wasn’t anything bigger coming out of the Big Apple boxing scene than Curtis Stevens and Jaidon Codrington, buddies who were collectively known as The Chin Checkers.

    There was a buzz in the air, hip-hop heavyweights Chris Gotti and Damon Dash were making their presence known as manager and co-promoter, respectively, and local venues were being packed every time the two fought. It was a heady time to be a 20-year-old knockout artist.

    “I was fighting every month, fighting two times a month, selling out the Hammerstein Ballroom, and just knocking people out, being the talk of the town, and one of the up and coming prospects in the New York area,” said Stevens, now 28, of those days.

    It’s hard to believe that it was eight years ago, but time waits for no one, especially not prizefighters, and the crushing blows that spelled an end to The Chin Checkers came fast, starting in late 2005. First the 9-0 Codrington got knocked out in 18 seconds by Allan Green in a Showtime-televised bout. Eight months later, the 13-0 Stevens got stopped in eight rounds by journeyman Marcos Primera.

              I wish him well. Was a big fan of Codrington after the Bika war shame he did nothing after.

              Hope Curtis can atleast put GGG through hell and I come out fans of both
