Comments Thread For: Badou Jack Vacates WBC Title, Officially Moves Up To 175-Pounds

[Bronx2245]

While Alvarez & Bute are fighting the eliminatior can Jack be installed as the mandatory since he was 168 champ? And the winner has to immediately fight the winner of Alvarez vs Bute?

That only works for Canelo!

[Travycat]

Lot of big punchers in that division, but if he can't make the super middle weights, guess he has no choice.

[Cinci Champ]

That is true. He needs to fight a couple soft touches to get used to the weight.


I think he will win some fights but Kovalev Ward and Stevenson beat him



Kovalev and Stevenson by KO. Ward wide UD

maybe i honestly think his style will work well at 175. well see if it can turn into a belt or not but dont count him out

[MrRolltide91]

Good luck to him

[Eff Pandas]

Guess it's good Jack dropped the belt instead of go through the motion for months like I've seen others do.

Hope he goes right into a Stevenson fight. Or maybe they legit do a catchweight rematch with DeGale.

[Cutthroat]

I think his chin will improve if he's that badly drained, but his lack of power and style will be his undoing. Looks like he relies on physicality, using his size to come forward, that's not good at 175, he can get blasted out fast especially if he's lacking power.

[Motorcity Cobra]

That only works for Canelo!

That would be great though. I rather see Stevenson fight Jack and have Joe Smith Jr fight Beterbiev on the undercard

[Afi23]

How about Jack vs Pascal?

[bigdunny1]

Unless he is dying and just can't physically make weight I don't see this as a good thing. I think he'll be less effective at 175 and a direct rematch with Degale probably pays him more the any fight he can get next at 175. Why not have that rematch before moving up?

[GMAN SUPREME]

Kovalev ain't icing ****.

He ain't taking those bodyshots.

kovalev crushes jack. beterbiev and chickson do the same ward decisions him.I'd favor barrera over him too he's out of his league at 175.
