    GGG didn't lose concentration. He had a fawkin turtle in front of him. When someone is in survival mode, you tee off... try to get him or of there. Curtis surprised GGG by sticking his head out of his shell every now and then

      If he wanted out....he would have quit. But he didn't. He stuck in there for another 6 rounds. If anybody cared to watch any of his other fights, you'd see that he spends a lot of his time in the High Guard and fights off the ropes against pressure fighters. That's the way he fights.

        Down the stretch he did go into survival mode but he kept coming back until GGG would hurt him again...
        That face Stevens made after getting knocked down in round 2 was ***** priceless...

          quitting in boxing is easy. turn your back, wave your hands, say "no mas." it's easy.

          it's a hell of a lot easier than coming back out for six more rounds of a life changing beating.


          stevens is f#cking hurting right now because he's a brave son of a b#Tch and stayed in the fight.

            In that moment I think he wanted his corner to take him out. They didn't and he made a hell of an effort to get back into a fight he couldn't win. Very brave performance.

              it looked like he was looking at the clock.


              if you want the fight stopped you can get it stopped.

                By putting his back against the ropes and occasionally throwing some punches? All he did was make an effort not to get KO'd silly

                  He did alright, he has a bit shaken after the KD but it looked to me like he figured he would fight carefully and look for that counter left hook which worked but the problem is GGG took it so well and Stevens you can see really believes in that punch so when it wasn't effective he had no answers and just shelled up the last couple rounds.

                    TS is a joke. It's a disservice to GGG and Stevens to say shiet like that.

                      Man, I was not expecting Stevens to get up from that KD, let alone stay in the fight for as long as he did. Matter of fact when he started tagging GGG with some shots I honestly thought he was making his way back into the fight.
