Comments Thread For: Duva in Favor of Curtis Stevens Fighting in BKB

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Curtis Stevens will be fighting Gabriel Rosado on pay-per-view on April 4 in Las Vegas, but it won’t be a traditional boxing match. Rather, it will be a bout under the new BKB, or Big Knockout Boxing, promotion, which takes place in a pit-style boxing ring with no ropes and shorter rounds.

And that’s OK with his promoter, Kathy Duva of Main Events.

“We made the deal for him,” she said. “It benefits Curtis Stevens because he’s getting paid a lot of money by someone who wants to pay it, and he gets kind of a free shot. It doesn’t go on your boxing record, but if you win you’ve kind of brought yourself back. He is in a position in his career where he needs to bring himself back and at the same time secure himself financially. This creates the opportunity for him to do that.”

The man has to start pulling the trigger again. It's that simple.

I like Curtis but the man is simply too one dimensional, doesn't even know how to apply pressure just hopes he gets you with one of his vicious counters otherwise he is lost. Still as a fan I hope he beats Rosado, but I think he might get caught with the small gloves and be done for good(But if Rosado loses it's by knockout and he has also taken too much damage).

Stevens has lead feet the small pit will suit him well not as much room to move

Human dog fighting. Might as well roll their gloves in crushed glass to make it interesting.

Yup. If he doesn't, Rosado is going to pounce on him. Each round is two minutes, no time for Stevens to be inactive or constantly shaking his arms out. Just throw punches!
